Resigning to Beijing on a Snowy Night

[This is a story about snowstorm and return, but also a story about trust and waiting. In the 17th year of Yongning, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the small year. It snowed heavily in the capital. Gu Yutang, the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, was punished by her stepmother to kneel in the ancestral hall because her mother's belongings were taken away by her stepbrother. In the dead of night, she climbed over the back window and disappeared alone into the wind and snow. She thought it was an escape. Little did she know that this was the beginning of her pursuit of the truth. The jade pendant left to her by her mother had the word "zhou" engraved on the back; a last-minute letter hidden in the south of the Yangtze River for ten years revealed the truth that her mother did not die of illness; the young man in green shirt who helped her at the ferry took her into a world she had never imagined - My father is not a murderer. He has been secretly investigating for ten years. That jade pendant contained ironclad evidence that could overthrow the chief minister of the dynasty. Now, her father is in jail, and the Zhou family is being hunted all over the city. She is hiding in a small space, and every step is frightening. But she is not alone. Some people are running for her, some are delivering messages for her, and some are protecting her with their lives. "Stay alive." My father asked someone to tell me this sentence in prison. "No matter what happens, stay alive." The snow is still falling. But she is no longer afraid. Because this time, someone was walking with her in the wind and snow.
