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.
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.
