She used the ashes from the bottom of a pot to smear her dirty face, twisted her hair, and pretended to be a lame wild boy - in this era, a clean face was a reminder of death. She taught the farmer's daughter Xiuying who took her in the same disguise, thinking that she could avoid disaster in this way. But the tragedy still happened, and she could only watch helplessly.
She hates the world, but she has no gun, no power, and can't even stand up. The only thing she could do was to use herself as a bargaining chip to gamble on the compassion of a warlord and deputy general.
This is not a simple story about a warlord and his deputy falling in love with a weak woman. This is a story about awakening - about how a person comes out of darkness, about how a woman goes from 'self-rescue' to 'rescuing others', and about how two souls illuminate each other in blood and fire. Shen Qingru's strength and fragility, and Shen Zhaoning's silence and tenderness, are all written in a delicate and moving way. In the end, personal love merged into the current of the times, giving this story a grander pattern.
