Light in the World: Chang'an Dream in Troubled Times

The novel is set in Chang'an in the late Tang Dynasty. It tells the story of Shen Ningshuang, the daughter of the Shen family, who grew up from a "boudoir girl" to a capable leader in troubled times at a time when her country was in turmoil, ethics collapsed, and beliefs were restructured. The work revolves around three core lines: Family and Troubled Times: The Shen family was reduced from a wealthy merchant to a victim in troubled times, reflecting the disintegration of the feudal order; Female awakening and self-rescue: the heroine constantly makes choices among love, power, survival and death, and grows from a "protected person" to a "self-master"; Faith and the human heart: The title of the book "Light in the World" implies that even in the darkest times, human nature and faith are still the only fire. The work weaves love, family, country, ideals and survival into the same narrative network, forming a literary text with both classical depth and modern consciousness.
