Synopsis by someone hopeless at writing blurbs. The actual story is what matters!
The stunningly beautiful Lu Xiangxiang is sold by her own father. Since she's destined to become a concubine either way, what difference does it make where she goes?
She is first sent to the An family estate, but before she's even settled in, a small sedan chair carries her off to the Zhongtang residence.
The moment you enter a noble household, you find yourself in a deep sea, and grand estates are full of trouble. Everyone assumes she's set her sights on Lord Zhongtang, but who could have guessed that the one she fancies is Cheng Biyun, the brilliant businesswoman known as Little Zhuge?
She thought a great tree would offer shelter, but who knew that even a great tree could be uprooted?
Clear every obstacle and forge a path ahead. Fight through danger, then set out once more.
Lu Xiangxiang was born beautiful and came from a family of scholars, but her gambling-addicted father sold her off. Passed from one powerful household to another, she ends up as a maid at the Zhongtang residence.
She thought she would spend her whole life wasting away in the deep sea of a noble household, then quietly marry a servant and fade into obscurity.
But Cheng Biyun is like a ray of light, illuminating her lonely, helpless life.
Lu Xiangxiang has never met anyone so clever and determined. She is content to be a lowly maid, staying by the side of the one she loves and passing the rest of her life with her. But day by day, as they spend time together, Lu Xiangxiang falls deeply in love.
Cheng Biyun carries memories of her previous life. She is domineering and formidable, unmatched in strategy and seemingly able to predict everything. From being the Zhongtang household's Little Zhuge to becoming a noble consort in the imperial palace, she has seen the world's coldness and enjoyed boundless splendor. Nothing can shake her, and the world's chaos cannot disturb her heart.
The currents of the mundane world, a dynasty tottering on the brink of collapse, and the dark depths of human nature have left her weary and disillusioned. Yet for little Lu Xiangxiang, she is willing to stoop down into the dust.
This story is set in a fictional world and is purely made up. Don't argue with me: you're right if you do! If it's not to your taste, please move along!

Theme: Create a beautiful life with your own hard work
The main body of this article is finished, and I may still have a little regret. Some parts were not perfectly presented due to writing problems, but it finally came to a successful conclusion according to the outline. I am very happy to accompany you through this period of time again. Someone in the comments section asked why we have had countless peasant uprisings and the collapse of dynasties in the long history, but there has never been a woman's struggle for women's rights. Now women can receive education, or they have such a little status that is given by the trend of the times and not earned by themselves. I didn't think about how to discuss this issue at that time, so I never responded. Now that the book is finished, I can answer this question with my own superficial knowledge. I think that most women in our nation may not need this kind of power (please note that I said most, not all, you are right.) How can you see it? There is no need to talk far away, let's look through the gold list, look at the novels on the gold list, and see in which direction the money and interests flow, and the result will be clear at a glance. My understanding is that most women are loyal supporters and crazy fans of the feudal hierarchy. They are more feudal than the ancients. How can they resist? That's all a big joke! According to the theory of justice for the main wife, every day they either beat the mistress, clean up the concubines, kill the slaves, or they are weak, beautiful and useless. Do they regard themselves as human beings? Do they treat others as human beings? They just imagine that they have vested interests, equality, justice and freedom, which is ridiculous. Shuangjie, the Shuangjie who clamored in the comment area, although the foot-binding cloth has been released from the feet, it is a pity that it has been wrapped in the brain. Reading can't change anything, and the development of science and technology will not necessarily bring civilization. Take a look at what the fans of "A Dream of Red Mansions" are writing about? Promotion and wealth, economic articles, and good human relations. Just look at how they criticized Qingwen, Siqi, and You Erjie in Dream of Red Mansions, and you will know how feudal they are. If Cao Gong knew something underground, the coffin boards would not be able to hold it down. The Ming Dynasty's "Saving Feng Chen" was more enlightened and advanced than people today. In the "Love Book" adapted from "Saving Feng Chen", in the oil seller's section, what the oil seller said about the oiran: A woman should not have to bear the consequences of this world. You are a miserable person, and you should not take yourself lightly. In his eyes, the courtesan is "as pure and pure as the bright moon." What does the recent "Menghualu" say? Compare it. Professor Wang Defeng said that everyone in our nation is Yuan Shikai. Of course, this statement is a bit absolute. I would add that 80% are Yuan Shikai, just a few more, so that no one will be wronged. Men want to be Yuan Shi/Kai, and women want to marry Yuan Shi/Kai as their wives (more than 80% of them), but there is no such opportunity. In this kind of environment, everyone just wants to be superior, just wants to step on others and be superior. They are all loyal fans of the feudal hierarchy. How can they fight and only work hard to climb up? Sometimes I feel depressed when I look at social media. The screen is full of scoldings for my mother-in-law and beatings for my mistresses. They wield the moral stick like a fish in water. In fact, women do not regard men as human beings, but as tools for wealth and profit-making. They come first, then they occupy, and they occupy the moral high ground. This kind of morality is just a tool for the weak to beg for mercy. You ask these people to fight? How funny! Of course, I am not denying that there are many very smart women. What we are looking at is the base number and the proportion. Men regard women as wealth, and women regard men as tools for profit-making. Everyone is equal, and no one should look down on the other. I'm going too far, and I think what I said is wrong. I'll say whatever I want, and I won't refuse anyone who comes. Speak freely, and it's great to be tolerant.
I really like this passage from Cheng Biyun. The sky is big and the earth is big, and you are free. Even though the Forbidden City has wealth and honor, freedom makes people happier.
Fuzi is so kind, he has a heart and affection, he is not pampered, he understands principles and understands people, he must have a good home. Speaking of which, Lu Xiangxiang was kind to others and planted good karma. No, the good results are coming. Although they are just peach blossoms, it's so funny.
I'm running out of inspiration today. I can't help but feel good about how to write something down. I can't post it on time~
The ending of this chapter is genius.
This book is so well written!! I hope the author will open up new pits!! Especially this kind of antique style, it's great!!!!
The ending is sprinkled with flowers, which is a style of writing that is rarely seen in JJ nowadays. Thank you to the author for coming to Lily District to help the poor. See you again~
It's so beautiful, I can't get enough of it.
