Features: This book spans over one million words and is hailed as the "Dream of the Red Chamber of the 20th Century." The story follows the tragic love and marriage of Jin Yanyi, the son of the Premier of the Beiyang Cabinet, and Qingqiu, a delicate and poor woman, as its main thread. It depicts the decadent and declining life of feudal aristocratic families, with their rivalries among wives and concubines and the of their children, revealing the darkness and transformation of human nature in a complex environment. It is like a history of the rise and fall of a noble family during turbulent times. A heart-wrenching love story and a heartbreaking epic written by the "master of popular literature," Mr. Zhang Henshu! The work was immediately celebrated as the "New Dream of the Red Chamber" upon its birth. A television series adapted from the novel, starring popular actors such as Chen Kun, Dong Jie, and Xu Lu, is set to premiere on CCTV's prime time slot. Our hearts will once again return to the 1920s, a decade of turmoil and instability, where everything teetered on the brink of collapse and reconstruction: on one side, Jin Yanyi, the son of the Beiyang warlord cabinet premier, and on the other, a pure and impoverished woman. Under the oppressive shadow of feudalism, their love was like a tiny grass sprouting in a desert, struggling to survive, yet all their efforts were utterly crushed in the vast silence.
