A modern orphan lost in the Western Shu of the Five Dynasties is drawn by a “past-life bond” to become the “Lady of the Hibiscus,” showered with imperial favor in the harem. She becomes a femme fatale, adrift in a sea of passion and desire.
A dashing king stumbles upon the woman destined for him in a music house. For her, he forsakes his three thousand beauties and even risks losing his kingdom for love. A young, chivalrous nobleman becomes obsessed with her, abandons the martial world, severs ties with his family, and gives up love, all to remain true to his feelings for her. Does the conqueror who founded a dynasty seek to rule the world for ambition, or simply for a woman in another man's harem?
Deep devotion, obsessive passion, hurt, and scheming: all that remains of their devotion is this song, “A Thousand Years of Tears: Lady of the Hibiscus”...
Here are the wars and upheavals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the glorious cultural history of Later Shu, the exceptionally beautiful and talented Lady of the Hibiscus, Meng Chang, the Shu ruler forgotten by history yet burdened with the grief of a fallen kingdom, the great man of imperial history, Emperor Taizu of Song, and the love and entanglements lost in the river of time.

The reason why I have such a high love for this work is mainly because I have spent twelve years exploring the peerless songs of Meng Baoyuan and Mrs. Huarui. However, some of the works I have seen now, such as "How Much Sorrow Can You Have" and other works, mostly do not have a good ending. Every time I read it carefully, I cry for a long time. It can be said that because of Baoyuan and Mrs. Huarui, I was able to persevere in those unforgettable and difficult days and four years of college. When I participated in the Chinese Poetry Conference in Liaocheng in college, during the "Feihua Order" session, the judge teacher asked me to use the word "king". When I was writing the topic, I recited the poem "Poem on the Subjugation of the Country" which has been passed down through the ages: "The flag is lowered on the king's city, but how can I know that my concubine is in the palace? One hundred and forty thousand people were all disarmed, and not one of them was a man." Later, when I held activities in the Chinese Studies Society, the first class I taught was Mrs. Huarui. Moreover, history is written by the victors, and I never think that Baoyuan is a foolish king, whether it is the prosperous era of Guangzheng with "three coins for a fight of rice", or the bravery of killing the rebel generals Li Renhan and Zhang Ye at the snap of a finger, from the "Huajian Collection" that has been handed down to this day to the "Guangzheng Stone Classic", from the Tea Mountain Song Festival in Qingcheng to "Bing Jade Bones are clear without sweat, the water palace" The warmth of "The wind blows and the fragrance is warm", from the dedication to the people in "The Edict to Encourage Farming and Mulberry" to the sincere teachings in "Issue of Orders", such a wise and wise king is not a faint king who was smeared by the unofficial history. In the same Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasties have long been boiling with public resentment. If Baoyuan is a faint king, then why does Shuwangtan exist? Therefore, I also secretly hope that future generations can give Baoyuan and Mrs. Huarui an enviable ending. By the way, I wrote a few lyrics. I thought it might be God's sympathy for this legendary song. The first one is Nangong Ci: the most outstanding saint in the world, with literary talent, martial arts and refined skills. The mountains and rivers are green and the bamboos are green, and a bucket of rice weighs three cents. He supervises hundreds of thousands of soldiers and kills heroes with a snap of his fingers. Hibiscus Changchunzhe, Maharaja Palace. Chongguang Qujiang boat, water pavilion pepper mud. If you don't confuse Yan Caoting, spring water patterns will appear. The water of Baiyan River is green, and the beloved is moved by nostalgia. The water flow is like Nongchou, the only common difficulty is hardship. The battle between bow and horse has not ended yet, and I am thinking about the moonlight alone. Second. Nostalgia for the past in Furong Tower: Qin sings, Huai dances, being a prisoner of Chu, the misty rain and pear blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River are sad. The Southern Dynasty has been sad for thousands of years. How many provocations can make people stay? Third, Man Gong Autumn·Mourning: The mountains and rivers are beautiful, how many songs and music can endure the flood? The dragon pond protects the willows, and the millions of brave men make people rest. Flowers cover the grass and light phoenixes in the attic. There are hundreds of thousands of swords with silver hooks. The dream of the North has lasted for thousands of years, and the black hair has traveled thirty million miles. The sound of the horse's flying swallows and the flute flow, and the beautiful branches of the jade trees are embarrassing. Brocade hat and fur, Pingzhangshou, family, country and the world will be hard to stay. Partridges and doves, thousands of princes, heroes are rewarded with great ambitions. After Menghua passed away, how many songs and songs remained? Thousands of villages are silent. The residual blood is bent like a rotten silver hook. The desolate smoke fills the day, and the iron cavalry tramples Jiu Tongzhou. Protecting the country for thousands of years while making progress, singing a wild song of Furong Tower. The state affairs are still in Nanzhou. How dare you listen to the building late at night? With the golden hook, the barbarians plotted, and the great ambitions could no longer flow eastward. Loyal bones are soft, the soil is scratched, and the mountain peach red flowers are all over it. I hope that the author will be able to see it in the future, and I also hope that the author will become rich as soon as possible, and I hope that I will do the same with you.

The writing of this book is not too exciting. Come on, the author. I read it all night long and still couldn't get enough of it. It's as good as Demon Ji Zhantian! ! (Sorry, just to make you laugh and advertise. The popularity of the new book almost makes people doubt life, and those wolves always say that my writing is too girly and suitable for girls. If you like ancient romance and fantasy, you can leave a comment and save it. Thank you very much!)
