   A lengthy historical novel, classic rural literature. A romantic love story, with a poignant and moving plot. An old rural house, a century of vicissitudes. Beginning in the first year of the Republic of China, ending only after the pandemic. The loves and hates of the older generation, the emotional entanglements of the younger generation. A cynical and irresponsible man, a self-indulgent and resentful woman. A thrilling palace intrigue drama, full of suspense and twists. A very good romance novel! A contemporary version of *White Deer Plain*!
