As the youngest general in the entire interstellar world, Ye Suiyou has S-rank mental power, and everyone knows she despises nothing more than pretty faces with combat stats below five: useless ornaments.
But one day, a marriage contract was suddenly placed before her.
The engagement had been arranged twenty-three years ago, before she was even born. Her betrothed was the mysterious Crown Princess of the Tenth Star Region.
Ye Suiyou: "..." She had to break off the engagement. It would only slow her down when killing the Zerg!
On the way to the Tenth Star Region, Ye Suiyou thought of countless things to say when she called it off.
But the moment she saw the mysterious Crown Princess, the words caught in her throat. She couldn't get a single syllable out.
Her adjutant watched helplessly as their general, who could fight the Zerg for three days and nights without even spitting blood, stared straight at the Crown Princess. Bright red liquid slowly trickled from her nose. After a long moment, she finally blurted out excitedly:
"My fiancee is so beautiful!"
--
On the day of Hua Yanxi's coronation banquet as Crown Princess, two topics were bought their way to the top of the Star Net trending list.
#The iron tree blooms! The General and the Tenth Crown Princess are actually engaged!#
#The mysterious Crown Princess of the Tenth Star Region is wheelchair-bound, with paralyzed legs#
The Star Net erupted in an uproar, and netizens' question marks practically burst through their screens.
[Our General is utterly indifferent to romance. There's absolutely no way she has a fiancee, right?]
[Check the news. The General just finished chopping up the Zerg Queen at the front lines this morning. She's still fired up. Spread rumors at your own risk!]
[No way! It's not that the Tenth Crown Princess isn't good, but the General values strength above all. How could she be engaged to someone disabled?]
Hua Yanxi was very satisfied with the result. She sat steadily in her wheelchair, waiting for Ye Suiyou to come break off the engagement.
That night, Ye Suiyou, whose Star Net account had been dormant for ten years, posted an update.
[Who could resist a gorgeous older sister???]
Hua Yanxi: "..." Who could tell her why the person who was supposed to come break off the engagement was now beaming and glued to her side, calling her "gorgeous older sister" at every turn, completely destroying her own image?
In the end, the engagement couldn't be called off, and Ye Suiyou couldn't be sent away either. But the more Hua Yanxi looked at that silly face, the more familiar it seemed.
Years later, when an interstellar reporter interviewed Ye Suiyou, they asked:
"Was it really love at first sight for you and the Princess?"
Ye Suiyou: "For the record, all love at first sight is just being attracted to someone's looks."
