Hua Mulan has only one thought in her life: After the war, go home.
After ten years, she endured it. The battle is won, it's time to go home.
But a decree called her into the palace. She thought she would just go through the motions, receive a reward, and then go home to farm. But she didn't expect that what was waiting for her in the palace was not a reward, but a situation that was even more unpredictable than the battlefield.
That day she was ordered to deliver a document to Princess Chenliu's mansion. The idiot princess who had had a runny nose for fifteen years was squatting by the well, picking up the fallen leaves in the water with a dead branch. Mulan came closer and put the document in front of her: "Princess, your Majesty sent this to you."
Yuan Zhao raised his head, with the snot that could never be wiped off his face, and smiled stupidly. Then she picked up the document, opened it, and read a few lines - Mulan noticed that her eyes rested on the report from the border general. Then Yuan Zhao closed the document, stretched out his hand and handed it to Mulan. His movement was very gentle, but the gesture of handing it over was not a push, but his fingers holding the edge of the page and handing it towards Mulan, just like she often did this.
The moment Mulan took the document, she suddenly realized something: a fool with a runny nose for fifteen years would not hand things over like this.
She raised her head and saw that Yuan Zhao had squatted back by the well again, using the dead branch to stir up the fallen leaves in the water, as if nothing had happened. But Mulan's back was already cold.
Note that the combo is a protagonist that will appear later, so please be patient. Thank you
Intent: In the troubled times of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a woman who joined the army for her father struggled to survive between the battlefield and the court. She spent ten years of fighting in exchange for the possibility of "going home" - only to find that "home" could no longer go back.
