Wen Zhuo, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, was used as a pawn by the family and forced to marry half a hundred high-ranking officials to fill their houses.
Before the wedding, she broke the engagement jade given to her in public, severed the engagement, and escaped from the Hou Mansion overnight with only a set of carving knives.
Living in the city streets of the capital, she relied on her unique skill in carving jade to make a living. Not only could she identify and repair jade, she could also decipher the secrets hidden in the lines of jade carvings.
Pursuits by the marquis, frame-ups by peers, and coercion by powerful men followed one after another. Xiao Yanci, the owner of the jade shop, and her started trading interests, testing each other and dealing with each other.
She didn't want to be a boudoir girl who was at the mercy of others. She held a carving knife in her hand and used jade as the blade to carve out her own way of life.
Purpose: Women should not be reduced to bargaining chips for family interests. Even if they are in trouble, they can break away from the shackles with their skills, stick to their hearts, and control their own destiny by their own abilities.
