"Farewell Night in Chang'an" tells the undercurrent under the lights of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Pei Jingxuan, the failed son, was trapped in Chang'an and wrote a book called "Chang'an Menghua Lu" to record the glory of the prosperous times. However, he was persecuted by Cui Sirong, the prime minister's minion, because he refused to cling to the powerful. One night during a heavy rainstorm, he ran into Qiong Niang, a concubine who was hiding in a brothel. He learned that she had become a "national pipa player" and was even involved in the conspiracy of a powerful man to show off his beauty.
In order to protect her brother, Qiong Niang went back and forth between Prince Shou's Mansion and Cui Sirong; in order to save her sister, Pei Jingxuan was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination and was sentenced to Qiu Jue. On the execution ground, Qiong Niang holds the hand of King Shou to rob the execution ground, and the brother and sister join forces to break out. In the end, they used their pipa and hidden arrows to fight their way out and sailed away, leaving behind an elegy of a prosperous age on the eve of troubled times.
Many years later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, but their stories and writings became the last remnants of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Intention: The prosperous age is about to fall, and brothers and sisters are of the same mind. In the whirlpool of power and intrigue, he adheres to his literary character and composes a tragic elegy about protection and redemption on the eve of troubled times.
