I have lived in Luchuan since childhood and have never left.
But that day, the entire Luchuan fell into a deathly silence.
There were corpses everywhere, blood everywhere.
Crying, shouting, yelling, cursing—sounds echoed endlessly.
I hid in my room, too afraid to go outside.
My father did not take me away; he abandoned me in Luchuan, leaving me to fend for myself.
At that moment, my heart was filled with despair.
Until the Rogue Army broke into the house, and the moment they saw me, greed flashed in their eyes.
"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful girl here."
"This must be the official's daughter; she really is stunning."
"Let's take her back to the boss; we might get a good price for her."
I was terrified and struggled desperately.
But I was too weak; I was no match for them at all.
They tied me up and tried to stuff me into a cart to take me away.
I would rather die than comply.
I bit the man who was pulling me, and as he winced in pain, I turned and ran.
I ran quickly, and for a moment, they couldn't catch up with me.
I reached the riverbank and climbed onto a rickety little boat that was about to fall apart.
"Miss, this boat can't hold anyone!"
The Ferry Man turned pale with fear and hurriedly tried to push me off.
I turned around, looking at the approaching Rogue Army, gritting my teeth.
"Set sail!"
"Miss..."
"I said to set sail!"
I shouted loudly, my voice tinged with a sob.
The Ferry Man dared not persuade me further and could only row the small boat.
I crouched in the boat, watching the approaching Rogue Army, a wave of fear washing over me.
As the boat drifted farther away, I finally let out a sigh of relief.
But little did I know, this small boat could not bear my weight at all.
After just three days of travel, it fell apart just as we were about to reach the shore.
I plunged into the river, my life hanging in the balance.
In my dazed state, I saw a man.
He was sitting by the riverbank, cleaning his long knife.
"Help!"
I cried out desperately.
But he seemed to be deaf to my pleas, completely ignoring me.
Frustrated, I began to curse at him.
Finally, he sheathed his knife and looked at me with a smile.
"What are you trying to show off for? If you have the ability, then save me!"
I cried and shouted, my voice hoarse from desperation.
He raised an eyebrow at me and suddenly laughed.
"Alright."
He leaped down and pulled me up.
This was my first encounter with Xiao Yi.
He was very handsome; even with a blank expression, he drew people's attention effortlessly.
But I did not like him at all.
I always felt that he was a cold-blooded and heartless person. After he saved me and brought me to shore, he handed me over to his subordinate. I was taken by his subordinate toward the camp when I encountered Luo Yu.
Luo Yu is the youngest son of Luo Che and the sworn brother of Xiao Yi. "Little lady, how did you end up in the water?" Luo Yu stopped me and asked with a smile. I lowered my head, not wanting to respond to him.
Luo Yu continued, "Don't be afraid, Brother Pei is not a bad person." He certainly wasn't a bad person; he was just a ruthless killer. Luo Yu brought me to serve beside Xiao Yi and specifically instructed me to take good care of him. I nodded and didn't say much more.
The time I spent beside Xiao Yi was not easy. Xiao Yi had a terrible temper, and even a small mistake could provoke his wrath. Once, he even told me, "I shouldn't have saved you. As a girl in this chaotic world, how can you survive?" His words were harsh but true. What could a girl like me do in such turmoil?
However, I also had my own pride; I was unwilling to easily submit to him.
