In a quiet room in a mountain village in late autumn, the Eastern Master summoned Concubine Zhen who died unjustly a hundred years ago and many other undead souls in the palace. Concubine Zhen appeared and cried out about the tragic experience of being imprisoned and died by Cixi. Behind her, hundreds of innocent ghosts jointly complained about the history of blood and tears of power struggles in the palace. Through cause-and-effect analysis, the master guided Concubine Zhen to reflect on her mistakes of being arrogant and radical in reform, and also guided her to think about Cixi's position and difficulties as a person in power.
Under the guidance of the master, Concubine Zhen gradually understood the underlying cause of the palace tragedy, put aside her hatred for Ci Xi, and took the initiative to repent of her youthful and frivolous recklessness. Cixi's soul also appeared in response, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached a reconciliation that spanned life and death. In the bath of Buddha's light, Concubine Zhen and the many dead souls shed their shackles of obsession and realized the true meaning of life as a drama. Their souls were sublimated in forgiveness and compassion, and finally passed away to heaven in the golden light.
The story explores the themes of cause and effect, reincarnation, empathy and soul redemption through supernatural narratives, demonstrates the profound connotation of self-salvation in Eastern wisdom, and warns the world not to be blinded by the desire for power. Only compassion and wisdom can resolve grievances and achieve the ultimate liberation of life.
