Princess Changping of the Emperor's Flower

Story synopsis of "Princess Changping of the Imperial Daughter of Flowers": In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the beacon smoke swept across Beijing. The golden princess of Changping, Zhu Yuluo, was about to go to Hongzhuang with the newly-elected consort Zhou Xianzong, but she ran into Li Zicheng's iron hoof to destroy the city. When the imperial city collapsed, Emperor Chongzhen swung his sword to save the royal family's face and accidentally killed Princess Zhaoren. Although Changping survived, he was left in shock with his arm broken. Zhou Xianzong and his loyal servants risked their lives to rescue her from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​fire, and hid her in the cellar of Zhou's mansion. However, in the troubled times, people's minds were unpredictable, the servants reported the matter, and King Chuang's pursuers suddenly arrived. Zhou Xianzong had no choice but to treat Chang Pingyi as his "cousin" and send him to a nunnery for temporary refuge. From then on, she led the Buddhist monks to practice Buddhism, but she could not hide the pain of the loss of her country and her family. The Qing court entered the country, and the news became tight again. The traces of Changping were leaked again and fell into the hands of the Qing court. Under coercion and inducement, she mistakenly believed that the informant was Zhou Xianzong, and she was filled with grief and anger. In exchange for a little respite, she was sent to a nunnery on the condition that "Chongzhen and the martyred royal family should be buried according to royal etiquette." When they reunited in the nunnery, she learned that Zhou Xianzong had been placed under house arrest by the Qing court to protect her. The so-called "betrayal" was all a misunderstanding. Zhou Xianzong wept and begged on his knees, and the Qing court approved a two-day marriage. In the Zhou family's courtyard, with red candles and dim lights, the lovers who had gone through hardships finally got married. However, on their wedding night, they both committed suicide by hanging themselves, fulfilling their first promise of "marrying the country together" and leaving a tragic song about integrity and love in troubled times. This eventually became the origin of "The Flower of the Emperor" that has been sung through the ages. The love and hatred between family and country are forged in flesh and blood, and love and hate are soaked in tears. Their story is the last sunset of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the unbroken backbone of the Han people in troubled times.
