Golden Shackles Broken

In the shadow of the glorious Tang Dynasty, the marriage of Cui Lingyi, daughter of the Boling Cui family, was a golden cage. Her mother-in-law Lu Yuanzhen's mean and domineering nature and her husband Zheng Shouren's cowardice and incompetence trampled her dignity and talents as a daughter of a noble family to nothing. In despair, she suddenly realized that relying on her family and husband was futile. She used temple fasting as a cover, relying on her extraordinary wisdom and knowledge that was dismissed as "useless" when she was a girl, to quietly extend her tentacles. From making her first meager profit by deciphering the codes of market prices, to impressing Kang Yantuo, a merchant from the Western Regions, with her accurate knowledge of epigraphy, she gradually ignited a spark in the world outside the wall and rediscovered her buried self-worth. When a sudden change occurred at the border, her husband was captured, and the family faced catastrophe, this housewife, who had always been tolerant, seized the dangerous opportunity thrown by fate. She stepped forward and embarked on the dangerous northwest journey as a special envoy. This trip was not only to save her husband, but also to save myself. She will form an indissoluble bond with the iron-blooded general Li Chongxun in the flames of war, and she will use this crisis as a hammer to completely smash the golden shackles that have bound her for half her life. "The Broken Golden Shackles" is a story about awakening and self-redemption from a desperate situation. It tells the story of how an ancient woman used wisdom as a blade and courage as an armor. She grew from a prisoner in a house to a legend who dominated the business world and shadowed the court. She carved a vast sea and sky for herself in the repressive torrent of the times.
