### **"Green River Grass"——Introduction**
**In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, outside the city of Suzhou, the green grass was growing by the river. **
Seven-year-old Mingjun was sold by her biological mother into the Cheng Mansion as a maid for twenty oceans. From then on, she began a life as humble but tenacious as weeds by the river.
In the courtyard of the deep house, Mingjun tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world - the harsh scolding of the eldest wife, the whipping of the steward, the bullying of the eldest young master... She was like a trampled weed, but she always lived tenaciously, just because of the promise to "**live well**" when she parted with her mother.
The only light is Cheng Shuyao, the sickly second young master of the Cheng family. He secretly sent her books and medicine, and told her: "**You are not a slave, you are a human being.**"
However, fate was not kind. When she was sixteen, Master Cheng decided to give her to the brutal warlord Commander Zhao as his concubine. Faced with a desperate situation, Mingjun chose to resist, and Cheng Shuyao also made an amazing decision...
**In troubled times, human life is like grass. **
**But she wanted to make the green riverside grass that could not be burned or broken. **
