Synopsis
"Chang'an Lost Dream" tells the story of Lin Wei, an intern specializing in cultural relic restoration, who accidentally traveled to Chang'an City during the Zhenguan period due to a fragment of a grape-patterned silver sachet from the Tang Dynasty. She carries a secret that spans thousands of years. The half piece of glass in her hand is not only a token of time travel, but also hides the secrets about the strange events in the East Palace. Lin Wei, who had just entered the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was struggling in an unfamiliar time and space. Fortunately, he was rescued by Pei Xuan, the grandson of Pei Ju, the young minister of Dali Temple, and temporarily lived in Pei's mansion. However, under the seemingly peaceful sojourn life, there are undercurrents - the secret exchanges between the Pei Mansion and the East Palace, the suspicion of stolen tributes from the Persian Mansion, the dispute over the throne between Prince Li Chengqian and Wei King Li Tai, all gradually unfolded due to her arrival and the mysterious glass. When the glass fragments were put together to reveal the secret text "East Palace Wants to Rebellion", Lin Wei was forced to get involved in this whirlpool of power. She knows the direction of history, but is trapped in the struggle of "whether changing history will lead to greater disasters"; she and Pei Xuan go from suspicion to trust, and in the turbulent court disputes, they must not only protect the Pei family from overthrowing, but also try to find a glimmer of hope for the characters who are doomed to tragedy without deviating from the main line of history. From Hu Shang's wine shop in the West Market to the secret study room of Pei Mansion, from the pressing step by step in the East Palace to the power game in the imperial palace, Lin Wei used modern knowledge and historical literacy as his blade to navigate through the prosperity and crisis of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Not only does she want to find a way back to the future, but she also wants to explore the choices and meanings of individuals in the torrent of the times in this fetter that spans thousands of years, and finally leave her own "Chang'an Lost Dream" in the dust of history. Purpose: Using modern souls who strayed into the turmoil of the prosperous Tang Dynasty as a mirror to explore the struggles and choices of individuals in the torrent of history - when knowing the trajectory of fate, whether to follow the torrent and protect the present, or try to rewrite it with the power of glimmers of light. In the end, in the interrogation of "historical necessity" and "individual contingency", the common tenacity and warmth of human nature in every era are revealed.
