During the Jianing period of the Dajing Dynasty, there were many aristocratic families, and the fate of ordinary women was mostly related to the rise and fall of their families. She was born in a branch of the Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River. She had been living under the fence since she was a child, and her temperament was as introverted as still water. There was an undercurrent of turmoil in the house, and the separation between concubine and concubine was like an invisible high wall. She hid her wisdom and sharpness, and only secretly practiced calligraphy and reading in a quiet place, watching the ups and downs of the world.
In an accident, she found half a broken book, from which she got a glimpse of the way of life and basic medical principles. From then on, she used forbearance as a shield and wisdom as a blade, and she fought step by step amidst the open and covert attacks in the deep house. Faced with the difficulties of her aunt and the rejection of her sisters, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and resolved the crisis in subtle ways; when she met a down-and-out scholar and a wandering doctor, she treated them with kindness and unexpectedly formed a good relationship.
From an orphan girl who was dependent on others to a being who can stand alone, her growth is like a weed, quietly but perseveringly growing. Under the moonlight, she lost her youthfulness, found a foundation for her life on the edge of troubled times, and protected the people she wanted to protect in the wind and rain. There were no earth-shattering feats, only steady perseverance. She used her own way to find her own gentle but firm path in life in this imaginary era.
