This is a story that is at once like a dream and not, both real and unreal, spanning past and present lives. I dedicate this work to my beloved Huo Piaoyao! The character is based on Li Le's portrayal of Huo Qubing in The Great Han Dynasty.
*
She is the daughter of a military family; he is a royal relative!
She was born into a distinguished clan; he was born a slave!
He is the cavalry general who watered his horses at Lake Baikal and raised a monument on Mount Langjuxu. She is the general's wife, who stands on her own and builds him a sheltered haven!
A single thought can fill a heart with insecurity. Even he, who expanded the empire's borders and was revered by thousands, could not get past that barrier. But once a heart grows strong, it can cross a thousand rivers and mountains with ease! With an unwavering heart, nothing can stand in your way!
Huo Qubing: "Until the Xiongnu are destroyed, how can I think of making a home?"
Li Xing: "At home, he is our husband and Xiao's father. But on the battlefield, he has only one identity: a general of the Great Han Dynasty."
Huo Qubing: "Go back and tell your Chanyu that if he dares to harm my wife in the slightest, my iron hooves will trample every corner of Xiongnu territory, and the sword in my hand will take the head of every Xiongnu."
Huo Qubing: "I have only this one body and this one heart. I've given them to you, and I can never give them to anyone else."
Li Xin: "I've seen it all. Even though we share the same soul, you are not me, and I... am not you!"
(This novel is not history!!! But history is a little girl anyone can dress up as they please. The historical Huo Qubing was a great patriot and hero. Aside from his military campaigns, no rumors about him were ever recorded. Apart from his son Huo Shan, there is no other information! The author is a woman and doesn't understand the world of men very well, so this can only be written from a woman's perspective.)
There is also a concubine who I don't like very much. When will that concubine Zhao be offline?
