A Dream of Splendor (2022)

In the bustling city of Hangzhou, the resilient Zhao Pan'er runs a quaint teahouse, basking in the joy of her fiancé Ouyang Xu's ascent in the national civil examination. However, her happiness is short-lived as he abandons her, propelling her on a daring journey to the Capital, Bianjing, to reclaim her dignity. Along this brave quest, she becomes the unexpected savior of her dearest friend, Song Yinzhang, tricked into a deceitful marriage, and Sun Sanniang, a despairing woman on the brink of self-destruction due to a wretched marital existence. When word reaches Ouyang Xu of Zhao Pan'er's arrival in the Capital, he concocts numerous schemes to expel her. Undeterred, Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, and Sun Sanniang stand their ground, drawing strength from their shared experiences and grit to transform their modest teahouse into Bianjing's grandest dining establishment. Through their relentless struggle, they encounter trials and tribulations that only further ignite their determination. They emerge triumphant, their small teahouse now a symbol of success and resilience. The journey softens Zhao Pan'er's resentment towards Ouyang Xu, bringing her enlightenment and a profound understanding of life. Simultaneously, she becomes a beacon of hope and empowerment for the downtrodden women of her era, championing their rights and salvation. "A Dream of Splendor" is a remarkable tale of courage, perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of sisterhood in a world that often fails to recognize them.
