Song Zhen traveled to a matriarchal society where women were respected and became the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. Although she was adopted, her status as a legitimate daughter has burdened her with heavy responsibilities since she was a child. From the age of six, she was forced to get up early in the morning to study and receive strict civil and military education. Her life was miserable.
Although the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family had the best food and clothing, Song Zhen always longed to live a life like a salted fish and stay away from involution.
However, reality did not go as she wished. After ascending to the palace, Song Zhen found that not only did she not get rid of the involution, but she became the object of the emperor's jealousy and the "big grievance" stabbed by her colleagues. With the downfall of major aristocratic families, her situation becomes even more difficult, as if she has a thorn in her back, she may be drawn into the vortex of power struggle at any time.
At the same time, the fates of Song Zhen and Chen Zhuo are deeply bound. Chen Zhuo has lived with his father at his grandmother's house since he was a child. Years of living under the shelter of others have made him feel inferior and sensitive. Despite this, he still relied on his own efforts to become the most famous "Chen Xiaolang" in Jingzhao. When he reached the age of marriage, his grandmother thought of recognizing him and returning to the Chen family, but the Chen family fell before he could officially recognize his ancestor. In order not to implicate him on the surface, my grandfather betrothed him to Song Zhen, the most inconspicuous daughter of the Song family among his students, in order to avoid being imprisoned, but in reality he was used to contain Song Zhen.
However, Chen Zhuo's fate was not settled. His grandmother's family was also about to collapse. In order to give himself a chance to survive, Chen Zhuo invited himself to join the Song family as a servant. This invitation made him never want to leave Song Zhen again.
Highlights:
In a matrilineal society, women are respected and women give birth.
The emotional line is pure and sweet, Song Zhen and Chen Zhuo go from being a temporary solution to truly loving each other.
Intention: Face life head on and live well.
