In the capital during the Yongxi period, the Shen family was a century-old family with the most prosperity. Jin Tuan, the legitimate daughter of the Shen Mansion in the capital, is sixteen years old. She is a "soft, cute little dumpling". Underneath her innocent and cute appearance, she hides a meticulous mind far beyond her peers. The conspiracy of the struggle for imperial power suddenly arises. The centuries-old mansion falls into ruin overnight. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, Shen Jin Tuan puts away her panic. No one knows that the scarred begonia on Jin Tuan's temples was chosen by her grandmother. My grandmother always said, "There are marks on the calyx of the begonia flower, just like there are marks on the human heart. If you see the same mark in the future, you will know that it is one of your own." She was still young at that time, and it was not until this year that she understood the flowers hidden in flower marks, box patterns, and hairpin decorations, just like the roots of begonias, buried in the soil and invisible, but they can make the flowers bloom for a long time. Holding the "Book of Songs" that holds the family's lifeline tightly, he was forced to shoulder the burden of protecting the family from being a protected little dumpling. From "protecting oneself from the front" to "taking control of the situation and breaking it"
People of later generations always say that the begonias in Shen Mansion withered very hastily that year. When it rains, all the flowers on the trees fall away. Only a few people remember that after the rain stopped, someone found a crabapple pressed under the green bricks in the corner of Shen Mansion - the marks on the calyx were still there, and although the petals were wet, they were not rotten, as if they were waiting for something. In that begonia, there are hidden all the secrets of that late spring, hidden in the rich family's plans, hidden in the undercurrent of the truth, and also hidden in a girl, with silence and meticulousness, for the crumbling home, all the ways to survive.
