An Analysis of the Plot of Celebrating Years

Answer 1

Joy of Life's plot was complicated, involving many relationships and power struggles between the characters.

** 1. Ye Qingmei's Plot **
1. ** The origin of Ye Qingmei's death **
- Ye Qingmei's ability was extraordinary. She helped the Qing Emperor ascend the throne, establish the Ye family's business, accumulate wealth, establish three large workshops and navies, open up overseas trade routes, and establish the Inspection Council. She helped the Qing Kingdom become a powerful country from a small border country. However, her strength made the Li royal family feel fear, especially the Qing Emperor. The Qing Emperor was worried that she would treat him like her own kin. He wanted to recruit her into the harem to be a concubine, but after she was rejected, the conflict intensified.
- The Empress Dowager had once sent Bai Ling because Ye Qingmei had refused to enter the harem. Ye Qingmei had asked Wu Zhu to send Bai Ling back and hang it on the Empress Dowager's bed. This action had intensified the conflict. Ye Qingmei later wrote a letter of peace to the Qing Emperor, but it was seen by the Qing Emperor as a provocation to the royal family. Thus, the Qing Emperor plotted the Taiping Courtyard murder case and killed her.
2. ** Ye Qingmei's will **
- The letter she had written to Wu Zhu had the content of the omen of death and mentioned the matter of borrowing seeds. Through this letter, Fan Xian learned that his biological father might be the Qing Emperor. She had also summarized her life.
- The letter to Fan Xian revealed the origin of the world and its unsolved mysteries, such as the experiment of freezing human memory data, the fact that zhenqi was nuclear radiation, and so on. Fan Xian learned that he was an experimental subject of memory data.
- The letter to the Qing Emperor was a letter of peace, but it became the fuse of her death. The contents of the letter were only known to Fan Xian after the Qing Emperor died.

** 2. Li Yunrui's Plot **
1. ** The beginning of darkness **
- Li Yunrui admired Ye Qingmei at first, but when Ye Qingmei supported the Qing Emperor, she killed her father, causing her love to turn into hatred. After Ye Qingmei was killed by the Qing Emperor, Li Yunrui had no hope of revenge. She turned her target to the Qing Emperor and professed her love to him, but he rejected her.
2. ** Further blackening **
- After being rejected, she turned her target to power. First, she married Minister Lin. After failing to achieve her goal, she placed her chips on the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. She even had incest with the Crown Prince and colluded with the Second Prince. For the sake of power, she fell into madness and ignored ethics. In the end, she ended up in a tragic end.

** 3. Fan Xian's related plot (partially involved)**
- Fan Xian and Wu Zhu sneaked into the Royal Palace to steal the key and open the box Ye Qingmei had left behind. They saw the letters Ye Qingmei had given Wu Zhu and him, and gradually uncovered the secrets of their birth and the world.

** 4. Plot related to the Empress Dowager **
- The empress dowager played a role in Fan Xian and Lin Wan 'er's marriage. The Eldest Princess begged the Empress Dowager to reject the marriage. The Empress Dowager was brooding over the scandal between the Eldest Princess and Minister Lin and did not want her granddaughter to repeat the same mistake. She also stood on the Qing Emperor's side and supported the marriage. The Empress stood on the Eldest Princess 'side and wanted to change the Empress Dowager's mind, but the Empress Dowager was determined. The Empress Dowager in the original novel was ruthless and shrewd, which was different from the image in the TV series.
