Everyone in the world knows that the deep palace is unparalleled in beauty, but they don't know that within the hundred-foot red wall, you can't help yourself.
Fu Zhiwei, the concubine of the Hou family, entered the palace at a young age. She had a clear and gentle heart, and firmly believed that good and evil in the world have their own destiny, and that there is a basis for friendship. When I first stepped onto the jade steps of the Qiong Tower, I saw all the grace, etiquette, and everything in the world. I thought this palace was a prosperous place with strict rules. Unexpectedly, the wind and moon were gentle and silent, and there were endless chess games hidden in the brocade.
The years in the deep palace last for a long time, and the undercurrent quietly arises. She saw with her own eyes that innocence turned into weakness, good intentions caused trouble, sincerity was compromised by trade-offs, and warmth and loyalty were shattered by the overall situation. In the Forbidden City, there are never outright evil people, only those trapped by family, status, imperial power, and the times.
The lonely emperor was trapped in his power, the dignity of the middle palace was trapped in etiquette, and the glory of the concubines was trapped in obsession. Everyone has difficulties, every step is a trade-off, half a life's calculations are all about survival, and all kinds of alienation are scars.
After experiencing the ups and downs of human relationships, the ups and downs of love and hate, and the gatherings and separations of life and death, Fu Zhiwei faded away from the vanity of his youth, never lost his anger, and only cultivated clear compassion. Finally, it is clear that there is no winner in the deep palace game. No one deliberately does evil, but everyone cannot escape the shackles; no one is willing to perish, but everyone is trapped in fate.
The palace walls remain the same year after year, and the wind and moon are light and long. She keeps her true nature and gentleness, and at the end of the prosperity, she understands the quietest destiny and regret in the world.
Purpose: There are never evil people in the deep palace, and there are no winners. Only the strict system, family fate and the overall situation of imperial power silently worked hard for generations of caged women. This article takes Fu Zhiwei's complete mental transformation as the main line, and writes the gentle and cruel truth of human nature under the feudal palace. She started out with sincerity and kindness, believing that everything in the world would be settled and people would be warm; she finally gained compassion and understood that all living beings are in trouble and making choices is difficult. All calculations are not sinister, but survival in desperate situations; all indifference is not heartlessness, but scars to protect oneself; all love and hate are not obsessions, but involuntary. The story reveals the cruel truth of the chess game of power in the trivial daily life and silent games: no one deliberately does evil, no one escapes intact, prosperity is gone, everything is empty, this is the silent fateful tragedy in the deep palace.
