Shen Zhiwei, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family in Shanghai, lives in the blood curse of a century-old incest marriage.
The marriage of three generations of aunts allowed the Shen family to firmly hold on to wealth and power, but it also made the women in the family fall victim to generations: the great-grandmother was trapped in the attic and went mad until she died, the aunt fell to her death from a building, and the mother ended her life due to hereditary hysteria. And she has carried a recessive disease-causing gene since birth, and is the family's next marriage bargaining chip to be sacrificed.
A forced business marriage became the match that lit the fuse. Under extreme mental stress, Shen Zhi suffered an acute attack of micro-hysteria and fell into a nested fantasy world.
From an ordinary cleaner in an old alley, to a powerful capital helmsman, to the sixteen-year-old summer who can change her destiny, she broke through the illusion time and time again and tried to escape, but found that every layer of dreams hid her desire for freedom, her fear of fate, and the man Lu Zeyan who was always with her.
The boundary between fantasy and reality is gradually blurring, and the redemption she thought may be a deeper prison. And this confrontation across dreams and reality is, from beginning to end, a desperate battle between her and the fate of her bloodline.
Purpose: Based on the blood tragedy of the Shen family's century-old incest marriage, through the heroine Shen Zhiwei's experience of falling into a multi-layered fantasy due to hereditary hysteria, it criticizes the conspiracy between feudal clans and capital to discipline and devour women, and reveals that "monopolizing power by blood will eventually be overtaken by natural genetic laws". At the same time, it de-stigmatizes and de-stigmatizes mental illness from a professional clinical perspective, and explores the individual's fateful predicament, even in the face of irreversible innate shackles, but still retains the awareness and courage to choose life and face reality.
