Deep House Yanli

The imperial physician's daughter Shen Qinghe's family fell into decline, and she was forced to become the concubine of the Crown Prince Yongchang and was imprisoned in a separate courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. She looks docile, but secretly studies medical books and saves money, just to escape from prison one day. The prince Lu Yanzhi regarded her as a plaything, but the mistress Lin Jingshu could see the unwillingness in her eyes. Lin Jingshu, who came from a well-known family, married into the Hou Mansion only for the benefit of the family and had already planned to divorce. Two women who were supposed to be in opposition formed a secret alliance under the high walls of the deep house: Qinghe helped Jingshu find out the loopholes in the Hou Mansion's accounts, and Jingshu opened a channel for Qinghe to escape. There is no female rivalry and dog-fighting, only the mutual fulfillment of sober women in troubled times. In the end, Qinghe went to the south of the Yangtze River to practice medicine and set up a business, while Jingshu successfully divorced and became a business owner. They use different methods to tear apart the shackles of the times, proving that the world of women is never just within the confines of the back house. ——This is an ancient novel about escape, growth and female mutual help.
