Tales of the Northern Frontier of the Red Lolita Republic

Red Rome is Rome too (absolutely certain, though hardcore Roman fans are furious)

Qi Ping'an's hometown lies on the border between the Republic of Red Rome and the Kingdom of Iberia. As a centurion in the Northern Legion, his daily routine is to trade rocks with foreign sentries. When they're in a good mood, they chat across the border river, sing to each other, and share delicious tobacco.

He thought life would go on like this forever, until he fished a mysterious girl out of the river. His peaceful days were over.

"I'm such an idiot. I really shouldn't have gone fishing in the river that day."

(A fantasy military novel set in a border region, mainly about the cheerful everyday lives of soldiers from different countries and some amusing tales from the frontier. Readers looking for something different are welcome to give it a try.)
