Hush, listen to me tell a story, a magnificent and desolate tale of prosperity, love, hatred, and the cruel dance of power and destiny... In the realm of eternal illusions, where the greedy wolf breaks the seal, an otherworldly dream takes shape in the mortal realm. It is a dream of the Tang Dynasty's golden age, a dream where the night is adorned with vibrant red outfits, and melodies of flutes and songs drift through the air, bewitching and enchanting. In this realm of mortals, life is but a fleeting dream. As the night falls and lanterns light up, the hazy and chaotic red mansions come to life. The curtains are thick, and shadows fill the rooms, laughter and joy reverberating through the air. In the quiet moments of the past, forged by karmic forces, love and hate, resentment and ridicule intertwine. Who gambles their steadfastness on whose promises? And who will forever lose someone in the void? Destiny had long been written in the stars, and trapped beasts fight in their cages. In the end, all that remains is the emptiness, where broken wells and crumbling walls are nothing but illusions, a fading dream... Note: This story revolves around Princess Taiping, Emperor Li Longji, and the corrupt official Gao Lishi, as well as Li Dan and Shangguan Wan'er, with other characters playing supporting roles.
