In 1925, Sang Town, Jiangnan.
Nineteen-year-old Sang Mu was betrothed by his father to Zheng Degui, the owner of Mihang, who was 20 years older than him - a man who had already lost two wives. On the eve of her wedding, she broke off the silver hairpin that symbolized "chastity" and fled to Hangzhou Girls' School. Little did she know that the hairpin contained the unfinished secret of her biological mother.
In the basement of the girls' school, she found a charred "Book of Songs". Between the broken pages was the final words of Sang Yao, the leader of the Women's Self-Defense Forces 20 years ago: "The leaves of the mulberry tree have not yet fallen. Three thousand glimmers of light will eventually turn into a prairie fire."
A revolution using the female body as a weapon has already laid the groundwork——
- The deformed feet with bound feet can accurately kick over candlesticks and ignite explosive fuses;
- The mechanism in the silver hairpin is the key to detonating the underground arsenal of girls' schools across the country;
- Infected people with lignified skin, engraved with evidence of their oppressors like living archives;
- The neural network composed of the roots of the mulberry tree is compiling the verses of "Meng" into a revenge code.
When Sang Mu finally stood at the birthday banquet of the Governor's Mansion, under the red hijab were not the tears of a bride, but a mantra that destroyed the old world:
"As a crying girl, I have no food for mulberries -
Come on, I am a free man! "
