A broken inkstone, two volumes of books, the fate of three people was wandering in troubled times. When her deep love is let down, when her faith is betrayed, when all her expectations are in vain, can she find her own way of survival amidst the overturned glory and shattered ideals?
Purpose: To explore the difficult maintenance of personal dignity and the multi-dimensional refraction of complex human nature in the grand and fragmented torrent of the times. It is not a simple love story or revenge legend, but a heavy picture about survival, power, class and human nature under a specific historical background.
