"Wu Wang Ke's mother is the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty."
This is a name that has been erased from history books but really existed. This is a forgotten history. This is the blood and tears behind the prosperous age.
Those who have been crushed by power, those pains that history books refuse to record, those degrading lives.
She watched with cold eyes as the new dynasty inherited the legacy of the old dynasty and tampered with the memories of the old dynasty; she witnessed the wise monarchs and ministers of the Zhenguan rule, and also recorded the murderous lies in the hotbed of power.
This is not her love story, this is the secret of how a prosperous age is born that she has spent her whole life understanding.
Those women buried in history books, Empress Xiao, Princess Nanyang, Princess Yicheng, Empress Changsun, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yinde...
They are not vassals of men! ! !
They are participants and carvers of history, and they are strugglers and seekers of their own destiny.
They themselves are part of history.
When revenge is hopeless and the world collapses, how should a woman define herself and continue to live with scars all over her body?
Li Shimin, there are entire mountains and rivers of the past between you and me.
Intent: A monument to "people in the shadows of history"**
- **While "Zhenguan Politicians" praises the prosperous age**, "The Biography of Concubine Yang" records the blood and tears behind the prosperous age:
- Those who have been crushed by power,
- Those pains that history books refuse to record,
- those "undignified" existences.
History never only belongs to the victors - it also belongs to those who know the truth but are forced to remain silent.
The main plot of this novel can be summarized as follows: how a princess of the former dynasty, who was burdened with a blood feud for the destruction of her country, settled her life beside her enemy and in the deep palace of the new dynasty.
This main line is not "revenge", "palace fighting", or simple "love", but the winner's absolute right to write history, the systematic sacrifice of individuals in the change of power, and the marginal sacrifices and human dilemmas under the expansion of the prosperous age. What I want to reveal is a systemic dilemma, where the glory of the prosperous times relies on the systematic cover-up of part of the truth and the institutionalized oppression of some groups. While power constructs order, it is inevitably accompanied by distortion and alienation of human nature, and no one can completely escape it.
