In the suburbs of Beijing, the autumn frost stains the bones.
There are two legitimate daughters in Chen Shangshu's mansion: the eldest daughter, Jinqiu, was born to be the perfect candidate for the crown prince and has great honor; the third daughter, Suqiu, although she has the same mother as her, was abandoned in a corner of the house since she was a child, suffering from the cold.
Everyone knows that the golden autumn is like red camellia, and the plain autumn is cold like plum blossoms. During a palace banquet, the prince noticed Su Qiu's talent, and King Su also got a glimpse of his character. When the identity of "the legitimate daughter" becomes a shackle, should she become the crown prince's side concubine or the Su princess? How should Suqiu choose?
This is a history of the withering of twin flowers, and also a tragic song of a girl who lives in a house. When the autumn wind sweeps away all the fallen leaves, whose bones will become the last footnote of this wealthy family?
Purpose: To explore the different survival dilemmas and destiny choices of women in feudal families. Whether it is the bright "Red Camellia" or the cool "White Plum", they cannot escape the shackles of the times. Only by maintaining inner sobriety and tenacity can we find a glimmer of light in a desperate situation, even if the cost is to burn one's body in fire.
