Zi Wei is the true Huan Zhu Ge Ge. She is the long lost daughter of the king. The king promised her mom that he would bring her to Beijing 19 years ago, but he never showed up for her. Before Swallow showed up, he never thought he would have a daught wondering outside of the palace (Duh! Think about what you did 19 years ago!!!). Zi Wei's mom raised her alone and in ancient China pregnancy without marriage is unthinkable. When people found out that she is a single mother, everyone distanced themselves from Zi Wei and her mom. Even thought she is a single mother, she still taught her daughter everything she could like reading, writing, composing poems and understanding proverbs. Zi Wei has almost the same personality as Swallow (maybe that's why they became great friends)! J
