After the traitor's daughter was forced to join the army
My father was the most traitorous prime minister of the day, but I was the most notorious noble daughter in the entire capital. The day the marriage decree came down, I tore it into pieces and threw it into the brazier: "You want me to get married? Why don't you send me to the border to die." The whole court was in an uproar, scolding me for being ungrateful. Three years later, I returned to Beijing with scars all over my body and military achievements, followed by 100,000 cavalry. My father knelt down in front of the emperor and cried, telling me that my great achievements shocked the Lord. I smiled and took out another imperial edict: "Thank you father for reminding me. Your Majesty said whoever advised him to reduce his military power - kill without mercy."

When the imperial edict arrived, I was leaning against the window of the pavilion facing the lake, scattering fish food into the Golden Scale Pond one after another. The red and yellow koi fish intertwined, scrambling and tumbling under the water, shattering a pool of floating gold.
The high-pitched voice of the eunuch who delivered the order was like a blunt knife, scraping his eardrums as he recited words such as "Surrounded and virtuous" and "A match made in heaven". Every word was filled with vain flattery. Marriage was given to the prince of Yongning, the dandy who was famous for fighting cocks and running horses, sleeping on flowers and sleeping in willows. His majesty's "favor" really put my Shen family, Shen Zhiyi, and his last bit of face under his feet.
Father, Shen Mozhang, the chief minister of the dynasty, led the whole family to kneel in front of him, his back was appropriately respectful and grateful. Everyone in the courtyard held their breath and lowered their heads. Only the eunuch's protracted tone meandered in the extravagant and suffocating air of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I pinched the last handful of fish food, looked at the red carp that was fighting the most fiercely below, and suddenly poured down all the bait in the porcelain cup.
"——Appreciate this!"
When the last words came to an end, my father was about to thank me, but I stood up.
