Just as the title says, this is about the years when God shut the door on someone.
Background:
The Chengyun era,
a time that champions equality between men and women.
But society is still ordered by the traditional hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, while the wealthy and commoners remain worlds apart.
In recent years, however, people have been promoting lifelong monogamy,
and distinctions between legitimate and concubine-born children have gradually blurred.
Everyone is pairing off for life,
because although taking concubines is not illegal at this time, it is shameful.
A time when social ranks are not terribly rigid,
but neither are the people especially honest,
and there are still those willing to speak up for justice.
A time that is not entirely upright,
but beneath its murky waters the fish grow fat,
and even amid chaos, there is order.
Ling Zhen,
an unlucky soul knocked unconscious by the murky waters.
Author's note:
This probably isn't a wish-fulfillment story.
It's about personal growth.
The setting isn't based on much research. I'll gradually write the things I want to write.
I also hope to flesh out the side plots.
Theme: Everyone deserves a world of their own.
