Wei Zi is afraid of her father.

The first part of the play begins with Wei Zi's coming to Beijing to recognize his relatives. She comes from Daming Lake in Jinan, and her mother is Xia. When the emperor visited incognito, they became attached to her and fell in love. The emperor returned to the palace and promised that he would come back to marry her. Xia Xin believed it, but it was eighteen years ago! After Emperor Wu left, Xia was born. She firmly believes that her lover will come back for her. Unfortunately, she waited for 18 years, and she couldn't wait any longer. She didn't see her former lover.

Before he died, Xia sold his fortune and insisted on going to Beijing to find his father. Isn't that weird? She was willing to wait for eighteen years, and she was silent for eighteen years. In that case, why not find a good family to marry Wei Zi and insist that she go to Beijing? Doesn't she know that this road is dangerous? How dangerous it is for a girl who has no hands to tie her chicken feet to be in such a hurry to recognize her relatives! What does Xia think of all this?

Xia has never been married, so a young girl got pregnant before marriage. It was a no-no at that time. It is not hard to imagine that the eighteen years in summer were not easy! She and her children have to endure the contempt of people around them every day. In the eyes of others, she is a disorderly person, and her family even wants to turn against her, but she has always believed in waiting for her love! Children grow up, and daughters are beautiful, generous and sensible. If she was born in a normal family, she would certainly find a good husband's family, but her mother has a stain. With such a stain, how can Wei Zi find a good family? Xia doesn't want to wronged her children, so she would rather go through hardships to find her relatives!

In addition, to enter Beijing, we must not only find her father, but also find the promise that we have kept for 18 years. Xia's heart has been firm all his life, but in the end, the person who made the promise did not appear, and Xia's heart shook. She wants to ask that person, do you remember a summer waiting for him by Daming Lake? She can endure the sins of these eighteen years, but she can't accept the betrayal of her beloved. She won't say anything! She can't wait for his reply in her life. She must ask him face to face. See that? Ungrateful person? How to answer! This is the biggest expectation of an infatuated woman's life, and it is also the answer that a gentle woman tries her best to wait for. She wants her daughter to prove that she doesn't love the wrong person, and her father is a good man worth waiting for!
