A peerless beauty was born into a humble family. Her father died when she was eight, leaving her alone and helpless. Brilliant and quick-witted, she stood up for what was right. She shaved her head and entered the Imperial Enlightenment Temple, where she chanted prayers and struck the wooden fish, never once suffering the daily hard labor in the temple courtyard. Upon reaching adulthood, she angrily left the temple. Wearing a bamboo hat and a straw rain cape, she traveled the world. In those troubled times, the common people could barely survive, and misery was everywhere. Her heart filled with sorrow. Heroes cherished one another, yet hated to part. After ten years of wandering, she returned to Fengyang. She had meant to go home and visit her family, but was unlucky enough to be bullied by soldiers at the city gate. Forced into the military camp of the Guo family army, she joined the ranks of the horse grooms. As she led a horse back to its stable in the army camp, she overheard villains plotting. With a clever plan, she saved the marshal, and from then on earned his deep trust. She rose steadily through the ranks, winning outstanding merit in battle and gathering people to her side. She defied convention for no one's sake but the common people's, so they might live in peace.
