The son of Gu Su, whose name was Heng and whose courtesy name was Zijing, his parents died early and he went to Beijing alone to join the British uncle Shen's family.
The Shen family is a century-old noble family, with beautiful women in the boudoir inside and in-laws in the east palace outside. The outside is full of flowers, but there is an undercurrent inside.
The young man has clear features and is gentle and considerate towards others, but he has a sense of alienation from his own flesh and blood, like the sun hanging in the sky, shining without selfishness.
So the widowed sister-in-law secretly made a secret promise in the private courtyard, the young master's thoughts were hard to understand late at night, the cousin wasted her time on the dressing table, and the sisters turned against each other across the wall.
He followed his own path to the imperial examination and stayed true to his ideal, never deviating from it.
Until the East Palace was defeated, the imperial gate collapsed, the Tiqi trampled the begonias in the courtyard, and the shackles crushed the glory of several generations.
He used his fame as a shield and left a Taoist temple to house the remaining souls of his female relatives;
He returned home with his old friend, dressed in fine clothes, leaving half his life's obsessions reduced to ashes.
In the end, in the tea shop gossip, there was only one sentence:
That day when Heng Wu entered the imperial capital, many souls were driven away by the wind.
