I am a princess sent to marry for the sake of my people.
My marriage brought peace to the border, let my royal brother sleep soundly, and spared my childhood sweetheart's family the pain of being torn apart.
On the day of the wedding, beside the red bridal curtains and phoenix carriage, the young general was pinned to the ground, his eyes bloodshot from crying.
"Your Highness, please wait for me. In three years, I'll come bring you back, and we'll be husband and wife again."
At the time, I couldn't hold back my emotions, and tears streamed down my face.
But now, as I look at the resentful couple before me, clinging to each other without end, I suddenly feel at peace.
I turn and enter the tent, changing back into the plain homespun clothes I wore when I killed my husband just moments ago.
