She and he have multiple identities: a country doctor who wanders the mountains and rivers × a confidant of the emperor who plans every step of the way; a favored eldest princess × a descendant of an aristocratic family whose fate is entangled; a border official who guards Ganzhou × a clan leader who has taken root in the capital. One person leads the rivers and lakes, another person leads the court, and the bond spans the mountains and the imperial city.
Without a natural strength, timidity and fear of difficulties are the norm for ordinary people. After going round and round, she and her parents finally repeat the cycle of fate in the court game.
An old case has been gathering dust for many years, and the main plot of the whole story is extremely revengeful. The victims of the past never sought gratification, but only a stable life. But in the chess game of troubled times, stability can never be controlled by one's own control. The protagonists in the story first met during the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and stepped into the center of power together all the way. It suddenly dawned on them: the fireworks in the rivers and lakes and the power struggle in the temples have always been intertwined and cannot be separated.
The full text begins with a family dispute, and follows the ups and downs of the family towards the end. It is an imaginary ancient style, inspired by the five surnames and seven families of the Tang Dynasty. It only borrows surnames and place of origin. The plot and characters are completely independent and do not correspond to real history.
World view setting: Taiyuan Wang family, Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, and Xingyang Zheng family. The Li family in Longxi has the blood of the royal family and its foundation originated from the border; the Li family in Zhao County is rooted in the capital and is the head of the seven families. It has the longest inheritance, rich connections and resources, and is rich enough to not look up to the royal family.
It contains a light suspenseful detective line, but the overall story is slow and heavy with foreshadowing. The long-term narrative of group portraits focuses on human relationships, destiny, family pull, family games and two-way bonds. It is suitable for readers who are willing to read the long-term foreshadowing carefully.
Intention: He who establishes his mind for the heaven and earth is benevolent; he who establishes his destiny for the people is righteous.
