[No cp, soul wear, women wear men, daily life]
With the soul of a modern Chinese woman, she borrows the body of a black man to experience the flames and smoke of the American Civil War and the dark and painful history of black slaves in the South.
When Su Qing, a female college student in the modern workplace, suddenly opened her eyes after working overtime, she found that she had become a male black slave named "Ezekiel" on a southern plantation in the United States in 1861.
The 12 hours of scorching sun in the cotton field, the meager vitality of the private plot on Sunday, the standard survival food of tortillas and spoiled bacon, as well as the forbearance under the whip of the slave owner and the malicious temptation of the overseer - she must put a female soul into a male body to survive within the iron rules of slavery.
She was no longer a bystander as the whispers of the Emancipation Proclamation pierced the night sky. From secretly delivering escape information to leading black slaves across the line of fire towards the Union Army, from mutual aid in plantation cabins to the apartheid walls in northern cities, with the sobriety of a modern soul, she personally experienced the smoke of the Civil War and witnessed the more stubborn shackles behind freedom.
When Lincoln's Declaration meets the "Black Code" of the South, when the freedom of escape hits the barriers to employment, this Chinese girl, who bears the identity of a male black slave, must carve out a life full of blood and sweat in the cracks of history, for herself and for countless souls like her.
There are no exaggerated sufferings, no fictitious miracles, only the knives secretly sharpened during Sunday rest, the medicine hidden, and the phrase quietly passed on in the dark night - "Freedom is not something you have to wait for."
