Hua Ming's life began with a cold winter pawn.
The family is in decline, the mother is ill and the father is relegated, and the moral education is as high as a mountain. Everyone knows that this orchid, which grows in the mud, can only see a ray of skylight by climbing on a high branch.
But she didn't.
In the women's school, she played the flute instead of the harp, and shocked the government and the public with her shocking remarks; in the Ministry of Punishment, she peeled off cocoons among old papers, vowing to clear up the grievances. From the secret whispers in the embroidery workshop to the beacon fire in the epidemic area, she quietly weaved a net called the "Mingyue Alliance" to capture women in the world who are unwilling to be defined.
The romantic and uninhibited prince Li Xuan was her only confidant and comrade-in-arms. They once swore under the moon to "not seek morning and evening, but seek unity", and they also reluctantly chose to "put the world first" between the country and their personal love.
When the buried blood feud of the maternal clan and the huge conspiracy to overthrow the dynasty came one after another, when he was handed the Queen's Phoenix Seal on the dragon throne...
Hua Ming cleared away the fog and stood at a fork in the road of fate: to become the wife of one man and be trapped in a deep palace? Or should she dominate the world as a woman and open the door that has been closed for thousands of years for those who come after her?
This is a story about awakening, choice and creation.
The "dark willows" may not only be "bright flowers", it may also be the first fire lit by one's own hands to illuminate the times.
Purpose: Women's self-awakening, growth and resistance in a patriarchal society.
