At first, Li Qingzhao's first half life had to be enviable. She was in her prime for half a century, accompanied by poetry, calligraphy and painting, and her beloved husband, Zhao Mingcheng, which was a double harvest in her love career. She and Zhao Mingcheng are congenial, which is a match made in heaven. Their lives are also quite happy, drinking some wine, writing some poems and being carefree every day. However, Li Qingzhao lived in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and wars continued. This kind of life will eventually come to an end because of the invasion of 8 Jin Army.
Then, a national event changed Li Qingzhao's life. After the shame of Jingkang, Zhao Mingcheng died, leaving everything to Li Qingzhao, and her escape life gradually began. Wandering around and drifting from place to place is the most tragic experience of Li Qingzhao's life. The second half of life is too heavy and desperate for a woman like Li Qingzhao. Later, Li Qingzhao went into exile in Lin 'an and married the hypocritical Zhang Ruzhou. Soon after marriage, the man showed his true colors.
In the end, the purpose of Zhang Ruzhou's marriage to Li Qingzhao, who is wandering around, is obvious. He wanted to get the ancient literature compiled by Li Qingzhao, and even got into a fight with Li Qingzhao because he couldn't get what he wanted. Out of contempt for a woman, Zhang Ruzhou also exposed his cheating in the imperial examination. Having such a partner is detrimental to Li Qingzhao's integrity and insulting her life, so in the end, Li Qingzhao would rather go to jail than sue Zhang Ruzhou to the government and ask for a divorce.
To sum up, Li Qingzhao's life is like a book, full of prosperity and sadness, but her integrity and talent have made countless people applaud her.
