The princess went out in search of amusement and was captured by the enemy.
On the battlefield, they demanded a hostage in exchange.
Lu Wei, our commanding general, turned to me—the woman standing beside him disguised as a man.
I had spent more than ten years at his side, risking my life with him and helping him win battle after battle.
Only he knew I was a woman.
He had even promised to spend his life with me.
But when he saw the enemy’s blade against the princess’s throat, his anguish was plain.
“Once we’ve brought her back, I’ll come for you.”
He handed me over himself.
By the time that blade reached my neck, he already had the rescued princess in his arms.
Dragged into the enemy camp, I waited day and night for him.
Instead, the news arrived that he was about to marry her.
That evening, I revealed to Xie Lin, the enemy emperor, that I was a woman—and chose to be with him.
Later, Lu Wei finally declared war, announcing that he was coming to rescue me.
Watching Xie Lin make our baby laugh, I sent back a languid reply: “Today is my son’s one-month celebration.
Don’t spoil it.”
Lu Wei lost his mind.
