The red candle burned out, and the tears of the candle piled up into a hill. Liu Yueying opened her eyes and saw the golden dragon pattern on the top of the tent looming in the darkness. She thought of her mother's words, Liu Xueyan's tearful eyes, Aunt Zhang's melon seeds, Tongyun's three taels of broken silver, the instructions in her elder sister's letter, and the half-embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief she had hidden at the bottom of her makeup box.
She didn't know what the future would bring, she only knew that at this moment, her tears were salty and her heart was empty. Outside the window, the snow stopped, and it seemed that the sky would never get bright again.
Liu Yueying turned over, holding the corner of the quilt with her fingertips, and had a small thought in her heart, like a plum bud on top of the snow, quietly emerging.
"Perhaps there are other ways for women to live in this world?"
However, before she could figure it out, she fell into sleep.
Purpose: This is a novel that describes how women achieve self-growth, how they help each other, how they break old rules and regulations, and how they subvert the decadent idea of male superiority and female inferiority in an era where men are superior to women.
