Synopsis
Frost begins in September, and autumn brings evil to the world. This is the season when all things wither, and it is also the prologue to the end of the chess game. The Liang Dynasty was prosperous on the surface, but it was decayed on the inside. Shen Yanqing, the daughter of the Taifu, was originally a famous lady, but after her family was brutally purged for the crime of "collaboration with the enemy and treason", she was thrown into the Jiaofang Department and fell from the clouds into the mud. After three years of forbearance, she took advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace and became an inconspicuous female official in the imperial court. Everyone in the world said that she was as gentle as frost, but only she knew that the pen hidden in her sleeve was dipped in blood instead of ink. The emperor is ignorant, sycophant ministers are in power, and the prince's seizure of heir apparent has become increasingly fierce. Shen Yanqing originally wanted to use the hands of the third prince Xiao Zhi to overturn the case, but unexpectedly, this seemingly idle and desolate prince was actually a dark dragon dormant in the abyss. He saw through her disguise, promised her a kingdom as a chessboard, and invited her to play a decisive game together. From the harem to the court, from the salt and iron case to the border beacons, Shen Yanqing stirred up the world as a weak woman. She worked step by step, leading her enemy to a dead end; he looked on coldly, but blocked her fatal blow at the critical moment. However, when the truth is revealed, the man behind the scenes points to the most unlikely person. In this scheming Shura field, should we work together, or should we hide behind each other? After the frost sequence, comes the cold winter. But if two people stand side by side, frost and snow can turn into spring water. "Frost" tells not only a history of revenge, but also a gamble about trust and ambition. In this game, the bet is on the world and the people's hearts. Purpose: "Preface to Frost" attempts to break out of the traditional framework of "revenge love" and explore how a woman who has lost the protection of her family can transform her status as a "tool" into the capital of a "chess player" under the absolute rules of a patriarchal society. The frost sequence is not only a node of time sequence, but also a symbol of "chilling" and "precipitation". The purpose of this book is: the real breakthrough is not to use violence to fight violence with destruction, but to still dare to establish order on the ruins after seeing through the dirty nature of power. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is not about attachment and favor, but about two sober souls fulfilling each other on the edge of the cliff - she uses his power to clear up her grievances, and he uses her wisdom to subvert the world, ultimately pointing to a political symbiosis based on common ideals that transcends gender and love.
