Time is like water, and the sun is setting in troubled times. Some people seek Chang'an for a lifetime, some seek the king's heart and my own, some seek immortality in a prosperous age, some seek the rise and fall of a family name, some seek a thousand-year foundation, some seek to create a precedent for women... What do you want to seek?
(The author is handicapped, so let me introduce a few short plots directly:
Small plot 1
Deep in the prison, a ray of skylight slanted down from a small window high up, and the floating dust danced wildly.
A woman stood against the light, wearing a rouge red gold palace dress with blooming red peonies embroidered on the skirt, lingering on the dirty straw mat.
The woman quietly looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a gray prison uniform: "Do you hate me?"
The eyelashes of the man in prison uniform trembled almost imperceptibly, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and his eyes fell on the heavy iron shackles on his wrists, with dark blood marks on the edges of the shackles. After a while, he replied very calmly: "I owe you this."
"Then you love me?"
"…Empress!"
…
I shouldn't have let her go in the first place, and I wouldn't trust whoever I leave her to.
Small plot 2
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the curtains of the military tent, and the man's stern eyebrows are softened by the light that penetrates the tent. The baby in his arms is wrapped in apricot red brocade swaddling clothes, grinning, waving his hands, and smiling babblingly.
The man stretched out a finger and gently touched the tip of the child's nose. His deep voice was extremely soft: "Why are you so happy today? Huh?"
The baby's black grape-like eyes looked at him, giggling, revealing his pink gums.
"You are smiling so happily." The smile in the man's eyes seemed to be getting deeper. "Do you know that my mother is coming back?"
…
"Good boy Anping, we don't want a mother anymore, we don't want a mother anymore..."
Purpose: Awakening of female consciousness
