Shen Changning

Seventeen years old (fourteen at the beginning of the chapter, seventeen when entering Beijing), the daughter of Shen Mingzhang. He stayed in the nunnery for ten years as a mourner for his grandmother and was isolated from the world. However, during these ten years, he read history books and developed a calm, careful and decisive character. She is not a "big heroine" in the traditional sense - there is no golden finger, no romance from heaven, and no omnipotent backer. What she has are a few letters left by her father, an anonymous contract left by her mother, and a determination not to bow down in desperate situations. Her weapon is not martial arts or power, but - the human heart read in history books "I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that my father's death will be in vain."
