A Guide to Training a Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Attack Dog

Completed in full on September 16

Jiang Ci had been cherished since childhood, the envy of everyone, a girl born to shine.

On the eve of Liangzhou's fall, she was willing to put herself at the heart of the game and marry Ji Yang, the Eastern Yang general who had swept through the north and south.

When Jiang Ci first arrived in Fengdu, the strategist said, "A beauty can bring down a country," and Ji Yang nearly had her killed.

Her surname had reminded him of an old humiliation.

Jiang Ci gritted her teeth and swallowed her grievance, telling herself it was for the greater good of the country.

But that only emboldened him, and he kept pushing her further and further.

One day, Ji Yang took everything her father had sent from Liangzhou and burned it all, ignoring her attempts to stop him.

"This is what your Jiang family owes me!"

"After what your family did to me, you deserve to suffer this!"

It was all right. She would remember every bit of this, and she would get it all back.

She had all the patience in the world for training a dog.

After three years as a hostage, Ji Yang went from a bright, elegant young man to a decisive and ruthless grand governor.

Everyone thought he hated the Jiang family, former loyalists of Western Liang. In truth, what he hated was the boy he had been back then, imprisoned in enemy territory, hungry and stripped of all dignity.

He married Jiang Ci, the daughter of his enemies, thinking that if he humiliated her, he could bury his wretched past.

She was gentle with everyone except him. When she looked at him, her eyes were as still as a dead pool.

He had once tried to kill her in public. He had also burned every keepsake from her homeland with his own hands, just to see her break down in tears.

But she never begged for mercy. Even when he handed her a decisive letter of divorce, she accepted it calmly, without a trace of reluctance.

After Jiang Ci left, Ji Yang felt as if his bones had been pulled out.

Later, Ji Yang, who had never believed in gods or Buddha, climbed three thousand steps and kowtowed before the Buddha.

All he wished was for Jiang Ci to look at him one more time.
