Leng Qingqiu, a commoner, married Jin Yanxi, the son of the Prime Minister, which is a phoenix nirvana. Her free love with Jin Yanxi envied many people, and she was as happy as a princess.
When Jin Yanxi chased Leng Qingqiu for the first time, he sent three gifts, silks and satins, shoes tickets and necklaces, all of which were sent to Ling Qingxin's hands. Leng Qingqiu, faced with such an expensive gift from a man, knew it was wrong, but she couldn't overcome her inner vanity and finally accepted it all.
However, they have only been married for a year, and it seems that they have been married for a thousand years. Once that innocent little girl has become a wife and an adult mother, once that girl with a faint smile on her face has been drowned by sadness and tears, once that happy bride has been heartbroken in marriage, once loving couples have turned against each other, once their love nest has been destroyed by fire, and she and Jin Yanxi have also merged into the torrent and struggled forward in their respective life trajectories.
Leng Qingqiu's tragedy is not so much caused by scum as the result of Ling's three irreconcilable personalities: vanity, inferiority and lofty. In the days when Leng Qingqiu and Jin Yanxi were together, at different stages, one of these three personalities was very prominent and even paranoid, which was the root of her tragedy.
