Ancient Lady Survival Manual

Answer 1

In ancient times, noble ladies faced many situations. The following were some of them:

* * 1. Marriage **
1. * * Choosing a spouse **
- For a noble daughter like Meng Jingxian, she loved Guo Junwang. In order to achieve the goal of marriage, she used moral kidnapping and other means to coerce Guo Junwang to marry her. However, this method was also accompanied by risks. This was because she had gotten involved in a relationship that had already been emotionally entangled, and in the end, she ended up in a tragic state.
- Zhang Guifen was the only daughter of a British man with a prominent family background. Her marriage choice might be more arranged by the family. After she married the country's brother-in-law, she encountered problems such as concubines fighting for favor in the backyard. At first, she was in a difficult position in her marriage.
2. * * Married Life **
- After her marriage, Meng Jingxian got pregnant by disguising herself as Zhen Huan while Guo Junwang was drunk. She even showed off her love everywhere. This was one of her tricks in her marriage. However, her behavior also put her in a complicated interpersonal relationship, especially with Zhen Huan.
- Zhang Guifen was suppressed by her concubine after marriage and sighed in the house. However, she later played to the advantage of being a tiger daughter, such as playing polo and commanding during the mutiny, to win her husband's heart again and win a living space for herself.

* * 2. Family status **
1. * * Family protection **
- As the only daughter of the British public, Zhang Guifen was the apple of her eye at home. Her high family status made it so that even if she was wronged in marriage, the Queen had to compensate her with a pearl. To a certain extent, this family background was her survival guarantee. Although she encountered problems in her husband's family, the influence of the family was a potential support force.
2. * * Character in Family Affairs **
- Zhuang Hanyan in "Noble Daughter" had been abandoned since she was a child. After she returned to the Zhuang family, her return changed the structure of the Zhuang family. This showed that the ancient noble women could also play a key role in the family affairs, whether it was the development of the family or the adjustment of the internal relations of the family.

* * 3. Personal response to crisis **
1. * * When I was framed **
- In some palace or house fighting environments, noble ladies might face the risk of being framed. For example, Yan Wushuang, a noble girl in ancient times, was killed by a servant. However, her rebirth through possessing the soul of a modern agent was quite special. In a normal ancient environment, noble women needed to have a keen insight to identify danger and take countermeasures. For example, when Zhang Guifen faced the means of concubines, she adjusted her survival strategy under Ming Lan's persuasion.
2. * * Surviving in complex interpersonal relationships **
- For example, after Meng Jingxian learned about the affair between Guo Junwang and Zhen Huan, she pretended to be Zhen Huan to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships. Although this method was not recognized, it also reflected that noble girls needed to find their own way of survival in the complicated interpersonal network and weigh the impact of their actions on different interpersonal relationships.
