During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Jiafu in Beijing was a large family with great wealth and influence. In Jiafu, there is a bizarre marriage story, that is, Qin Keqing, an outstanding beauty at that time, chose to marry the elderly Jia Zhen. Complex factors such as love, power, and money are involved in this story.
Qin Keqing is young and beautiful, which amazes everyone who has seen her. Her beauty not only fascinated others, but also became a burden to herself. She was often chased, praised, and even envied and slandered. Despite this, Qin Keqing still lives a bright and lonely life.
One day, Qin Keqing was favored by Jia Zhen, who was the elder of the Jia family, an old man who was close to the age of six. Despite the age difference, Qin Keqing was attracted by Jia Zhen's power, status, and wealth, and Jia Zhen also admired Qin Keqing's beauty and achievements.
So the two held a wedding, which seemed to be a combination of power and wealth, but it was also praised as a chicken leg and a strategy to get rich around the fireplace. Their combination also made the whole capital hotly discuss the matter of the rich and wealthy.
However, Qin Keqing then discovered that in addition to the age gap between her husband and herself, there was more deception and hypocrisy. Although Jia Zhen did her best to wrap her in a layer of gold and jade, allowing her to live a comfortable life, these material comforts could not balance the emptiness and loneliness of her soul.
As time passed, Qin Keqing found that her life became more hollow. She realizes the huge difference between her material comforts and her spiritual needs, and what she needs is human care, warm companionship, and true love. However, Jia Zhen's feelings for her are only sloppy and perfunctory, and his care and love for her is more nominal.
After a long period of time, Qin Keqing began to have her own thoughts, she thought that her marriage to Jia Zhen was not what she wanted. She longs for more freedom and independence, and also for finding someone who truly loves her. Therefore, she finally left Jia Zhen when she couldn't stand the boring and lonely days.
Leaving Jia Zhen, Qin Keqing started her new life, she had more opportunities, and the dance parties and parties among various celebrities in the capital were flooded. She found that there was little relationship between love and order, and met and fell in love with Li Ziyang
