When Ming Di first came down the mountain, she was still a high-spirited chivalrous girl.
A bully raped a common girl? Save!
A widow being bullied? Save!
The beggar was beaten up? Save!
The robbers stole a thousand pieces of gold? Save!
However, this time she ran into a tough situation. Breaking into the bandits' den single-handedly resulted in being trapped in a sea of people and unable to move. She and Qianjin almost went to see the Lord of Hell together.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a knight who claimed to be her senior brother jumped out and rescued them from the bandits' den.
Ming Di has never met this senior brother, but the senior brother said firmly: "I hugged you when you were a child!"
Ming Di looked left and right: Senior brother has handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, and a calm temperament. He does look familiar. Then I remembered that during the fight, my senior brother's moves were indeed carved out of the same mold as mine.
She nodded and recognized this senior brother.
Seeing her undefended look, she followed her down the mountain secretly because she was worried about her disciple. She shaved her beard so that the disciple could not recognize her. She had to pretend that he was her senior brother. Her true identity was that she was both a father and a mother. The master who raised her gritted his teeth: This little fool, he was sold and helped count the money!

Ever since Ming Di saved Qian Jin, his life has suddenly taken a big turn.
She saw that aristocratic families colluded with eunuchs, that rich ladies were given to eunuchs in exchange for official positions, that ordinary people could not afford to eat, and that their sons and daughters were sold as slaves, that their fertile land was seized by high-ranking officials, and that farmers had no way to make a living, so they had to sell themselves as servants of high-ranking officials...
The world is dark and the people are in dire straits.
She gritted her teeth and saved a thousand pieces of gold, a village of farmers, a state of people, and half of the country.
On the day she ascended the throne as emperor, she looked back and realized that she had traveled such a long distance with a lonely heart.
Note: The title of this article "Common Man's Sword" comes from "Zhuangzi: Swordsmanship": "There are swords for the emperor, there are swords for the princes, and there are swords for the common people."
The knight-errant heroine ascends the throne holding a commoner's sword, and the commoner's sword transforms into the emperor's sword, hence the name "Commoner's Sword".
Purpose: Born in the lower class to care for the lower class and establish a destiny for all living beings
