Subalit sa kabila ng takot na nadarama niya, patuloy pa rin siyang umaasa na darating ang araw na makikita at makikilala niya ito. Minsan, naiisip niya kung ano kaya ang hitsura ng kanyang asawa, at kung paano siya makakaramdam kapag sa wakas ay magkasama na sila.

The ancient saying goes: Most generals come from Guan Xi, while ministers come from Guan Dong. He Yan was born to be a Star General. She was merely a stepping stone for her family, and was used as her brother's substitute. She had fought on the battlefields for years, bringing peace to Xi Qiang, stopping the barbarians... When her brother recovered, she gave up her position with great laurels brought to her name. Without further ado, she was married off. During her married life, she was forsaken by her husband and even suffered from a strange illness, thereby losing her eyesight... The young and pretty concubine stood in front of her, speaking softly: "The decoction you drank that made you blind was instructed by the elders of your family. As you know, the dead tell no tales. If you lived, you would be your family's greatest threat!" A great general of her time, the heroine of the country, died pitifully in the hands of those shameless women, who only knew to fight for a man's favor... How absurd!

They had stolen her glory, taken her life, lead her army and betrayed her feelings! She had crawled back from the depths of hell and would take back everything she had lost, one by one. Bring the world under her feet and with her beauty and nobility, overwhelm the nine prefectures! But would she get out easily once she entered the barracks? Hardly did she begin her adventures when He Yan met her arch-enemy of the previous lifetime, that young hunk whose "enemies would retreat as soon as he attacked". The chic and cool female general versus the handsome and ravenous young man. Two efficient generals team up to conquer the world! ps: not my own story, for offline purposes only

Jullianna Capistrano (Daughter of Angela and Mael of Owning Her) Gavin Melchor (Son of Sabrina and Gabino of The Crazy Tease) _______________ "Who are... you?" Kumurba sa isang ngiti ang mga labi nito. Miski ang ngiti nito ay pamilyar sa akin. "I am the woman you should love..." she said. Her voice was different. It seems she use some gadgets to change her voice. Dumako ang mga mata ko sa leeg nito at nakita ko ang isang bilong na patch na nakadikit doon. "Why would I?" tanong ko rito. Nawala ang ngiti nito sa mga labi. Ngunit saglit lang at muli iyong bumalik, and it's a wicked smile. Parang gusto kong kilabutan ngunit kabaligtaran ang nararamdaman ko. I felt giddy and excited. Para akong batang may bubuksang bagong laruan. Yumuko ito at bumulong sa aking tainga. "Because I say so..." malambing nitong bulong, and Mary mother of goddamn Jesus, gusto kong mapapikit sa mainit na buga ng hininga nito sa aking leeg, kung hindi ko napigilan ang aking sarili baka may kumawala ng ungol sa aking bibig. Nagtunugan ang kadenang nakatali sa 'king magkabilang kamay nang tangkain kong hawakan ito. Nawala sa isip kong nakagapos ako. Napatiim ang aking bagang kasabay ng isang lihim na ngiti. Alam ko na kung sino ang kidnapper ko. Isang taong kilalang-kilala ko. Ang babaeng pinapangarap ko. Ngunit may isang tanong na naglalaro sa isipan ko... Bakit ako ang kinidnap niya, at hindi ang kakambal ko na siyang kinababaliwan niya?
