[Somewhat Irreverent Space Opera] [Younger to Older]
Princess Ming Yao, an imperial general, had spent years sweeping across the galaxy, undefeated in battle and unstoppable in attack.
An accident left her betrayed and set up by her trusted aide. When she woke, she was on an unknown planet.
The planet was desolate, and even its jump points were several eras behind.
Her super mech, capable of freely traversing space, was badly damaged, so she had no choice but to put down roots here for the time being.
Life on this barren planet was lonely, but fortunately, she had a little one by her side.
The little one was a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen, but his intelligence seemed no greater than that of a toddler. Ming Yao planned to take him away and get him treatment once they made it off the planet.
Then one day, she caught the little one secretly correcting errors in the schematics for her mech.
You little rascal! So you were just pretending to be stupid?

Later, Ming Yao left the barren planet and endured countless hardships to return to the Imperial Capital Star.
She thought she was going home, but never imagined she was walking into a trap.
The faith she had once held dear crumbled in an instant.
Ming Yao spent a day and a night inside a black hole.
By the time she emerged, fifty years had passed.
Watching the rebel commander approach, Ming Yao softly called out, "Little one?"
The rebels watched their mature, steady leader's eyes turn red. His voice trembled as he replied, "Yes. It's me."
PS: People in the interstellar era live a long time, with an average lifespan of two or three hundred years.
