The Wind Blows Through the Jade Gate

The book has been worn out. She was still sitting under the kerosene lamp, alone, writing half of a letter and stopping in the middle of an unfinished sentence. In the winter month of the third year of the New Calendar, Beiping. Shen Jingqiu, the daughter of a former Qing Dynasty official who had returned from studying in England, was thrust into a gold collar button by Fu Huaian, a young marshal of the Dingwu Army, in public at a banquet. "I'm attracted to you. I'll have someone come to your door tomorrow to propose marriage." She threw her collar to the ground in front of him: "Is Governor Fu's betrothal gift a firearm or a prison cell?" The whole hall was silent. He bent down to pick it up and tucked it into the lining of his military uniform. The next day, the marriage certificate arrived with the army. She is married. Everyone thought this was a warlord seizing civilian girls. It wasn't until after the marriage that Shen Jingqiu discovered that Fu Huaian had given her more than just a marriage contract - he placed her in front of the desk and put the telescope on the tower in her hand. "The economics you studied is used to settle accounts for me. Your pen is used to write documents for me. Your eyes are used to read maps for me." She sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?" He didn't even raise his head: "Where are you rebelling? All of Peiping belongs to me. But if you really rebel - I can die in your hands." --- During those days, she translated thirty-seven secret messages from the enemy and fended off two assassinations for him. The last time snow fell on the walls of Beiping, she used the gun he gave her to fight a battle for him in which he was not present. Then she sat in front of the desk and wrote a letter to him. She stopped writing after writing the words "When the wind blows -". That letter has not been finished yet. He gave her a barrier and she became the wind.
