General Changning

When Jiang Hanyuan was thirteen, she saw for the first time a man whose courtesy name was Jinmei, in her father's military camp.

At the time, the young Prince Anle was inspecting the borderlands and rewarding the troops on the emperor's behalf. Silver hooks gleamed coldly as he laughed over cups of wine. He rode a white horse in a bow case, shattering the frosty dawn over the sandy frontier.

Many years passed, so many that Jiang Hanyuan had forgotten that distant autumn. Then one day, she was told that he had asked her father for her hand in marriage.

By then, he was the Regent in the capital, seated high in power and ruling the court.

She was willing to be his vanguard, to level mountains and fill seas for him, to expand his territory, and to die without regret.

But no one in this world, save herself, would ever know that the cold dawn of that autumn on the frontier, when he rode like the wind and his bow rang like a startled swan, had been the one bright spot in all the desolate dreams of her girlhood.

No one would know.

Never again in this lifetime.

So she told herself.
