Huang Chao destroyed the city, and her father pushed her into the secret passage, leaving only one sentence: "Live on." She managed to escape, but was kidnapped by the defeated soldiers, her brocade clothes stained with dust, and turned into a plaything. Fleeing to the inn, she knelt down and begged the passing censor for help, but she only received a cold "Leave quickly and don't disturb the official etiquette", which completely shattered her last illusions about "decency" and "order". Jin Yi is her last dignity. She uses the golden hairpin as a weapon and the Jin Yi as a battle robe. She wanders deep in the Qinling Mountains, waiting for the next person.

In order to maintain the "survival" of the army and the refugees, a large pot was set up in the front yard. The temple is divided into purgatory and pseudo-pure land by a gray wall.
