She was originally a concubine of low status, named Shuyi, who managed to survive in the Dai Mansion, which was deeply bound by feudal ethics, and prayed for a ray of light in the darkness. In 1679 AD, coinciding with the general election, she accidentally became a pawn of the late Queen Hesheli's remnant lineage. She was recommended by the late Queen to enter the palace and help the Hesheli Group overthrow the eldest brother of the current dynasty - Aisin Gioro Yinti. On the day she entered the palace, the mountains and rivers were shattered, which seemed to take care of her uncontrollable life. As a chess piece, you can only keep completing tasks to have any hope of not being wiped out. Therefore, she was forced to abandon friendship and kill her loved ones. In order to get rid of the pain, she changed her mind and changed her name to Ying Lian.
Red walls, yellow tiles, carved beams and painted buildings surround the bleak sky in all directions. In a place of right and wrong like the harem, even if there is no light and shadow of swords, a bloody storm can occur in an instant. The various forces in the palace were like wild beasts killing each other in the darkness, never ending. She was like a butterfly entangled in a spider web and pulled into the abyss, stuck in a quagmire and unable to escape, with threats and inducements following her at all times. In addition to her misery, she secretly fell in love with Yin Ti, whom she tried to murder. Power, love, reputation, family and honor... When the glory is declining, everything becomes an unsolved mystery.
Purpose: By describing the rise and fall of the heroine Dai Yinglian and many other heroines in Kangxi's harem, it reveals the misery of women's lives in the palace in the feudal era and the true meaning of human nature.
