   It's super beautiful and well written. It's already finished. It only took an hour to read. The two countries are about to go to war. The enemy's national advisor shakes his feather fan lightly and smiles like a fox. The more I stared at his face, the more frightened I became - this was clearly my best friend as a military advisor who "died" in battle five years ago. That night I sneaked into the enemy camp and pulled off his mask, and the scars were clearly visible: "No wonder he looks like an old friend..." He slowly took out a small bronze mirror and touched it with powder: "You're going to curse me to death after five years of not seeing each other?" "You're leading troops to block my door?" "Oh, here to betroth." He pointed his feather fan at the dark enemy troops outside the city, "Well, five years of military pay as a betrothal gift, is it enough to marry you and quit the army?"
