Half a Copper Coin

The sixteenth year of the Republic of China, the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Shen Mingyuan, a young man from Peking University who has been away from home for five years, returns to the Shen family mansion in Qingping County. What awaits him is a shocking incident in which the bride suddenly dies at his cousin's wedding and the wedding hall becomes a funeral hall overnight. Before his death, his seriously ill father Shen Bo'an revealed the truth: for the past three years, his second uncle Shen Zhongping secretly poisoned the medicine and colluded with the Gu family to set up a marriage and murder bureau with the sole purpose of taking over the entire Shen family's property. Shen Mingyuan and his fiancée Lin Wanqing joined hands to secretly collect irrefutable evidence such as account books, medicinal residues, and secret letters in the crisis-ridden mansion. At the same time, another story unfolds quietly in the shadow of the deep mansion - the orphan girl Cui'er bought by the Gu family, the honest and honest long-term worker A'fu, and the disfigured laundry servant Yun Niang. The blood and tears of the three lower-class people are entangled, revealing the past of a copper coin split in half eighteen years ago. From Qingping County to the provincial capital, from coffin autopsy to court battle, the game between justice and evil has escalated. When half a copper coin finally merges into one, the fate of two women with the same name "Wanqing" intersects, and a love and hatred spanning two generations comes to an end in the light of red candles and tears. "Half a Copper Coin" uses the Republic of China as the curtain and the house door as the mirror, reflecting the greed and kindness of human nature and telling a Chinese story about truth, redemption and love.
