In the Dajing court, the royal gates are hidden deep, and the undercurrents are surging under the prosperous age.
Mu Li, the great general who ruled the country, hid under the iron clothes as a woman and built the Great Wall in the wind and snow in northern Xinjiang. However, he could not escape the oppression of the court and returned to the capital seriously injured. Bai Liyue, the legitimate daughter of the left prime minister, was unwilling to be imprisoned in a boudoir. She borrowed the thousands of books hidden by the general and lay dormant for two years, vowing to break the thousand-year etiquette with pen and ink.
A marriage that started out of helplessness tied two shackled women to the cusp of the storm. One puts on red makeup in court and shakes the world; the other sheds blood on the battlefield at the border to guard the mountains and rivers and guard peace.
From treating each other as guests to being polite to each other, from arriving at the same destination through different paths to soul resonance. They are each other's trump card and guard this broken mountain and river together. Look at these troubled times, red makeup can also bring peace to the world, and iron clothes can also protect the wind and moon.
Purpose: Break the feudal shackles of "a woman's lack of talent is virtue" and reshape women's diverse values. Through the completely different growth paths of the two female protagonists - one holding the sword to protect the mountains and rivers, the other shaking the world with the pen, the work explores how women in a patriarchal society break through gender barriers and realize the unity of self-aspiration and social value. It aims to convey that a woman's beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in her character; a woman's aspirations are not limited to her inner house, but can also stabilize her country.
