This is the story of a girl who remained calm, fought against adversity tenaciously and achieved success.
She lost her father when she was young and was raised by her mother who endured hardships.
The hardships of the years transformed my mother from a gentle woman into a violent and irritable woman, and also developed her stoic and silent character.
Her memories of childhood still support her desire for life.
This desire is hers, and it is also a legacy of her parents. It is engraved on her spine and flowing in her blood: she does not seek to be well-known, but only seeks to be clear of guilt.
When she grew up, she was sent to the palace, and her yearning for life turned into a bright dream.
She experienced intrigues in the palace, suffered persecution from intrigues, and often struggled with everything she had done. Finally, under the influence of Emperor Gaozu, she came into contact with the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang, and rediscovered her sincere and passionate nature, but it was difficult for her to win the favor of the emperor.
She is not worried about this. Her life is not just for a man, but she must survive in the palace...
Because she is already pregnant with Ryuko.
The child is another hope that keeps her from giving in to the setbacks. The innocence of a child healed the pain she had suffered for so many years.
In the end, she was saved from Empress Lu's cruel methods of killing the prince, ministers, and the emperor's favorite concubine, and she was reborn as the highly respected Empress Dowager Bo.
Intention: Choose life firmly instead of letting life change you. This is the greatest courage in life.
