When Qiuqiu met Shen Zi, he was not yet the prince. At that time, he was abandoned by his parents and was hunted down. Qiuqiu only saw in him a desolate state.
She picked up Shen Zi that autumn, and Shen Zi said that he would definitely repay her in the future, as long as he was still alive.
Later, when Shen Zicheng, the current prince, came to see Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu was proposing to marry the butcher from the next village.
Qiuqiu asked Shen Zi why he came back.
Shen Zi said that he invited her to go back and enjoy the glory and wealth, which she deserved.
Later, Qiuqiu followed Shen Zi back. Qiuqiu could never imagine why she, an ordinary village girl, was treated as a guest by the prince of the dynasty, and eventually became his concubine.
Qiuqiu didn't want to be a concubine, she wanted to leave the palace.
The prince refused to let her leave unless he died.
Qiuqiu couldn't let the prince die, so she drank the poisonous wine for him.
Qiuqiu thought, she was finally free.
She no longer has to be pointed out by everyone and said that she is an ugly concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people.
She will always be Qiuqiu of Xinghua Village.

Later, Shen Zi came to Xinghua Village and vowed to level down the entire Xinghua Village to find Qiuqiu's bones. He would take Qiuqiu back and bury them together.
But I didn't expect that the entire tomb was empty and Qiuqiu was not there.
So, she must still be alive.
Intention: Sometimes persistence is not necessarily a good thing
