The Princess and the Sword

Historical records state that in the fifth year of Dayong, Empress Pei died of grief after Emperor Yong took a consort. The Pei clan resented Emperor Yong and raised an army in rebellion. The entire clan was imprisoned and executed. The ministers who pleaded for the Pei clan were either executed or exiled. The year Xuan Hui was born, the land was in turmoil. Her mother was born into a family of generals and was a brave, formidable warrior. Not long after giving birth, she donned her armor and led her troops to conquer the land for Dayong, then yielded the throne to her beloved husband. But what did her mother get in return? A body ruined by war, a heart's devotion betrayed, and her entire clan executed... As torrential rain poured down, eleven-year-old Xuan Hui knelt before the palace hall, pleading for the Pei clan. Her father, who had always "doted" on her, remained unmoved. After a serious illness, she awoke to find everything changed. Xuan Hui climbed to the top of a tower, the autumn wind whipping around her. Just as she stepped toward the edge, someone called out to her. "Big Sister, would you like some candy?" A little girl, as pretty as a doll, wore ill-fitting clothes and two little buns in her hair. She held out a packet of broken candies. At that moment, Xuan Hui suddenly felt that she was not the one who deserved to die. The ones who had taken all her loved ones from her were the ones who deserved to die.
