During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the world was not at peace yet. The situation among the families was changing, and even the talented and beautiful could not escape the torrent of fate. Lu You was born in a famous family. He was young and talented. He had the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the country. He was famous for his articles since he was a child. Tang Wan, a lady from an aristocratic family, is gentle, intelligent, and talented as a man. She has been a childhood sweetheart with Lu You since she was a child, and they have a long-lasting friendship. A marriage contract, the music of the harp and the harmonious singing under the plum blossoms, it was a match made in heaven from a scholarly family. However, his official career failed and his aspirations were difficult to develop. Tang Wan recommended him as a ghostwriter in order to help her husband out of trouble. Unexpectedly, it aroused the suspicion of her mother-in-law, the criticism of her clan members, and the suppression of ethical ethics. The relationship was interrupted. The loving couple was forced to separate, Tang Wan became depressed and became ill, the fragrance disappeared, and Lu You regretted his whole life, wandering around the country, and every line was full of old dreams that he had not yet awakened from. Three years later, I met Shen Yuan by chance. The old friend was married, and my heart was as broken as yesterday. The heart-breaking words have been passed down for generations. The novel takes the love between Lu and Tang as its sutra and the importance of etiquette and law as its latitude, unfolding a tragedy of the times about the intertwining of loyalty, filial piety and human ethics, freedom and repression, talent and destiny. Tang Wan's tenderness is strong-willed, while Lu You's love is deep and meaningful. Neither of them is a romantic person, but a portrayal of their souls struggling with the feelings of their home country and the shackles of the world. This book reconstructs the real lives of Lu You and Tang Wan, with history as the root and emotion as the soul. It has the elegance and tenderness of poetry and lyrics, as well as the struggle against fate of separated flesh and blood. What it tells is not a pure love tragedy, but an era's examination of human nature and emotions, a life trajectory that is torn apart by ethics and ethics but is still deeply moving. The shadows of flowers in Shenyuan Garden are still there, and the poems and poems have been passed down through the ages. However, love is like smoke and it is hard to find a beautiful woman. I hope this book can comfort the eternal regrets and remember the true feelings of the world
