The Female Puppeteer of Baixi Opera

Main plot: Shen Yuan uses puppet theater to help lower-class people reverse their crimes. Starting from the village temple fair, he gradually gets involved in the big case of aristocratic families in the capital. The core contradiction: the injustice of feudal law to women and the suppression of family power. Goldfinger: Shen Yuan's puppetry can highly restore the details of the deceased's life, including accent, movements, and scars, becoming key evidence to overturn the case. Ending: Shen Yuan publicly performed an old injustice in the court, forcing the emperor to investigate thoroughly, abolish unfair laws, and the women's puppet theater became a legal business. The story begins with Shen Yuan premiering the puppet show "The Injustice of the Jade Lady" at the Qingshi Town Temple Fair. She successfully drives away the bully, but attracts the attention of the government. She was forced to flee, and along the way she performed continuously in county towns, border passes, and small towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Each performance pointed to an injustice. At the same time, she adopted orphans A Luo, A Xing, and others, and taught them puppet skills. In the middle period, Shen Yuan's theater grew, but she was pursued by the Zhao family, a wealthy family in the capital, because her puppet show gradually approached the Zhao family's old case that framed Zhongliang decades ago. While on the run, Shen Yuan cooperated with the undercover Su Jin, the daughter of a former court official, to collect evidence. Later, Shen Yuan publicly performed "A Hundred Years of Injustice" in Beijing, which directly pointed to the scandal of collusion between the Zhao family and the royal family, causing shock in both the government and the public. In the end, with the support of the people and some honest officials, the emperor ordered a retrial of the old case, and Shen Yuan's theater was allowed to operate legally. She and the orphans became symbols of justice among the people of Daliang. The laws of the Liang Dynasty favored the powerful, and there were many injustices. Shen Yuan, a female puppet show maker, can reproduce the words and deeds of the deceased with her superb puppetry skills. She was entrusted by the people to seek justice for the wronged women in the world.
