A prophecy threatens to upend everything — a woman of the Wu clan will rule as emperor. As suspicion closes in, you must navigate court politics, ancient superstition, and the terrifying possibility that the prophecy might be about you. Li Chunfeng's wisdom is your only guide, but even his help comes with riddles. The wrong answer at any turn could mean death for you and your entire clan.
Dignity preserved through composure — but at a personal cost
Threatening to involve the Emperor backfires immediately
Self-deprecation defuses the situation without losing face
Branch A: Leaving her leads down a different path
Branch B: Intervention changes the dynamic between you
Patience keeps you alive — acting rashly endangers the entire clan
Organized resistance is treated as conspiracy
Deflecting suspicion by claiming knowledge — a dangerous bluff
An audacious claim that shocks the court into silence
Insulting a court official is a death sentence
Silence is interpreted as an admission of guilt
An emotional plea fails to move a man of science
Historical precedent is not an argument against prophecy
The only argument Li Chunfeng respects — invoking cosmic order
Family loyalty in the darkest hour
The princess's fierce friendship endures
The Ninth Prince's quiet devotion
The ambitious prince's calculating interest
Humility in captivity — you accept her terms
Pride intact but the offer withdrawn
Following the prophecy's thread leads toward the truth
Hunting the puppet master before you are ready ends badly
Too obvious — and wrong
A clever misdirection, but incorrect
The correct answer — the prophecy's true target revealed
The most common cause is the 'Xi Xin's Injury' choice. Both branches (do not interfere and intervene) must be played through to count toward 100% exploration. Many players only complete one branch and miss the other entirely.
Surprisingly, yes. The audacity of the claim shocks the court into momentary paralysis, buying you time. However, this choice has narrative consequences that ripple into later chapters — it marks you as someone willing to claim power, which changes how certain characters perceive you.
The key is to think laterally. The prophecy does not refer to someone literally named Wu — it refers to a general whose name has a feminine character. This is one of the game's trickiest puzzles, and most first-time players get it wrong on their initial playthrough.
