In the second year of Xuantong, sixteen-year-old Liu Ruyi was forced to marry into a deep house as a concubine to pay off her family's debts. Gengzi's national calamity and the war in troubled times forced her out of the prison. From a girl at the mercy of others to a homeless duckweed, she awakened with difficulty in the wave of reform ideas and revolution. The Qing Emperor abdicates and the Republic of China is reborn. Can she escape her fate and fight for a real dawn for herself in the fission of the times? This is a tragic and joyous epic about early women's awakening and self-redemption.
