Peony's character is an autistic patient, although she is the daughter of Ling Wangye, she has been living a life of being 'confined by her father' since she was a child because of physical reasons.
However, I like her so much, I like her to be able to live in her own world all the time, and not be bothered by the disturbances outside.
Hua Zhi's grandfather said that Peony had beautiful eyes and was a blessed child.
Before Peony left Ling Wangfu, she was a princess who was locked up in the small courtyard of the palace and was not mentioned by outsiders. Because of her illness, King Ling deliberately blocked the information about his daughter Peony, so Peony is a small transparent existence in the circle of nobles in the capital, and perhaps many people don't know that King Ling has such a daughter as Peony.
In the small courtyard of the palace, the only way to pass the time with peony is to teach himself to become a doctor. No one thought that this eldest lady Peony, who almost didn't speak and refused to communicate with anyone in the palace, was actually a medical genius. Moreover, her 'autistic' personality was not born, but the fire that caused her to lose her mother many years ago left a deep and terrifying psychological shadow on her, and since then she has become timid, easily frightened, and refuses to speak to the people in the palace.
The encounter between Peony and Hua Zhi, the acquaintance, and her stay in the Hua family, this is Peony's deep yearning for free and friendly interpersonal relationships, and it is also the process of her self-redemption.
It is precisely because Peony stayed in the Hua family that she had the opportunity to change from the eldest lady who was poured medicine by the servants every day to 'cure' the disease, to a cheerful girl Peony who diagnosed and cured the pulse of others. The longer she lives in the Hua family, the more cheerful and sunny Peony's personality becomes, although her mind has always been unopened, but at this time Peony looks more like a normal girl. It is a loving family atmosphere and warm care from the surrounding flower family, which slowly opened Peony's long-closed heart, and after she met Shen Huan, Peony has basically returned to the state of a normal girl.
The second son of the Shen family can meet Peony, and he is also a blessed child.
Actually, the character of Shen Huan and Peony have a lot in common. The second son of a rich and noble family lives a life of idleness and freedom every day. It seems that Shen Huan is smart and clever, in fact, he and Peony are very simple people in their hearts, and it is precisely because of this that the two of them like to play happily together, but as long as one has a more mature mind, thinks more about problems, or has a heavier inner desire, there will be no innocence and happiness when they play together.
Peony's love or loss, everything comes from the heart, and she doesn't understand why there are such feelings and emotions. She just knew more and more clearly that if Shen Huan was happy, she would be very happy, and if Shen Huan was not happy, she would not be happy. This is clearly the girl's spring heart, and the love has not yet opened.
And Shen Huan's feelings for peony are gradually generated in getting along and playing, although he is a gentleman, he is not a bad boy, but a little simple and cute. Shen Huan understands love, and the mind of the person he loves is different from ordinary people, and he can empathize with him but doesn't understand this feeling, which is love.
This is one of Shen Huan's pains, if Peony is a girl with rich feelings and normality, maybe Shen Huan will not listen to his parents at all to go on a blind date with the daughter of the Cao family.
Two young men and women who are very simple and in love with each other are also experiencing the pain of being tormented by love and about to be forced to separate. Perhaps this incident is an important opportunity for Peony to wake up emotionally.
When a simple person experiences a 'love calamity', his mind will soar.
The happiest, simplest, and most carefree couple of men and women in the whole play, Shen Huan and Peony, it seems that the first tribulation of the two of them about to mature has come - the tribulation of love.
So, you see, one of the important signs of maturity begins with the experience of 'troubles' and the understanding of 'suffering'.
