Huangmei Jingmeng: I Am the Heroine of a Wealthy Family in the Republic of China

In the 15th year of the Republic of China, the snow fell terribly. Fang Mengtang knelt on the bluestone of the Cheng family ancestral hall. The blood seeping from his knees dyed the futon dark brown. She had just finished singing "Female Consort" for the seventh time, and her voice was as hoarse as if she had swallowed sand. The female members of the Cheng family sitting in the audience held their handkerchiefs and sneered: "An actor is an actor. If you can't climb a high tree, just pretend to be chaste." She said nothing, only staring at the old osmanthus tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Three days ago, Mrs. Cheng listened to her half of "The Fairy's Match" and brought her from Qilin Pavilion Tea House to Cheng's residence, saying that she would recognize her as her adopted daughter. But the eldest wife, Chen Peilan, put peas in her tea, the second wife, Shen Furong, spread rumors that she was a "suppressor", and the third concubine, Jiang Yuxiu, slandered her for stealing the old lady's treasures, and all the dirty water was poured on her. The wind blew the snow into his collar, and Fang Mengtang suddenly smiled. She touched the playbook "The Female Consort" given by Cheng Jing'an in her arms, and her fingertips rubbed the words on the cover that made her hair tingle - the Cheng family courtyard was a stage, and she was both a singer and a writer. Before the gongs and drums sounded, she sang the play to them.
