Deep Spring in the Brocade Curtain

share time: 2025-11-29 00:35:32

Su Wan, the legitimate daughter of a general, survived the massacre of her entire family by hiding in a dry well—her father had been framed for collaborating with the enemy by a villain. To avenge her family, she changed her name to Xiao Wan and deliberately became a lowly maid in the Regent's Palace, targeting Regent Gu Zhao, the most powerful man in the court, whom she believed was the "mastermind" behind her family's tragedy. But Gu Zhao had long seen through her identity: when she sneaked into his study to find evidence at midnight, he handed her a cloak; when she was bullied by other maids, he quietly transferred the bullies away; he even took a knife for her when an assassin attacked. When Su Wan finally uncovered the truth about her father's injustice, she realized Gu Zhao had been secretly clearing her father's name—those secret letters proving her father's innocence had been kept by Gu Zhao all along. His "dominance over the court" was just to wait for her to let go of hatred, so they could enjoy the deep spring in the brocade curtain and the peace of the world together. In the end, Gu Zhao smiled and handed her the military tally: "The country is yours, and so am I."
