His leap thousands of years ago made a festival of great significance. The drifting apart of monarchs and ministers caused a country to go from prosperity to decline, and he became a victim of the sycophant's struggle for power. Is it the misfortune of the times or destiny?
She comes from a thousand years later. When Qu Yuan's ideas and cognition are subverted by her time and time again, how will he choose when the historical tragedy of dying in sorrow and dying for his country is repeated again...
Many people think that Qu Yuan was slandered by court officials because of his poor popularity, or that he was too pedantic, or... Actually, no, it is not that simple. The government of Chu State was too decadent. Qu Yuan was at the point where Chu State was turning from strong to weak (Qu Yuan's reforms that benefited the people and the country threatened the interests of the public and nobles). King Huai was confused by the slanderous ministers (Southern Empress Zheng Xiu, Ling Yin Zijiao) , Shangguan official Jin Shang, Gong Zilan) were bullied by the powerful Qin (Zhang Yi destroyed the alliance of the six countries and united with the Chu state to slander the relationship between the monarch and his ministers). King Huai wavered between alliance and non-alliance, going back on his word and angering the other five states. Therefore, the Chu state was attacked and other countries took advantage of the situation. This is a huge blow to a patriot.
This novel aims to rectify Qu Yuan's name. Everyone who reads Qu Yuan's works and understands that period of history will have a different understanding of Qu Yuan. I hope that through my own understanding and imagination, I can bring you a different Qu Yuan. So I dare not call this a historical novel!
