Zhu Fengchun was born into a family of military commanders and blessed with extraordinary talent. From childhood, she was the center of attention.
Everyone thought she would rise smoothly through the ranks on the battlefield and become another undefeated legend.
But no one expected that after she officially joined the army, she would take a thorny path fraught with controversy for the sake of a mere guard.
Those who loved her would brave fire and water for her;
those who hated her nearly wanted to tear her limb from limb.
With a spear in one hand and wine in the other, she laughed and sang.
Later, whenever people spoke of her, they would recall not only her history-making achievements, but also these eight words: persuading the rebellious to submit, teaching a son to kill his father.
#From the Pride of Heaven to Rebellion Against Authority
“Zhu Fengchun possessed both a simple, humane spirit and exceptional military prowess. She was the pinnacle of Chinese military art in the twelfth century. Her military ability forced a ruler bent on preserving his reign to make strategic concessions; it also forced the scholar-officials who upheld old morality to devote tremendous energy to fending off her attacks, thereby creating room for new art and literature to flourish.
“Her bloodstained spear shattered the sturdy barrier of old morality, allowing new ideas to take root and thrive in this land. From then on, Chinese history turned a new page and entered a new era.”
Zhu Fengchun and the Cultural Turning Point of the Twelfth Century

Please Don't Take the Original Story Seriously
The genius sword cultivator Xie Zhengrong has a dream in which she finds herself in a third-rate romance tale. In the story, the gifted male lead mistakes someone else for his first love, falls to demonic ways, wipes out the righteous alliance led by her, and destroys the entire cultivation world.
When she wakes, the cultivation world is just as it was the day before. She performs a flying-sword technique and sets off for the mortal realm to save the people.
The simplest solution is to nip the tragedy in the bud.
She finds the unremarkable village, rescues the male lead from a group of children bullying him, gives him clothes and food, then takes him to the future first love whose fate in the story is full of hardship. “The girl up ahead will be your first love in the future. In three months, she'll save your life. Remember her face, and don't mistake her for someone else.”
Several months later, the two of them join her sect and become her junior brother and junior sister. As she carefully teaches them, she thinks she has changed the future.
But at some point, her junior brother's gaze toward her grows strangely intense.
“Senior Sister, a dream is a dream, and I am me. The person in your dream couldn't even tell who he loved. Don't lump me together with a fool who's blind in both heart and eyes.”
* The heroine is the foremost sword cultivator. After joining the sect, the male lead studies alchemy and talismans, supporting her with consumables and spirit stones.
* The junior sister is the heroine's closest confidante, and there is no romantic storyline of any kind between her and the male lead.
Theme: Resist patriarchal clan systems
The Neo-Confucian scholar Cheng Hao had a little daughter who was smart and eager to learn since she was a child. Although she had not received a systematic education, she could understand the meaning of the text by herself under the influence of her ears and eyes. Cheng Hao's younger brother Cheng Yi valued this niece very much and wanted to help her find a husband who was worthy of her, but he never found one. Finally, until she died of illness at the age of twenty-five, she remained unmarried. When she was seriously ill, Cheng Yi thought that she had always liked moral principles and wanted to tell her about them. She asked, why didn't you teach me before? Now that I am in a coma, I will never have the chance to practice these moral principles. Many people regretted that she was not married, but Cheng Yi said otherwise. He hated her for dying, but not for not getting married.
This paragraph comes from Akira Kurosawa's film "Seven Samurai".
Oh my god, I thought it was the richest man Huang Shang or something like that, but I didn't expect it to be a princess! Well, now that the two of you have reunited, success in seizing the direct lineage is just around the corner.
Before he could finish talking, he saw the beaten man in the distance, changing his clothes, holding a simple knife in his hand, and leading thirty or twenty bankers behind him, all of whom were famous men. How did you meet? It is called: Long Wang San, short Li Si, urgent three thousand, slow eight hundred, dung on the fence, maggots in the excrement, worms in the rice, farts in the rice, thorns on the birds, sand Xiaosheng, wood companion brother, beef tendon, etc. ——"Water Margin" Chapter 32
The author of the admonishment is the Emperor of Shu during the Five Dynasties period. The full text is as follows: I think of my innocent son, and I have food and clothing at night. I entrusted the commander to raise Huisui. There are three differences in government, and the road lies in seven threads. It is the principle to drive away the chickens, and it is the rule to keep the calves. If you are generous and fierce, your customs can be changed. No order to invade, no sores. The people below are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully. Endowment is public, and military affairs are endowments. My rewards and punishments will not be overdue. Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people. Parents of the people should never be unkind. Mian Er Ri Jie, I am thinking carefully. Later, Zhao Guangyi intercepted the sixteen characters "Er salary and salary, the people are rich and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to bully". After Zhu Yuanzhang popularized it, at the latest in the Ming Dynasty, there was a stone with these sixteen characters written on it in every county government. It's a pity that stones can only be stones. People at that time said sarcastically: Your salary and salary are just not enough. The people below are easy to bully and they will be caught. How can you know that it is difficult for God to bully him?

It is written in "The Mourning Book of Empress Zetian" that the thunder is its force, the sun and the moon are its writing. When Cui Rong wrote the mourning book, he thought hard and finished with the last word. By the way, this is also the origin of Su Rong's name.
