The White-Haired General Was Once Doted On

She died at twenty-eight. She spent ten years fighting in underground boxing rings. Her family drained her of every penny, and in her final match, she never made it out of the ring. When she opened her eyes again, she was the three-year-old daughter of a hunter. Her parents doted on her, her brothers spoiled her, and she had chicken legs, new winter clothes, and people who stayed up all night watching over her. She forgot the hardships of her previous life completely, and lived in sweetness for ten years. At twelve, she found a scholar in the mountains. He called her Ying'er, and she fell for him. Then blades came through the door, and her family was slaughtered. Her parents took arrows for her, and her fourth brother, the one who loved her most, drew off the pursuers. He was only fourteen when he died. Her hair turned white overnight. With six lives between them, she could neither love nor forgive him. She left him with one thing to say: “I'll help you get your revenge. After that, we're done.” From then on, she disguised herself as a man and joined the army on the frontier. With the hands that had once fought in the ring, she fought her way from foot soldier to general, then fought her way back to the capital. The sweeter the beginning, the more heartbreaking the rest.
