[Old saying + Evenly matched + Defying fate and changing fate] For ten taels of silver, Jiang Zhi was sold into a brothel by his own mother. What does a brothel do? She doesn't know, she only knows that here, she can have enough food and clothing, this is a good place! But this place has never been a safe haven, but a man-eating quagmire. In the late Qing Dynasty, a lady from an official family beat a pillar and begged for death. The courtesan Zhihuan passed away hiding her blood and tears. The tenderness of the madam was all calculated, and the favor of the benefactor was all used. In this Lichun Courtyard, countless women's bones are buried under the music and singing every night... But aren't prostitutes human beings too? From ignorance to sobriety and clarity, Jiang Zhi saw through that men were unreliable and their dignity was worthless. Caught in the struggle for imperial power, some people made her a pawn, some wanted to destroy her for life, but some also tried their best to protect her. She refused to accept her fate, took every step of the way, stuck to her true heart in the quagmire, struggled to survive in the dust, and finally found a way out!
