[Highlight: A story about an insignificant underdog taking on the impossible and bringing everything crashing down with him. It has a bad ending, so only read if you can handle that. For those who can't, I've already booked you a rocket. Run! This is a self-indulgent bad-ending story, so proceed with caution!]
Xu Hanzhu was the daughter of a prominent official in the capital. When her father was convicted of a crime, she became Yuzhu, the star courtesan of Xichun House. Seated by the railing, she idly plucked her pipa and glanced toward the street, only to see a spotless young lord from a marquis's household walk into Xichun House. In an instant, a string snapped.
Theme: Even the weak can fight back
I cried, the male and female protagonists are so miserable.
Thank you, I've already got on the rocket and run away.
