The Five Dynasties were a time of chaos and turmoil. She was originally the daughter of the Li family, with a pure heart, skillful and tender hands, but due to a "night fire in the stable", she had a lifelong private life with Liu Zhiyuan, a poor man with nothing. From then on, she entered the whirlpool of fate and became an abandoned child in the hands of her brother and sister-in-law. She was pregnant in ten months and was born by biting her navel; she was poured with hemp and grinded for sixteen years, just to keep a silent agreement and an everlasting love.
He was born in a young age, but he had the aura of a dragon; he encountered a red monster by chance, tamed a sweaty horse, and received a golden helmet and armor from heaven. He rode his horse on Chicken Mountain, bid farewell to the beautiful woman in tears, and joined the army in Fenzhou, eventually establishing the Later Han Dynasty. Even though he is a highly respected minister and looks down upon the Central Plains, the beauty in his heart has never faded away. At Sanchi Mill and beside the snow-covered well, a piece of blood book awakens the past, and also brings back the figure who watched him leave sixteen years ago by the melon garden.
She is a loving mother who bites her navel and suffers pain, a woman by the well on a cold night, a weak girl who is fearless in front of a tiger, a high queen who has not been recorded in history books but has been sung by the people for thousands of years; he is the emperor who competes in the Central Plains, a loyal and unfailing husband, and the waiter who never dares to wake up from his dream. Mother and son chase rabbits and recognize their relatives, couples meet in the mill, love reunites in the wind and snow, and love blossoms in the suffering of the world.
"Souls in Troubled Times" takes Li Sanniang, a strange woman through the ages, as the main line, blending historical facts and folk legends to present an ups and downs plot, flesh-and-blood characters, and touching emotions. This book is not only a soul-stirring love epic in troubled times, but also a hymn to life that reflects the tenacity of human nature, the fidelity of women, and the coexistence of suffering and hope.
Snow and cold plum blossoms, jade bones and ice hearts; years of dust and dust, the fragrance of the soul will never die. She, Li Sanniang, was a beauty in troubled times and a model for the ages.
