The vermilion palace wall separates two worlds.
The world outside the wall is vast, but inside the wall, a group of women sacrificed their youth and souls.
Jing Xihe shouldered his family's mission and stepped into the game, struggling clearly between his own will and absolute power from beginning to end;
Murong Shunhua had a fiery temperament with a clear distinction between love and hate, which eventually burned him, reflecting the illusion of the emperor's favor;
Under the honor of Sheng Wangshu's mother, the goodness of one's heart and the virtues defined by the emperor will be squeezed beyond recognition;
Su Lanshu tried to build a spiritual paradise with poems and books, but in the end he had to lock the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River into the deep courtyard in order to survive;
Jin Chenbi buried the freedom and unruliness in his bones deeply, longing for a way of life that would allow both his homeland and himself to survive;
Ye Yunge read poetry and books and was ambitious, but in the end he chose to carry out the final silent resistance in a silent way...
This is a tragic song for a woman in the palace, and it is also a destined to be silent and hopeless struggle between the free will of countless living individuals and the unshakable authoritarian power.
Those who struggled were crushed, those who obeyed were alienated, and those who resisted were silenced.
Either for their family, or for love, or for self-protection, or for the illusory power, they are struggling in this cage of gold and jade.
Someone is cooking oil in a blazing fire, and it turns into nothing in an instant;
Some people still see deep water and finally see a glimmer of light;
Someone's fragrance disappears and their jade disappears, silently.
The prosperity is gone, but the Fengque Zhulou remains. However, the fresh life, struggle, love, hate and tears that once existed have finally turned into a few cold records in the history books, or vague sighs from the palace people.
The red wall is deep, how many souls are locked inside?
I would like to dedicate this article to every "she" who has been submerged by the torrent of the times.
Instructions for consumption:
1. There is no emotional line between the heroine and the emperor! The emperor plays very few roles. In the early stage, he is the tool for the heroine to pursue power, and in the later stage, he is the driving force behind the heroine's recognition of reality!
2. When writing group portraits of women carefully, I guarantee that I will not deliberately abuse women for no reason, and I will absolutely love women between the lines...
3. In a dramatic direction, write the story of subsequent hair loss in an imaginary way ~
4. The female group portraits will be heavier before becoming the queen, and the heroines will be heavier after becoming the queen~
5. It is not a simple palace battle story, it is the conflict between free will and the authoritarian system. It is a story in which the heroine seems to have won the championship but finds that this game is not fun at all.
Purpose: The conflict between personal will and autocratic imperial power reveals the alienation and devouring of individuals by the feudal power structure through the fate of a group of women with different identities in the palace but who are equally trapped.
