She used to be most afraid of going to court, but later she was most afraid of leaving court.

theater:
After the court session, Chen Jinzhao, clutching the jade tablet, tried to leave with his head down, but was quickly stopped by the chief eunuch waiting outside the Golden Palace.
"Your Excellency, the Regent is waiting for you to come and discuss matters. Please come in."
A four-horse carriage was parked where the Grand Eunuch indicated. Other court officials walked around it from a distance, and even when they passed by from afar, they would still bow deeply to show their respect.
The carriage curtains were not lowered, and the person inside sat upright, motionless as a mountain.
A stroke of bad luck, a car crashed into a chaotic world. Zhu Guanyu opened his eyes again, a malnourished orphan serving as a servant in a Shanghai family. His name remained unchanged, and before him was a spoiled seven-year-old young master, behind him was the ruthless underworld of the Republican era. A tenth-degree martial artist, a master gone wild. Gunfire and strength coexisted, and suits and long gowns danced together. Fortunately, he had a rather unwieldy "attribute panel." The promises of investment in a previous life became the foundation of his survival in this one. Attribute points? Skill enhancements? How to obtain them... by eating? Starting with cautiousness and scavenging scraps, he made every move with care. Gentleness and humility were his mask, and calculating people's minds were his instinct. He listened, observed, and imitated, always wearing a warm and gentle smile. He treaded the tightrope of interests between warlords, gangs, and foreign powers with precision. "Risk aversion" was his motto, and "information hunger" was his way of survival. He is not one for brute force, seeking only a single strike to kill, or to maximize his gains at the lowest possible cost. This is the path he took from humble servant to the "Smiling King of Hell" behind the scenes. Zhu Guanyu's goal is clear: first, to eat his fill, then to settle the entire world.
This path has many ups and downs. People come, people go.
Jiang Ling did not have the makings of a martial artist. She once felt inferior, but with a heart full of optimism, she sought another path.
In the world on top of the mountain, all she had were her shifu, shijie, and shixiong. When she entered Jianghu, she had to start over from the beginning, and He Xi bursted into her life. This was the first time she had met a foreign woman, and sure enough, she’s as different as the books say. In her ignorance, Jiang Ling did everything with her until she finally started to panic.
⸺ What in the world is wrong with me?
“Don’t avoid me, I grew up on the mountain, and I haven’t seen much of the world.”
From opposing each other across a sea of blood to finally joining hands to walk the same path, Jiang Ling has hated and she has loved.
The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.
Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.
To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.
To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.
The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

From suppressing the rebellion and reducing the power of the princes to relocating the capital and compiling the classics, from conquering the Mongols to venturing to Southeast Asia, I was omnipresent, yet no one knew of my presence. I wielded power in my sleeves, traveling incognito, discreetly! Discreetness is the key to success. A tortuous life, a passive fate, ultimately led to his rise and counterattack. Seemingly a powerless imposter, he reversed his passive life trajectory, creating a new landscape for the entire environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the meticulously planned reforms to reduce the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the decisive relocation of the capital, the internal strife and external rebellions—in all these events, large and small, his shadow could not be erased, his footprints could not be concealed! The early Ming Dynasty was a time of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding turmoil, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, pushing the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did a small figure from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such upheaval, and achieve his own discreet glory?
In the tenth year of Tianbao, the heroic emperor Gao Yang played the hip-bone pipa and sang by himself. The accompaniment was bizarre, absurd, terrifying, desperate and painful.
That year, Liu Taozi, who lived by the Zhang River, caught some fish, and the story began.

"Under the Sky" tells the story of an unprecedented era of martial arts: imperial power has long since vanished, knights-errant are licensed to practice, enemies are killed according to the rules, and the former rules of the martial arts world have all evolved into laws. However, why are chivalry, justice, and the hearts of the people gradually fading away...?

And the one who slew the Mirage Lord in the great battle was none other than Tian Quan herself.
