In this world, the etiquette is strict, men are superior to women, and women in the world are born under shackles.
They are trapped in a deep house, bound by marriage contracts, and restricted by rules. They depend on their families for honor and disgrace throughout their lives, and obey destiny for half their lives. They have never been qualified to choose their own lives.
Su Jianwei, the legitimate daughter of a famous family, grew up in this rigid set of disciplines. Everyone knows that she is meek, dignified, and abides by etiquette. She is praised by everyone as a lady of the world. A good marriage contract makes her the envy of others. She only waits for her hair to get married and pursue a stable life.
But no one knows that beneath the gentle mask, she is proud and unwilling to surrender to the world.
She devotes herself to herbal medicine and understands the harsh treatment of women in the world. She has never been willing to be reduced to a tool for marriage, and she does not want to let etiquette and law destroy her true heart. She gathered all her edge and settled in silence in the courtyard of the deep house, secretly accumulating strength.
During the long years of imprisonment, three men with different circumstances suddenly broke into her orderly and quiet life in the boudoir, causing ripples, excitement and tension.
Su Jianwei was always sober and clear. She knows very well that etiquette and law are like a mountain, and the world is hard to break. It is rare for a woman to have perfect love and lifelong freedom.
So she didn't ask for Prime Minister Bai's protection, she didn't fight for fame and dignity, she had a great time when they met and parted as fate would.
The brief and casual encounter was her only privacy and freedom in her imprisoned life. She survives the world with gentleness, keeps her true heart with pride, and lives a magnanimous and romantic life that is unique to her despite all the shackles.
Purpose: Women do not need to rely on marriage and men for survival. Their own interests, temperament, and ideals are the foundation of their lives, and independence is their lifelong destination.
