In December of the 34th year of Chongyang, the Empress Dowager Wenxi passed away and passed the throne of the new emperor to Chongyang's nephew Xiao Yi. The following year, the reign name was changed to Daotong. Only three years later, uprisings broke out in various places. The provisional government of civil organizations negotiated peace with the current government. Xiao Yi issued an abdication edict, and Dalin was destroyed. At this point, the last generation of the old dynasty, which had grown from prosperity to decline, collapsed and was wiped out in the torrent of history.
But our story begins during the three years of the puppet regime of the last emperor. In the turbulent capital, there were internal and external troubles, and the crumbling royal power had already shown irreversible decline. The old and new political forces were changing on the stage, leaving a story for future generations to write in history. And the little people in the marketplace at the foot of the imperial city are also living their lives on the same trajectory as this legendary era of rapid changes.
This story tells the love-hate entanglement between Zhou Lanyi, a famous actor in the capital, Cai Youmei, a musician who has returned from studying in the West, and Lin Yuting, a powerful warlord general.
Purpose: Describe the fate of small people in the context of a big era
