Red Shoes with Embroidered Bones: the Record of Souls Crossing the Qingxi River

Su Lianyue, a girl from Qingxi, was a nineteen-year-old gentle and kind-hearted woman with skillful embroidery skills. She was innocent and harmless all her life. However, she was persecuted by the evil lord Zhao Tianlu, her family was ruined, and she was wronged and fell into the river. A strand of red embroidered shoes with lotus patterns embroidered by a lonely soul has been wandering for several years, with cold water every night, grievances that are difficult to complain, and sufferings that are hard to describe. Gu Yanzhou, a scholar from a poor family, passed through Qingxi and saw that the world was dark and good people were wronged. With his meager body, he defied power, resisted darkness, and braved dangerous situations to reverse the case for a lonely soul, uphold justice in the court, and uphold justice in the world. One person and one soul, yin and yang accompany each other: He sacrificed his life to avenge her and restore her innocence; She traveled thousands of miles for him and protected his future. After the confrontation in the court, the repentance of all the people, the ghost test, and the three-definition case, the evildoers were punished, the corrupt officials were eliminated, and the injustice was finally settled. Su Lianyue's obsession was gone and her body was full of merits. She let go of the ties of worldly love, stepped into reincarnation safely, and headed for a new life in the next life. Gu Yanzhou became famous in the imperial examination. He was honest throughout his life, served as an official and loved the people, and never married. He kept the yin and yang of that year by being pure and righteous for half his life. A pair of red shoes will remain in the ancient town, and a relationship will remain in history. Qingxi flows with water year after year, and the story is passed down from generation to generation, becoming a legend of crossing souls in the south of the Yangtze River through the ages.
