Under the peaceful and prosperous age, the undercurrent of Beijing is surging.
At the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, Su Yanci, a scholar from a poor family, wrote a poem that shocked the illusion of glitz and bluntly pointed out the current ills. He almost landed in jail.
The crisis is approaching, and deep in the tea house, Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the aristocratic family, hides her edge with words and uses an understatement to rescue him.
A scrap of inkstone pulls out the dust-shrouded secrets;
A meeting, sharing the integrity of the literati.
He was proud and refused to bow down to the powerful;
She has hidden mountains and rivers in her heart and can see through the affairs of the court.
No bloody rivalry, no house fights and entanglements,
Only the pen and ink hide the heart, and stand side by side with close friends. In the turmoil of the troubled times, they use their bodies to clear their bones and protect the immortality of the text.
