On the day of Wen Shuhe's wedding, the river that had been dry for three years suddenly swelled overnight.
The river god she wanted to marry did not show up, and there was only a marriage certificate in the temple.
It was full of tributes and auspicious words, but her name was the only one that signed it.
Wen Shuhe asked in front of the people in the city:
"Since we are said to be husband and wife, why is his name not on the deed?"
As soon as the words fell, the statue cracked and the river flowed backwards.
An unknown god who had been suppressed for hundreds of years woke up from under the temple and looked down at her wedding dress:
"You are not a bride for the river god."
"You are their new lock."

Lord Huichuan once ruled thousands of mountains and rivers, and once personally submerged three counties to protect six cities.
The dynasty erased his real name and split his authority into twelve parts. From then on, the emperor canonized gods, aristocratic families explained divine will, and people offered incense and bore all the costs not written in the deed.
Now the twelve divine contracts collapsed at the same time.
Lord Huichuan wanted to regain his name and become the master of the mountains and rivers again; but Wen Shuhe discovered one old contract after another——
Mountains and rivers should not belong to the emperor, nor should they belong to gods.
He taught her how to drive the gods, and she taught him how to accept rejection.
Later, everyone in the world knelt down and begged the old god to return to his throne. Only Wen Shuhe stood in front of him and tore up his divine wife contract:
"I am willing to marry you."
"But I can't give living beings to you."

The emotional line is HE, the loss of identity is permanent, and historical guilt is not washed away.
Intent: The legitimacy of power does not come from the power holder being strong or kind enough, but from the fact that everyone who bears the cost has the right to know, refuse and make a new choice.
