You Said We’d Be Brothers in the Border Army, So Why Are You a Woman?

“Wait, bro, how are you a woman?” “Then why did you sleep beside me every night?” As a lowly servant-soldier stationed on the border of the Great Chong, his life was worth less than livestock. Shen Lang had trained in martial arts in his previous life and mastered China’s most elite killing techniques. After unexpectedly inheriting this frail body, he discovered that the “brother” sharing his bed was actually the daughter of a dashing, famous general! Meanwhile, foreign tribes were invading the Great Chong’s borders, the border army was in turmoil, and the people could barely feed themselves. Oppressed by his superiors and persecuted by his fellow soldiers, Shen Lang struggled to survive in the cracks of a game played by the court’s powerful nobles. Lu Chuan lay in the arms of his tenant-farmer father, bawling. “Dad, why do all the other kids on the border come from families with powerful connections at court, while you’re just a tenant farmer?” Old Lu smiled without answering and pointed toward the capital. Lu Chuan wiped away his bitter tears and suddenly understood. “Dad, I get it. You mean relying on your parents isn’t a real achievement. A true hero is someone who can survive these chaotic times on his own, right?” Old Lu grinned. “What I mean is, if you want to rely on your parents, you should’ve said so sooner. Come on, I’ll take you to the capital and make you the crown prince.”
