After crossing to the south from Yongjia, the Jin Dynasty was relatively safe. The north and south were separated, and the homeland of the Central Plains became a distant memory. In turbulent times, ethics and education are strict, and the barriers to family hierarchy are cold and hard to break.
Xie Daoyun, as the legitimate daughter of a top noble family, has been trapped in the triple shackles of family status, etiquette, and times since she was a child, and her destiny has been determined by the world.
She was precocious and wise, and she had the desire to awaken at a young age. She tried to break away from the rules several times, but was unable to defeat the majestic power of the family. All struggles are in vain, only a body of pride always maintains its self-control and refuses to completely surrender to the world.
Her life is a step-by-step journey of third-level awakening.
When he first woke up at the age of five, his body and mind were restrained by the high walls of a deep house. His first resistance to etiquette was a failure. He understood at an early age that freedom was hard to find, and he buried in his heart an obsession that would never be tamed.
When he woke up again at the age of fifteen, at the age of hairpin, the clan did not consult him and made a private marriage to consolidate the power of the clan. As a party involved, she had no choice. The cold rules under the gentle appearance allowed her to completely see through the fate of a high-class woman like a chess piece, and complete her second ideological awakening.
When middle age finally wakes up, the world is in chaos and everyone is drifting with the tide. Sun En's Rebellion overturned the stability of Jiangnan, and Wang Ningzhi died in troubled times.
The drastic changes in her life and death made her fully understand the irreversible trend of the times, give up the futile struggle externally, search for her true heart inwardly, and reconcile with her fate calmly.
From being a passive chess piece of an aristocratic family, she completed self-restraint, resistance and self-transcendence step by step. She broke free from the shackles of female secularity in troubled times and desperate situations, lived in seclusion and gave lectures, and grew up peacefully, creating a unique, cold and tenacious forest character in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Purpose: Based on Xie Daoyun's troubled life, he depicts the fateful shackles and self-awakening of a wealthy woman. Being forbearing and self-sufficient in the cage of etiquette and staying true to one's bones interprets the growth intention of women to turn inward and stick to their true hearts.
