Gu Changnian, the Yan Kingdom’s eldest princess and the crown prince’s younger sister, was born with auspicious signs. As the crown prince’s twin, she became the most beloved princess in the entire dynasty. With her brother as heir to the throne, many noblewomen sought to curry favor with her. Gu Changnian herself was warm and eloquent, making her one of the most popular women in their circle.
Then one day, while out, Gu Changnian encountered refugees. She came down with a fever that lasted all day, and when she woke, she said, “So I’m still a child of the proletariat after all.”
After that, her personality changed. The dignified eldest princess who had once been content to stay in her corner suddenly began taking an interest in people’s livelihoods and opening schools. She started mixing with commoners, and even took an interest in the politics of her own fief, fighting for the interests of poor farmers at the bottom of society.
But would anyone in a feudal age really listen to her ideas?
Just how big a wave could one person’s awakening make in this dark era?
When the feudal dynasty she wants to overthrow is ruled by her own family, what does this mean for an eldest princess?
“Maybe my comrades and I can’t change the world just yet. But if even one person hears my voice, if I can awaken even one person, then it will all be worth it.”
“It takes five billion years for the stars to be seen by people, but I don’t need that long. So I’m greater than the stars.”
