Twin Splendid Scenes: Mountains and Rivers Form the Basis

Mountains and rivers are a chess game, and twins are fighting for disaster. A prophecy of "twins with different hearts" caused the fate of the twin sisters in the Ming Dynasty to take different paths since their infancy. The first volume of "Mingzhu Lu": Ming Qingjian, the eldest daughter, was born with the fate that a daughter of the Ming family would become a queen. She had a secret love for her childhood sweetheart, Jiang Zhenhong, the son of the prime minister, but had to struggle between the emperor's suspicion and the shackles of ancestral precepts. Prince Jing Suiyun fell in love with the concubine Ming Yintong, and the four of them worked together to innovate the tax system, resist the rebels, quell the civil unrest, and used their blood to tear apart a ray of dawn under the iron curtain of imperial power. However, there is no room for perfection in troubled times. Ming and Qingjian sacrificed their lives to give their young son a new life. The blood-stained mutton-fat jade at the end of his life revealed a conspiracy that shook the country... The next volume, "The Book of Nightmares": The twin sisters lived among the people and were sold as child brides at the age of six. They watched helplessly as the crazy eldest sister was swallowed up by the troubled world. From a beggar's den to the Valley of Ghost Doctors, from a medicine person to nine thousand years old, she wears a green face and fangs, is in charge of life and death, is named Yan Yan, and has purgatory in her heart. Until he was injured by an arrow and fell off his horse, he was rescued by the Ming Palace, and the broken jade pendant revealed his life experience - the past prophecy was actually the emperor's heart-wrenching lie. Facing the monstrous plague caused by the refining of medicine, the "treacherous eunuch" who once slaughtered all his enemies grasped the knife handed to him by his hometown amid the trembling tears of his parents and the ignorant attachment of his young nephew. When the pearl fell for a long night, the nightmare finally saw the light of day. Two generations of Ming women used blood and fire to tear apart the feudal shackles: some used love as a blade to carve freedom on the stele of ancestral precepts; some used hatred as a shield to lift the dawn from the abyss. The predicted end is never destiny, but is forged by the choices of millions of people - the road to the world.
