1927, Jiangnan ancient town. Old and new trends of thought collide, and undercurrents surge. Su Tan'er, the young lady of the Su family, is both talented and beautiful, but she is trapped in a deep house and has become a key chess piece for her father, Su Shiyuan, to maintain the interests of the family.
A sudden "Ciyun Temple Scandal" caused her to fall from the clouds, her innocence was ruined, and her reputation was ruined. Rumors spread like wildfire, and she was tightly entangled by the indifference of her relatives, the withdrawal of her admirers, and the covetousness of warlords. The new ideas I admired in the past cannot penetrate the mire of reality now.
At the same time, his elder brother Su Muchen, who was far away at Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou, was bathing in the storm of revolution and knew nothing about the great changes in his family. When he returned from traveling day and night, what awaited him was not his sister's smile, but a grand wedding with red silk hanging high and a crowd of guests.
What kind of determination is hidden under the gorgeous wedding dress? Is the sound of the piano and the cracking of the silk a final elegy or a prelude to resistance? The splendid wedding scene will soon become the altar for the ultimate contest between human nature and destiny.
In this cannibalistic old world, can a weak woman escape from the golden cage? Can the belated truth penetrate the fog and bring about a faint glimmer of light?
Purpose: Women's awakening and resistance
