In the twilight years of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Chu girl Mi Xin was born in blood and fire, with the birthmark of a young phoenix on her shoulder, hanging between Qin and Chu since she was born. As a childless woman, she married two generations of Qin kings and supported three dynasties of princes. She retreated behind the bamboo curtain to advance, and used softness to overcome strength. She protected the young and raised the tripod in the undercurrent of power and intrigue, and personally planted the soul of Chu into Qin inch by inch. She bid farewell to her sister with poisonous wine, wrapped her adopted son in a Chu robe, and preserved the cultural heritage of the subjugated country in her art workshop—she spent her life guarding the foundation of the empire and burying all her old friends. Throughout her life, she never set foot on Chu land, but she allowed Chu orchid grass to bloom in Qin Palace season after season.
This is a plot, but also a deep feeling; it is an epic of family and country that was poured out with blood and tears by a woman in troubled times, and it is also the eternal echo of "Legalist skeleton, Chu soul flesh and blood" - Chu Lan will not thank you, and the context will be passed down forever.
Purpose: Taking the life of Mi Xin, a woman from the Chu State, as the axis, it writes about the flesh-and-blood entanglement of individual destiny and the ups and downs of family and country in the age of great strife. In the collision between the "Legalist Qin system" and the "Chu soul context", we question the true meaning of civilization's survival - the country can be broken and the law can be established, but the poetry and calligraphy skills, ethical temperature and spiritual charm rooted in the people's hearts are more lasting power than the country. Mi Xin, with her childless body and retreating attitude, protected not only a country in the iron-blooded dynasty, but also the soft roots of a civilization that would not be broken during changes. She taught the world that true strength does not lie in conquering many lands, but in allowing the soul you love to bloom in foreign lands.
