Yu Qingci was once the most pampered eldest daughter of the Yu family. When she was twelve years old, she chased a cold-faced Jinyi guard across half of the capital. She was bruised all over her body by his sharp swords and ran home crying.
Later, the Yu family collapsed. She went from being the apple of her eye to being a concubine of the Huanyi Bureau. She knelt in the ice water for three months, smoothing all the edges and corners.
Wen Jinyu was entrusted by her brother to redeem her and placed her in the mansion to sort out her late mother's collection of books. She thought it was an old relationship, but she found out later that it was just a casual affair, like an official matter.
When his aunt scolded her, he listened. He watched as the servants bullied her. She received a slap, and he stood beside her without saying a word.
In his eyes, she was a sinner, a trouble, and a tool for repaying kindness. He gave her food and a place to live, which was already the utmost kindness and righteousness. As for whether she will feel pain or cry - that is her own business.
She finally understood that no one would come to save her. The only one who can save her is herself.
She wants to get out of this wall on her own.
This is a story about indifference and awakening, oppression and resistance. She was not reborn after being saved, but stood up on her own after being abandoned.
Intention: When the whole system is telling you "you should bow your head", standing up is the greatest form of resistance. Every slap she received was a microcosm of the world. And every time he remains silent, he is an accomplice to the system. This is not only a story of two people, but also a footnote of an era - men's suffering is a "case" and women's suffering is a "household matter." The law cannot control it, the system cannot control it, and no one will. She doesn't need anyone to save her. She wants to go out on her own and tell everyone who is trapped in the wall: You can stand, you can live, and you don't have to kneel and wait for someone to bend down.
