Ling Zhici

In the north, the ethics and education are strict, and the clan system is like a dense network to trap the people. Shen Lingzhi, the only daughter of the Shen family in Changzhou, has outstanding talent, beauty and good character. She held all the inheritance rights of the Shen family's land and became a family sacrifice. A group of sanctimonious relatives, all with their own hidden agendas, teamed up to set up a deadly marriage scam. Using the title of their head wife as bait, they secretly colluded with Yangzhou businessman Song Weifu, reached a private deal with a large sum of money, and embezzled all the Shen family's ancestral property. The boudoir's precepts bind the body, and the father's love binds the hands. The only father who loved her was pedantic in nature. He was frightened by the clan rules and rural discussions, gave in step by step, and personally pushed his daughter into a cage of ten thousand feet. They went to Yangzhou to get married, but their illusory marriage was shattered. Under the bright engagement, it was all a dirty plan to sell themselves off at a discount. She filed a complaint, but the government accepted bribes and the law was tilted. She longed to return to her hometown, but she found herself in the desperate situation of being expelled from her clan, having her family property divided, and having her biological father imprisoned. Betrayal by close relatives, bullying by merchants, crushing etiquette and harsh treatment by the world. On a torrential rainy night, Shen Lingzhi tore up the mask of gentleness, fled to the world with all the evidence, and became the traitor girl hunted by the entire government, bearing the stigma of elopement. The world reviled her for her immorality, but no one knew that she was cruelly betrayed by her relatives. Ever since she lived in a secluded boudoir in the south of the Yangtze River and lived in the streets of Jinling, she has grown up in the mud and tempered her bones. Using the law as a blade and the human heart as a chess piece, she single-handedly conquered the three great mountains of officials, merchants and clans. She defended her grievances in court, stirred up internal strife among her tribe, and bucked the odds to break fate. The secular discipline of women is trapped in marriage and dependence throughout their lives, but Shen Lingzhi insists on breaking through the wall. Not attached to the clan, not attached to the husband, not obsessed with glitz, but holding the bones as branches, breaking through the shackles of the world, and writing his own beautiful life with his own hands. Intention: When family ties and ethics are shackles, women can also earn their own destiny by themselves.
