[Matriarchy] [Alternate History]
When Gongyi Yule was fourteen, she was surrounded by countless admirers. But it seemed that after heaven had granted her a light and perfect life for over a decade, it demanded an even greater price. Just when she had finally fallen for someone, they ran away. Just when they'd finally made up, she was sent to the border for five years by her own older sister for hurting someone. At last, she returned in time to attend her younger brother's coming-of-age ceremony, only for the greatest nightmare of her life to unfold there...
They faced each other on the battlefield. The last words her younger brother, whom she had cherished for over a decade, ever said to her were:
"Elder Sister, if there's another life, I want to be your younger brother again..."
Theme: In Xichao, women can study and become officials, as well as train in martial arts and serve as soldiers.
