In these turbulent times, Dongqing wraps herself in a bearskin and flees for her life among a bunch of scruffy hunters.
Who would have thought that the newly appointed prefect would casually point at her and say, "That short hunter. This slave is yours."
Dongqing froze.
The slave was an injured man, weak and bedraggled, yet exceptionally handsome. The longer Dongqing looked at him, the redder her face grew.
Well, since she had a family to support now, Dongqing strapped on her saber and headed into the mountains through the heavy snow.
When she came back, she was covered in blood, but the game slung over her shoulder was still warm.
The slave was waiting in the thatched hut. He said nothing as he watched her come home.
She drained the blood, tanned the hides, and smoked the meat. Then Dongqing went into the little hut and nudged a bowl toward him. "It's meat soup. It's good."
