Mind Your Manners

Rumor has it that Su Zijing, the beloved daughter of Chancellor Su, is breathtakingly beautiful. Suitors flock to the chancellor's residence, and there are even lecherous men hoping to catch a glimpse of her. But before they can even enter the courtyard, Su Zijing's "mute" guard gives them a thorough beating. Everyone at the chancellor's residence knows the mute only obeys Su Zijing. Though the guard is fair-skinned, lacks any trace of manliness, and cannot speak, they are absolutely ruthless when they fight. The lecherous man, now sporting a bruised and swollen face, can only beg for mercy. Only then does the beauty inside the room speak calmly: "Mind your manners." The emperor hears of this beauty at court and issues an imperial decree ordering Chancellor Su to present his daughter as a consort, with the investiture ceremony to be held on an auspicious day. Everyone knows that the emperor is a dissolute and incompetent ruler. They say most women who enter his harem are tortured to death by his perverse tastes. Su Zijing would rather die than comply, so the emperor has Chancellor Su beaten with a staff before all the officials at court. Seeing her father on the brink of death, Su Zijing, responsible for the lives of everyone in the residence, has no choice but to agree through her tears. But when she turns around, she realizes she has no one she can rely on. Even the guard who was once inseparable from her has left. On the day of the investiture ceremony, rebel forces storm the imperial city. The mute guard from the chancellor's residence reveals herself as a princess of the former dynasty. Leading her army in a relentless advance, she storms the palace and cuts down the tyrant. Stepping over the dead emperor's body, she climbs onto the high platform. The first thing she says when she sees Su Zijing again is: "You said that if nothing stood between us, you'd marry me. Do you still mean it?" . Theme: .
