Moonlight in Yongning Lane remembers that the swarthy-faced girl dipped in sewage and carved the Book of Songs on the bluestone.
It was a cold spring that year, and the horse hooves of Mr. Xie's son crushed her brother's manuscripts to pieces, and the dandy's fruit core left a bloody mark on her forehead. Wei Shu clutched the blood-stained fragments of "Salt and Iron Treatise" and woke up to the sound of thirty-seven households pounding clothes - it turns out that coarse linen clothes soaked in alkaline water can also be used to weave a web that kills gods.
The world ridiculed her for being an ugly girl, but they didn't know that her dark complexion hid a world-famous face; the rich and powerful mocked her for her humble origins, but she didn't realize that the map of the Northern Territory was secretly embroidered in the blood stains on the brocade. When the alkaline water on the talk table washes away the disguise, and the crescent moon scar on the forehead becomes the emperor's sky pattern, those who once spurned her will finally kneel down to pick up the "Chan Yu" prophecy that was crushed by the wheels.
The golden armor of the femme fatale in the palace tightens her lifeline, and the jade cicada worn by childhood sweethearts is shattered in the chess game of power. The puppet emperor she had supported turned against him, but she did not know that the gunpowder fuse under the throne was held in the palm of the purifying eunuch - the young man she once protected behind her was now wearing a python robe that was reviled by thousands of people, and had hidden the betrothal gift of an entire prosperous age in a book of blood.
From Yongning Alley to Jiuchong Palace, she tore apart not only the filth under the fine clothes, but also the "Female Commandments" that had imprisoned women for thousands of years. When the white-washed skirts hang high on the mast of the Shibosi, and the bells of the girls' school ring through the decaying ruins of the ninth grade, the historian trembles and writes down:
"In the first year of Jianing, the sun and the moon shined together. Empress Chanyu used alkaline water as a blade to cut open a dawn belonging to a poor family."
——This country will eventually be washed into its cleanest appearance by her.
