Jiang Luotong, the female goddess of war in Liangzhou, has a son-in-law who can only call her "sister".
The man squatted in the kitchen, simmering ginger soup and stewing sweet pears for her, as docile as a cat. Until the enemy's scimitar searched the baggage truck and a token engraved with her handwriting fell at his feet - it was spread throughout the city that she had been deceived by Beidi Xizuo for three years.
She drew her sword and put it to his throat, cut off a strand of his hair, and shouted one word: "Get out."
He didn't hide, and only said three words: "It's not me." The night he left the house, the first autumn rain fell in Liangzhou.
Five years later, the enemy army came to the gate. Next to the prince who led the army sat a military counselor in Xuanyi. The man lifted his hood, his eyebrows were as before, and he smiled at her: "Sister, you're fine."
The court forced her to kill the "traitor" with her own hands. She went to the meeting alone and broke into the enemy camp, with the sword pointed at his heart. He held her hand and pressed the tip of the sword into his flesh: "Stab it here. I won't even frown."
It turns out he never betrayed her. After five years of hiding, he would rather be a sinner in the world and only guard the city behind him for her. On the night of the reunion, the ginger soup on the stove was still hot after simmering for half an hour.
——She married a spy from an enemy country, and later found out that that man was her destination.
