During the Republic of China, a young lady returned from studying abroad and an actress kept by her father, a warlord.
Gu Han loved to play with her neighbor's opera singer brother since she was a child. A young lady from a wealthy family learned how to be a good opera singer. At the age of eighteen, her family fell into decline. In order to make a living, Gu Han stepped onto the stage that she had always wanted to do. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In her first scene on stage, Gu Han was spotted by the newly appointed commander and took her home to be her fourteenth concubine.
The bird in the golden cage had a high fever on the first night of her wedding. She had been seriously ill for several months, and it was just when the commander-in-chief was out. Gu Han, a concubine who did not live up to her name, usually only sang songs and raised flowers. She was not pampered, but she could live a good life. But after staying at that home for less than half a year, the handsome daughter returned from studying abroad, and Gu Han's peaceful life was completely shattered.
This grumpy eldest lady always seemed to have a straight face. Every day when Gu Han went to the courtyard to water the flowers and take a walk, she would always pop out from nowhere and give Gu Han a big or small gift. It was difficult to be a concubine, and Gu Han did not dare to go against this ancestor. Everything went according to her. As time went by, it seemed that some things were different.
The fourteenth aunt of the Qiu family had the eldest daughter taking care of her, and her life was much more comfortable. She thought it could continue like this, but on a rainy night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Han heard her "daughter's" voice with her own ears.
Aunt? Ha, I don't recognize such a young aunt, Gu Han, wouldn't you be my sister? I like my sister, especially Xiangjun (one of the characters in Peach Blossom Fan). I wonder if I can be your sweetheart?
