After ten years of freezing cold in the deep palace of Daqi, the abandoned princess Li Qiwu was trapped in the Jingxin Garden. She was covered in dust from the golden branches and endured step by step, hoping to find some innocence for her wronged mother and concubine.
She is innocent and kind, and firmly believes in the justice of the world and the tenderness of her king and father. But there is no mercy in the palace. Su Linghua arranged a series of killings, and the emperor abandoned her son step by step. She and Xiao Jinheng, the hostage of the subjugated country, were both the most despicable people who abandoned their lives under the high wall.
When he was seven years old, the country was broken and he was taken as a hostage. For seven years, he was humiliated in the palace. His dignity was crushed to the bone. He lay dormant and endured, holding up the only glimmer of light for her in the muddy darkness. The two sent messages across the wall, side by side in desperate situations, and were each other's only support for the rest of their lives.
She traveled all over the world to collect evidence, peeling back layers of dusty old cases, and finally discovered the shocking truth: the mother-in-law did not die unjustly, but died voluntarily, in exchange for a stigma that she would live for ten years.
Troubled times set a prairie fire, and the imperial power collapsed. She raised the flag for the people of the world to overthrow the old dynasty, clear away thousands of injustices in the world, change the law, rectify the Qing Dynasty, and save the people.
God can change the world, but fate cannot be changed.
Xiao Jinheng spent half of his life, burned his bones and blood, and burned up his fortune. Li Qiwu explored love, hate, good and evil, and cleared all the wrongs, but he remained alone for the rest of his life, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with nowhere to go.
Purpose: To criticize the world's ills under the feudal imperial power, in which the powerful disregard human lives, while the people at the bottom die anonymously, and their grievances are difficult to redress.
