The idea: paper windows, bamboo couches, a single painting, plant a few proud flowers, a yard before death and a hill after death, that's enough. ——Ming Dynasty Zhu Zaiyu One day I accidentally learned about the life story of Zhu Zaiyu, the crown prince of Prince Zheng Gong, and was deeply inspired. The contents of the novel are all based on my imagination. In order to respect the sages, I changed my name to Zhu Zaiyu. If you read this novel, you want to get to know the real Zhu Zaiyu in history. This is the purpose of my writing - I don't want such a character to be submerged in the torrent of history.
