In the thirteenth year of Jinghe's reign, civil servants formed cliques, eunuchs had overwhelming power, and the emperor was in name only.
Pei Huaizhou, the powerful eunuch, used the name of a loving father to adopt adopted sons and daughters, and imprisoned countless orphans in Pei's mansion. They are protected openly, but secretly trained as soldiers to die. Only by stepping on corpses can they survive.
Zhu Wanning and her sister Zhu Jiuxi were adopted by the Pei Mansion during a famine. They lost their freedom, fought in the Pei Mansion, and were imprisoned in the palm of their hands all their lives.
Meng Xun is the orphan of General Meng Jing, who was unjustly killed in battle. General Meng was framed by a combination of foreign ministers and traitors, and his loyal soul was buried at the border. Before his death, he entrusted himself to the doctor Ye Song. Meng Xun changed his name and surname, keeping a low profile, just to one day clear his father's wrongdoing.
A carefully laid conspiracy led to the fate of the dead girl and the innocent orphan.
In the precarious Dajing, the two of them held each other's hands and groped in the darkness, stepped into the snow, dug up the truth about the bones, and embarked on a never-ending journey home.
Intention: It's hard to bury your bones when you are buried in the wind and snow, but your bones are cold and you will keep your true heart for the rest of your life.
