Ma Xiuying is a character of quiet strength and keen intellect in the novel ‘She Who Became the Sun.’ As a woman navigating the treacherous waters of the Ming Dynasty’s political landscape, she possesses a sharp mind for diplomacy and an innate understanding of the subtleties of court intrigue. Her regal bearing and slim, graceful figure belie a steely resolve and a strategic mind capable of influencing the course of events from behind the scenes. With a vision that extends beyond the limitations imposed by her gender, Ma Xiuying’s ambition is not merely to stand alongside men, but to surpass them, reshaping her world with a blend of elegance and power. Her words, ‘A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition,’ encapsulate her desire for greatness and her refusal to accept the status quo.
“A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition.”
