He was originally a talented man lying high on the lotus peak, but he was born into an imperial family by mistake, and had to bear the heavy shackles of "the family and the country for forty years". He is Li Yu, the eternal Ci Emperor, and the most tragic monarch in history.
With delicate and majestic writing, this book reproduces the golden conflict and the beauty and sadness of the last years of the Southern Tang Dynasty. From the "beautiful and fragrant tree" in front of the bedside of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to the secret tenderness of the "hand-held gold-threaded shoes" of the Empress of the Little Zhou Dynasty; from the exposed flesh of the motherland that "cannot bear to look back", to the tragic heartbreak of "taking advantage of the opportunity to poison" in the Bianjing prison.
This is not only a historical romance about rise and fall, but also an ultimate aesthetic about beauty and destruction. See how a peerless talent, under the stranglehold of power, carved the swan song of "a river of spring water flows eastward" into the marrow of civilization with blood and tears. A dream of prosperity will eventually turn into blood and tears, waiting for you to appreciate the unparalleled elegance and heart-wrenching pain of this eternal Ci Emperor.
When Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty joked in the Zichen Palace, "Li Yu has good lyrics, I will get a good wife", the dignity of culture was crushed by the imperial power. However, "anywhere with well water can sing Li Ci", the power of words cannot be imprisoned after all.
This is an epic about talent, betrayal, redemption and inheritance, taking you into the real legacy of the Southern Tang Dynasty where poetry and blood are intertwined.
This book not only reproduces the extreme sorrow of "the motherland cannot look back", but also depicts how Song Zhenzong, with the mind of a generation of emperors, completed the ultimate redemption of history and civilization through the edict of lifting the ban on "Zunqian Collection".
