About This Novel
In the early years of the Republic of China, the Ma family, a prominent family in Hu Town in the south of the Yangtze River, suffered a series of disasters. First, the daughter-in-law Jiang Ruying hanged herself from a honey locust tree in the courtyard because she was dissatisfied with her husband's living and drinking outside. Then the owner Ma Nan also committed suicide by taking rat poison because of the pain in his chest for decades. The Ma family compound was in a state of turmoil. Could all of this be caused by the ghost of her who died unjustly fifty years ago? Ten years later, the Ma family set off a new round of uproar. Ma Deyang, who had been away for ten years, married a new wife and returned home, but was rejected. And his grown-up daughter Xiao Hehua, who has just begun to fall in love, also unknowingly falls into the emotional confusion between the servant Wu Yazi and the young master of the Wang family Wang Jiaren. Will the turmoil in the Ma Family Courtyard never stop? And what is the horrifying top secret that Mrs. Ma has hidden for nearly half a century? On the night of the lotus pond, the cold crescent moon is above; my unpredictable heart wants to express my secret thoughts... I just say: "The path of the lotus is cleared by mist and rain, but life is desolate where love is superficial."
