Synopsis
Lu Huo was the daughter of the second wife of the Lu family, a prominent family in Lingzhou, Jiangnan. She was known as the most beautiful woman in Lingzhou and was extremely beautiful. After losing her mother at the age of eight, she was brought back to the Lu family by her father Lu Qian. Although she reluctantly got the title of fourth lady, her aunt Qin did not tolerate her and sent her to the Lu family's villa on Qingyan Mountain on the grounds of being unlucky. Under the care and upbringing of his mother's confidant Zhao La, Lu Huo was content with the situation and did not feel sorry for himself. By chance, he had a good relationship with Master Kongjian of Qingjue Temple, which was just across the wall from him and studied Buddhism. Five years later, the old lady of the Lu family came to pay homage to the Buddha. She met the second-brother's granddaughter who was raised in another courtyard for the first time. She turned out to be extremely beautiful and elegant. She treated people and things with proper etiquette. She had the appearance of everyone. She felt compassion in her heart, so she took Lu Huo back to the Lu Mansion and raised her in her courtyard to accompany her. Lu Nian, the legitimate daughter of the Lu family's eldest family, was given to marry Yun Wangshu, the prince of Nan'an. Lu Huo's aunt, the Qin family, was jealous of the eldest family and hated Mrs. Lu and Lu Huo. She intended to set up Lu Huo to have a physical relationship with Yun Wangshu, the prince of Nan'an, and ruin his reputation. The sound was used to drive a wedge between Mrs. Lu and the eldest brother of the Lu family... Lu Huo was poisoned by love and felt suspicious in his heart. He pulled out the hairpin and stuck it into his fingertips, gaining a moment of clarity to figure out how to break the situation... He had to find a strong enough backer, and he couldn't let the mermaid be exploited... When he was living in poverty in another courtyard, Lu Huo once asked Madam Zhao what the meaning of his name was. Madam Zhao stopped the loom in her hand and smiled lovingly: "This is the word that the young lady chose for the young lady. The young lady often said that there are many confusions in the world and few solutions. Don't be obsessed with seeking results. Confusion is in your heart, and confusion is not a bad thing." At that time, the young Lu Huo smiled, but murmured in his heart, if he was confused, why didn't he ask the teacher to solve his doubts? It was clearly read in the book, "If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, it will be confused and you will not be able to understand it."... How tiring it will be to be confused all your life... Later, she understood that to resolve doubts, a thought, like a dream or an illusion, whether it was the joy of enlightenment or the endless confusion, all required making a choice. The choice can only be made by oneself. Follow the teacher to resolve temporary confusion; follow yourself to enjoy peace of mind. Intention: From a wisteria that takes advantage of the situation, it grows into a towering tree that allows people to enjoy the shade.
