The third daughter of the General of Zhen, in Yan Nan Town, had just turned five. A sweet, innocent little dumpling, she found a foreign boy on a snowy day.
She threw a tantrum and rolled on the ground until her family agreed to let her call him her big brother, hoping to make up for the fact that both her own brothers were stationed on the border.
Childhood sweethearts, both in love with each other.
When she became engaged to the crown prince, her big brother disappeared.
On her wedding day, her big brother arrived covered in blood.
The battle report from the border said he had slaughtered an army of a hundred thousand, while the three heroic generals of the Luo family had died in battle.
Wearing her phoenix crown and red wedding robes, she gazed at the capital of Jin Palace, where smoke billowed everywhere.
Her country lay in ruins, battered by storms.
The city gates fell.
A hail of arrows pinned her to the city wall.
If there is another life, may I put aside the hatred of family and country.
I only want to be a cat.
Carefree, aloof, and proud.
It was another snowy night, cold and bleak.
She stumbled and fell onto the flagstones, covered in a blanket of heavy snow.
This time, she was the one who got taken home.
Her big brother, gentle and tender yet decisive in battle, looked up at her as she leapt onto the roof ridge. His amber eyes glistened with tears. “Are you leaving me too...?”
Luo Xuezhao, or rather, Snowball, shook out her fur.
Sigh. Why bother?
Wasn't it better to be a pampered Imperial cat, living in luxury? Why go through all that again?
