The Gu family has been neutral for generations and never gets involved in the fight for the crown prince. But living in the Jingzhao dynasty, which eats people without spitting out their bones, there is no room for truly staying out of the matter.
My father secretly observed for several years and finally selected the fifth prince. The other princes were either arrogant or cruel, but he alone had the potential to become a wise king.
"Dad, do you really want to push your daughter into that whirlpool?" She once asked.
Father Gu closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Nanny, dad doesn't want to. But if I don't tie you to the fifth prince, dad is afraid that one day I won't be able to protect you."
Gu's mother held her hand, tears falling on the back of it: "Mom, I only want you to be safe, and don't ask for anything else..."
But the Gu family's ship has already been pushed to the forefront.
She came through the book and knew all the major points in the original work - including the fact that her brother would die to save the fifth prince.
So she made a decision that shocked her whole family: she wanted to learn martial arts.
"You're a good girl, what kind of martial arts should you learn?!" Father Gu was so angry that his beard trembled.
"My daughter has her own plans." She lowered her eyes, her tone calm but unquestionable.
Day after day in the practice room, I gained scars on my body and calluses on my hands. Father Gu looked at his daughter's face that was getting thinner but more determined, and finally sighed and acquiesced.
Later, she intercepted the fatal secret letter and rode alone to the place of ambush.
When the blade was about to fall, she stood in front of the fifth prince.
"Why are you here?" The fifth prince was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
She sheathed her sword and smiled lightly.
When the news spread back to the house, Mother Gu clutched the letter that her daughter was safe and sound, and tears fell down her cheeks. Father Gu sat on the Taishi chair and let out a long breath.
"Daughters are no worse than boys." The eldest brother of the Gu family said.
Father Gu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "She did it."
She saved her brother and changed the fate of the Gu family. But the gears of fate never stopped turning - what she didn't know was that from the moment she clenched the sword in her hand, the fate of another person was quietly entangled with hers.
