When Ascending the Phoenix

[Widow keeping her business + strategizing + group portrait] On the day when King Xie Jinning of Yanning died in battle, it snowed for the first time in the capital. Xu Rongque knelt in front of the soul and burned paper money all night. She was once a woman who was pampered by her husband, and thought that in this life she only needed to be a caged bird who was content in the inner house. But he died. Her uncle came to her house, waiting to share the property left by her husband. She walked into Jinghai Hall with a knife in her pocket and made a blood oath - "I will never remarry in this life, and I will never leave Prince Yanning's Mansion." The imperial edict was issued, causing their family to bear the infamy of sinners throughout the ages. She carried the snow and walked to the Dengwen drum and beat the drum with all her strength. The caged bird escapes from the cage and has to face the cold arrows of the dark night. This is the price of spreading your wings. And she wants everyone to know that even a bird in a cage can take advantage of the wind and spread its wings. From then on, no matter how much pain she suffered, she would fly farther and better.
