But one man saw her as an equal, the one who should be her greatest enemy, the one who would have every reason to break her apart, was the one who saw her potential the most and did not underestimate her for being a woman for even a second. Shang spared her out of a debt... Shan Yu helped her because she was a warrior worthy of his respect.
