Emperor Wu of Han: Forgetting Spring at Yumen Pass

She was Emperor Wu of Han's older sister, and also the Xiongnu's Lady Nangong. "Sister, are you really willing to marry into the Xiongnu?" "Che'er, remember this: no woman wants to leave her home behind, and no woman would willingly marry her enemy. I don't want to marry into the Xiongnu, but I've been forced into it and have no choice! Che'er, if one day you become emperor, I don't ask you to remember me for long. I only ask you to spend your life bringing the grasslands under your rule and wiping out the Xiongnu!" "Sister, I promise you! No matter what I become in the future, I will do everything in my power to defeat the Xiongnu and bring you back to court!" P.S. Yao's knowledge of history is limited. If there are any major historical inaccuracies, please feel free to point them out. Yao will try to follow the course of history, but this is, after all, a work of fiction, so there will always be little details that don't match the historical record. Please forgive any shortcomings. Also: Thanks to my former flame, Moekon, for hand-drawing the cover, even though it was made a year ago... [I won't tell you that I started planning this a year ago and only just got around to writing it...]
