我不做西施，我叫夷光
Baodong Baoxi
Come to China Literature's website to read more of my works! Later generations will call me Xi Shi. But I am not Xi Tzu. Xi Shi is a chess piece, a disaster for the country, and a fluttering legend written by the historian. They wrote about me as a beautiful woman, about me as a charming woman, and about me as a traitor to my country, but no one ever asked me if I wanted to. My name is Yi Guang. I would squat by the stream until my legs were numb, secretly feed rotten rice to wild cats, and wake up late at night, listening to the walls plotting my life. They say that women are like water, they drift with the current. But water also has obsessions - flowing downwards is not to accept fate, but to survive. This book is not the legend of Xi Tzu. It's me, Shi Yiguang's fate.
