Salt Frost Tears: Merchant Girl Hate

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Shuangning, the daughter of a Yangzhou salt merchant, grew up surrounded by the fragrance of salt, but she did not know how much blood and filth lay behind the fragrance. When her father was involved in a salt administration corruption case, she was forced to become a bargaining chip in political deals and married the son of the salt inspector as a concubine. From the young lady of a salt merchant to the plaything in a deep house, from fine clothes and fine food to the destruction of her family, she spent her sixteen years of life witnessing how feudal ethics crush all a woman's dreams. This is a story about salt, blood, and tears, as well as a legend about how women struggle in the face of fate, how they compromise, and how they finally choose to die with dignity.
