After more than a decade in a daze, my memories suddenly returned, and I found myself in Xuzhou.
The good news: my father is Lu Bu, so life is comfortable and I don't have to sleep rough or live off the land.
The bad news: my father is Lu Bu, and he's made enemies of every big shot he possibly could.
Right now, he's just seized Xuzhou, Liu Bei is in Xiaopei, and his fortunes are about to hit rock bottom.
I look at my father, who has absolutely no sense of impending danger.
At this critical juncture, Lu Ying resolutely follows her father's example and stabs him in the back.
Lu Ying: Uncle, what do you think of Xuzhou?
Liu Bei: ...What kind of trouble is your Lu family trying to stir up now?
Lu Ying: Uncle, you're a man of extraordinary talent, a hero of our age. Xuzhou is blessed with remarkable people and a fine landscape. I think you should be its ruler.
Liu Bei: ...Do you really expect me to believe that?
Lu Ying: This is my father's military tally. I knocked him out in a sneak attack, too. Just give the word, and you can take back control of Xuzhou at any time!
Liu Bei: ???!!!
And so, from that day on, Liu Bei had a new general under his command.
Lu Ying's daily routine also became: learning by stealth, learning by stealth, learning by stealth, racking her brains to come up with some advanced technology.
Lu Bu: ...You unfilial daughter, get lost.
Much later, someone asked General Lu how she had managed to follow His Majesty all the way to the present day.
Lu Ying thought back to that unremarkable autumn.
An alternate universe, set in a fictional world.
