"Red Beauty" tells the heart-wrenching legend of Luo Wuyan, the princess of Tinglan Kingdom, who has been ups and downs in love, power, family, country and destiny throughout her life. She was born as Princess Tinglan. She first fell in love with the chief guard Shen Changfeng, but they were separated by life and death. She married Xiao Jingyu, Sima of Shuoyun Kingdom, but was coveted by Xiao Chengling, the king of Shuoyun. Her husband was killed and mother and son were separated. Mu Wujiu, the envoy of Xuanyue Kingdom, has been deeply in love with Tinglan since he first met her. He hid his love for his family and country and silently protected her when she encountered many disasters. But troubled times have no room for tenderness.
She is as noble and tenacious as an orchid. She has been loved, let down, plundered, and protected all her life. She has spent half her life in the fate of a beauty in troubled times. She has experienced love, hate, separation, life and death, and finally her soul returns to the depths of the orchid fragrance and reunites with her true love. The work uses the orchid as an image throughout, integrating palace intrigue, love in troubled times, female growth, family and country grievances, and conveying the involuntary desolation of women in troubled times, as well as the affectionate obsession that transcends nationality, identity, life and death.

It constructs a picture of troubled times, depicting Luo Wuyan's ups and downs life in troubled times from a simple princess who believed in love and yearned for freedom to going through various hardships. A bit sadistic.
