This is a derivative story of "Dream of Red Mansions", focusing on Xiaohong (Lin Hongyu), a humble third-class maid in Yihongyuan in the past, and continuing her life trajectory before and after the fall of the Jia family. From being ostracized and unwilling in the Grand View Garden, to getting to know and stay with Jia Yun, a distant relative of the Jia family, and redeeming herself and starting a family, Xiao Hong broke away from the shackles of slavery by virtue of her cleverness, perseverance, perseverance and courage.
The storm of confiscation of Jia's house suddenly broke out, and the former prosperity collapsed. Xiaohong and Jia Yun embarked on the road to escape. On the way, they met their old friend Zhui'er, who was also displaced. The three supported each other and traveled to the countryside of Liuxiang and Qinghe Town in the suburbs of Beijing, and then to the water town of Suzhou in Jiangnan. Along the way, they experienced the difficulties of the government and the hardships of relying on others, and they also witnessed the simplicity and goodwill of the common people.
In the end, Xiaohong relied on her exquisite needlework to establish "Xiaohong Embroidery House" in Suzhou. With Jia Yun's careful assistance, Zhuo'er also lost her timidity and became independent through experience. With a warm and healing touch, the story outlines the struggle and perseverance of small people in the torrent of the times, and writes a different kind of life perfection amidst the smoke and fire of the city. Compared with the illusory prosperity of the Grand View Garden, this stability earned with hands and warmth maintained by friendship has become the most solid destination in troubled times. The lingering charm of the Red Mansion is gradually fading, but Xiaohong's fleeting life in the market continues to write the tranquility of the long flow of water in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
