Someone Like Me

A covert guard: a high-risk occupation in historical China.

I'm a masked female covert guard, with a sexy figure and nimble moves. What's not cool about that?

When the Crown Prince was ambushed, I charged through an army and took the enemy general's head, helping him escape.

He saw that I had a "sexy figure and nimble moves, and was so cool," and insisted on offering himself to me.

In the dead of night, in a ruined temple, with the sky for a quilt and the earth for a bed, he gazed at me with affection and desire. He slowly took off my mask, then his face stiffened. "Maybe you should put that back on."

I'm not bothered that he's small, but he thinks I'm ugly?

So I sent him back to the enemy camp that very night.
