Everyone knows that the female general of Chu was born with heterochromia. Her left eye was ordinary, but her right shone like gold.
People had mixed opinions about it. Some said the golden eye was a blessing from the immortals, an auspicious sign that would protect Chu's fortunes. Others called it an aberration that would bring disaster upon the country.
Before Ji Yunzhao became a general, everyone in Chu, from court officials to common folk, raised their voices and cried, "This woman is a monster. She must not be allowed to live!"
After she became a general and returned to the capital after defending the border for three years, everyone sang her praises: "General Ji is both learned and accomplished in martial arts. Though she is a woman, she has fought bravely on the battlefield and crushed the enemy. She truly is one chosen by heaven!"
Ji Yunzhao: ...Whatever makes you happy.
But she had forgotten one thing: Chu's entertainment industry was highly developed, and every person beloved by the people had a place in their storybooks. So when she returned to the capital, almost everyone who came to greet her was holding a different storybook. The one thing they all had in common was that Ji Yunzhao was the protagonist.
The General's Life in the Barracks: A Few Stories, My Unspoken Story with General Ji, Born with Heterochromia? Chosen by Heaven!, Everyone Loves General Ji, and countless others.
Ji Yunzhao (eyes trembling): Th-these are just storybooks. Let them do as they please.
After reading them, the female general, famed on the battlefield for her unmatched courage, spent three whole nights unable to sleep.
Ji Yunzhao (dazed): Everyone, please leave me alone. I'm really not that kind of person!
