Liu Yu is four years younger than me, with a refined appearance and an elegant demeanor.
After he learned my name, he said, "I always call you Qing Yao; it feels too distant."
I looked at him and asked, "What do you want then?"
He replied, "How about I call you A-Yao?"
I shook my head and said, "That's not good."
He leaned closer to me, smiling with his eyes: "Then we will be like family from now on."
I frowned and asked, "When did we say that?"
He smiled mischievously, "If I call you A-Yao and you call me A-Yu, aren’t we family?"
I thought for a moment and said, "You can just call me Qing Yao."
Liu Yu pretended to be disappointed: "Qing Yao, it seems you don't like me."
I didn't know how to respond.
I just didn't want to hear him call me A-Yao.
That name reminded me of Shen Moxuan calling Si Yuqing.
He would call her: "Yu Qing."
Each time he did, it felt like a wound opening in my heart.
Those past memories, I thought I had long since moved on from.
But now, they came rushing back vividly.
Suppressing the bitterness inside, I said to Liu Yu, "You can call me Elder Sister."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Elder Sister."
I responded affirmatively.
He smiled contentedly.
After the new emperor ascended the throne and during our journey north, I heard many discussions.
"I heard the new emperor has taken a female general as his bride?"
"Is that the Female General?"
"Yes, that's her!"
"She is really fortunate!"
Listening to these words, I found it both amusing and absurd.
I laughed, but then my heart ached.
I was drunk outside.
Liu Yu asked me, "Elder Sister, why are you heartbroken?"
I replied, "I am not heartbroken."
I covered my heart, and tears unexpectedly fell.
I was so drunk that I couldn't tell if the person in front of me was Liu Yu or someone else.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the person before me, murmuring, "Ah Yu, do you know that ten years ago, the new emperor said he wanted to marry me?"
I grew up alongside Shen Moxuan.
Our families were close friends; my martial arts were inherited from my father, and his were the same.
Back when the Foolish Monarch was in power, Shen Moxuan's family suffered extermination for openly advising him.
In one night, there was not a single survivor from the the Shen Family.
Looking back now, it is still shocking.
The only ones who survived were Shen Moxuan and me.
Since childhood, I protected Shen Moxuan from being bullied by others.
At that time, Shen Moxuan often told me, "Qing Yao, you should become a Female General."
I said, "Okay."
Later on, my father died on the battlefield.
On his sickbed, he held my hand and said intermittently, "Qing Yao, your father can no longer protect you."
I cried until my eyes were red: "Father, please don't leave me!"
My father looked at me, reluctant to part, and said, "Qing Yao, if I leave, you must live well."
I held his hand tightly: "Father!"
He glanced at Shen Moxuan and then back at me: "Qing Yao, if you like Shen Moxuan, then marry him."
These were the last words my father left me.
From that moment on, I kept my father's promise and stayed by Shen Moxuan's side.
Shen Moxuan began training in martial arts to seek revenge.
He practiced diligently every day without fail.
I accompanied him and trained alongside him.
As Shen Moxuan grew older, suitors began to come forward for him.
I asked, "Shen Moxuan, will you marry me?"
Shen Moxuan looked at me and replied, "Qing Yao, I have not yet avenged my great grievance; I do not wish to take a wife."
I said, "Alright, I will wait for you."
I was waiting for the day he would marry me.
I waited for ten years.
After the Rebel Army rose up, Shen Moxuan enlisted.
I followed him and went to the battlefield together.
After he joined the army, he started as a soldier and gradually became a leader.
In the army, aside from me, there were no other women.
Thus, I became the only General Woman.
