[Three Kingdoms] Guo Jia and I Were Made for Each Other

*Everyone is from ancient times. Nobody transmigrates.

Dong Yan thought she could live a carefree life in Liangzhou, protected by her father and cherished by her older siblings.

But the trip to Luoyang to escort the emperor changed the course of her life without her realizing it.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, the land was ravaged by war, with bones stretching for thousands of miles. Every morning, she had to feel for her own head to make sure it was still there.

Thankfully, it was.

And thankfully, Dong Yan met someone who would protect her head alongside her.

Guo Jia of Yingchuan is described in the histories as "careless in his conduct and frugal in his habits" and "a brilliant strategist with uncanny insight."

When Guo Jia first met Dong Yan's father, her father didn't see any "brilliant strategist with uncanny insight." All he saw was someone "careless in his conduct and frugal in his habits."

Dong Yan defended him, insisting that he was a good person.

That is, until they met again in Luoyang.

Dong Yan stood atop the city wall. He rode a tall horse, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. As he chatted and laughed, he seemed to aspire to swallow up heaven and earth.

Then she seemed to understand what her older sister meant when she said you could know, in a single moment, that you would love someone for the rest of your life.

After that, whenever Guo Jia came home from the office of the Minister over the Masses, she brought two flasks of aged wine and solemnly invited him to drink with her, hoping to learn about his past.

When Guo Jia was to set out on campaign with Cao Cao, she made a dozen protective charms with her own hands and chose the most exquisite one to give him.

On the day he left for war, she wore her prettiest ruqun and saw him off at the city gates.

People said that Guo Fengxiao had stolen the Dong family's second daughter.

Dong Yan's father was so furious he nearly jumped out of his skin. "Didn't you say he was a good person?"

Many years later, as the couple stood guard over a lonely city, their fingers interlaced, Guo Jia asked her, "After marrying me in this life and enduring all these years of upheaval, do you ever regret it?"

She shook her head.

Meeting Guo Jia was the greatest gift she'd received in this chaotic age.
