Cheng Xiaoyuan, a young man who first joined the Kyoto opera troupe, performed in "The Drunken Concubine". His eyes wandered, and he had a pair of drunken imperial eyes. From then on, he became a stand-in.
Emperor Chu Lian looked at him, as if through time, he saw the shocking figure that he had been dreaming of when he was young - the General Zhenbei who was now far away at the border.
So, the dragon robe was changed into regular clothes, and the Nine-Five Supreme Lord turned into the gentle guard "Wang Lian". A well-woven encounter and a few words of intimate talk and laughter easily captured the young man's sincere and hot heart.
He promised him a quiet night with red candles and a civil wedding banquet; he defied all opinions and welcomed him into the palace, crowning him with the honor of "male concubine" and notoriety.
From "an unknown troupe boy" to "the Yang Guifei known to everyone in the streets", Long En's favor is unparalleled.
The young man thought this was the kind of unswerving love that only existed in the storybook.
Until he saw the treasured portrait of the general in the warehouse, the features and eyes were exactly the same as his;
Until he heard the drunk king whispering another person's name on his lips;
Until he realized that his hard-practiced singing, exquisite clothes, and even an unintentional expression were just engraved according to another mold...
It turns out that he was just playing "Yang Guifei" on and off the stage.
The honor and favor are fake, the affection is fake, and even the wedding that he cherishes the most is nothing more than the emperor's self-righteous love for that person.
When the curtain of the stage falls, the cruelty of real life has just begun.
The deep palace is like the sea, and the imperial power is like a prison. He, a bird that accidentally entered the golden cage, had his wings broken by tenderness.
If this life is like a drama, then the last twist——
Cheng Xiaoyuan

4. Wake up with a start

Sing a song: This life is so ridiculous
Sleeping forever in the palace/It will be difficult to return to my hometown
The sincerity of young people has been paid for by lies
Why not wake up?
I wrote the final article a long time ago. I will post it when I have time to type. Now I have added some new settings, so I have to fill it in slowly (
My understanding of opera is very shallow, so you are welcome to point out, and the author will revise it when he has time (please compare your thoughts)
