The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix, the Beauty Seeks

During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhuo Wenjun, a talented girl from Linqiong in Shu County, returned home as a new widow. She had a peerless appearance but an orchid-like heart, and refused marriage proposals from powerful men. One day, his father Zhuo Wangsun entertained guests at a banquet and invited Sima Xiangru, a down-and-out talented man who was famous for his poetry. During the dinner, Xiangru played a piece of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" on the harp. The music was lingering like a cry of admiration. Wenjun listened through the curtain, and his heartstrings trembled. The two had a private meeting in the middle of the night and promised each other a lifetime, but were strongly opposed by Zhuo Wangsun - they were just like a family with only one talent. Wenjun resolutely ran at night, and he and Xiangru wandered in Chengdu, making a living selling wine. Coarse cloth and thorn hairpins cannot hide their elegance, and the laughter and laughter among the people in the market hide the hardship of life. Xiangru was appreciated by Emperor Wu and became an official in Beijing. He wrote "Shanglin Fu" and became famous in Chang'an. However, he gradually became addicted to power and wanted to take concubines. Wenjun stayed alone in his empty boudoir and received a cold thirteen-character letter from him: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten, million" (there is no "billion", which means "unintentional"). In grief and anger, he wrote "Baitou Yin": "I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart until we grow old..." The torrent of history is intertwined with the entanglements of people's hearts: the conspiracy of Gillian in Changmen Palace, the undercurrent of palace power, and the overt and covert struggles of Shu merchants, all become a test of love. When Xiangru came to his senses and repented, Wenjun revived the Zhuo family business and became a wealthy silk merchant in Sichuan. He resigned from his job and traveled thousands of miles away, only to see her standing alone at Jinjiang Wharf, with thousands of clouds and brocades behind her - this was the confidence she had earned with her talent, and it was also the betrothal gift she had prepared for him when he returned.
