Wuxia was still perplexed as she stared at the two males dressed in warrior robes, shocked. The two stared at their General, who is typically silent and shivers in fear every time she wakes up, but today she didn't shudder but screamed, prompting the two to question their sanity, "Did the sun rise on the west today? Why is their General acting weird today?
"General are you alright?" The man in the black robe expresses concern gently, his voice tinged with concern.
Wuxia snaps at her dreamland and turns to face the two handsome men by her side, drooling (you're a perverted woman, Wuxia)
"Damn! They are good-looking! ," she grinned as she look at them head to toe again.
The two men shuddered as they saw their General's grins and as she gazed at them up and down, giving them chills.
General's stare is... Scary
Wuxia's head was assaulted again with memories of the body before she could say shameless words about the two guys.
~"Freaking hell! I hate headaches the most!"~ Wuxia groans inside her head.
The body she was occupying was named Ruo Hua Heng, and she is now 19 years old. She is the daughter of the former and legendary General Rou Cheng, who is the strongest General in the kingdom of Guo.
As their traditions go, she is an old maiden, but her appearance is still youthful and well-maintained, unlike the others. Most ladies under the age of 18 in the empire or any country have their own engagements announced or sometimes become brides, but the eldest daughter of the Rou clan is still unmarried and unengaged. However, this is not an issue because the Rou clan gives their children the option to choose whether or not to marry. In addition to being the treasured daughter of the patriarch, all clan members adore Rou Hua Heng.
Rou Hua Heng does not accept suitors despite the fact that many young masters want to woo her. This is not only because Hua Heng does not have anyone who makes her heart skip a beat at the moment, but also because her father loves her daughter and so every man who tries to win her hand is incompetent.
The thing is, her face is so stunningly beautiful that only a few people know what she looks like because she rarely goes outside and takes part in tea parties with other ladies. Hua Heng always wears a veil when she ventures outside.
When she learned about the clan's main problem and her brother being poisoned, she volunteered to be the replacement for her brother. He is unable to join the army owing to the toxin on his body, which has been confirmed as a slow-reacting poison that paralyzes all parts of the body slowly and painfully until the point the body itself collapses causing the person to die a painful death. If they don't find a treatment soon, the poison's symptoms will manifest, which they did not wish to happen.
Her father and mother, as well as her brother and the rest of her beloved family, disagreed with her resolve, but Rou Hua Heng, like her father and brother, is as stubborn as a bull, so she eventually entered the palace earning a title of a General after obtaining the reluctant agreement of her father and mother.
Wuxia's current body learns martial arts as well, but the martial arts she knows are not ideal for fighting, especially in times of war, and owing to her already weak body and the addition of having yang energy that is incompatible with combat. When her energy was evaluated, they discovered that it is yang, surprising the officials directing the recruitment, coupled with the malicious actions of some bad officials who have animosity with the Rou clan and the discovery of her having yang energy. Hua Heng was promoted to a Bronze Rank, the lowest rank of generals...
Many were also curious why she was qualified to be a general even with a yang power. But someone in the higher up still gives her the recommendation to become one. Whether this recommendation is a contempt to humiliate her and her clan or not. Rou Hua Heng still pursued substituting her brother until he recovers.
One month after she joined the barracks, her Family Clan met disasters causing a major crisis for the family, her father is still a general but he suffered an injury after the war of the fittest and lost unjustly due to a conspiracy of the ministers and other jealous Generals, her mother was so depressed due to the occurring problems and almost die due to attempt suicide but quickly saved by her families love and care, her brother is getting weaker and weaker due to the poison and her clan members was being attacked by unknown assassins and bandits causing many casualties but thankfully none of them died but many members are in a coma or even worst crippled.
Their clan's reputation is on the verge of deteriorating, but it is not enough to bring the clan to its knees financially or politically. The Rou clan cannot be considered one of the longest pillars of Gou if it can be brought down by mere problems. Moreover, the clan has faced many difficult situations in the past. The only weakness in their stronghold is that the clan lacks the effort or desire to create more chaos when their honor and prestige are at stake. They don't care about anything besides when it concerns their loyalty to the empire. Rou clan is humble which is also one of their advantages and can only be provoked excessively when a major crisis occurs.
The clan is now facing an enormous difficulty, particularly with the clan's successor and their patriarch's injuries. The clan can deal with the turmoil of their business and injured members, but the situation of their chief elder throws the entire clan into disarray.
Due to the declining reputation of the Rou clan, the clan becomes a joke to the other clans but earns pity and more respect from the commoners. As per Wuxia's opinion, the Rou clan had a better reputation among commoners than the other clans, which is why, even though the girl's clan was supposed to be falling and being insulted by the other. The commoners were aware that the Rou clan had been wrongfully accused, they still continued to support them in the same way that the Rou clan had aided them when they were in need, unlike the other clans' superficial help. So if the commoners heard bad rumors or jokes that are giving a bad reputation to the clan they have to think twice or a piece of evidence before they criticized the clan some big named commoners that have big respect for the Rou clan help the clan in protecting their already tarnished reputations or even make a ruckus to the ones who are insulting the clan. Not only do commoners look up to the Rou clan, but there are also good and respected clans that are still linked to the clan, including the Ning clan, the Rou's oldest friend and ally, among others.
Wuxia sigh in admiration for the bonds of the girl's clan to the commoners.
Strong public support is unbreakable and powerful, especially the faith that the public has in those they have supported.
That is why those evil clans were so envious eh hahaha!
Ruo Hua Heng suffered many insults and disdain towards the other Generals but she stays silent enduring the pain alone even though she was scared and wants to run away but she can't because of her family. She always recites her mantra to not give in for the sake of her clan.
What a brave girl
Rou was given only a small troop consisting of 200 soldiers and 5 trusted warriors that her father stationed as her personal bodyguards. The 200 men were respectful to her due to her status as the son of their admired General Rou Cheng. Even though they were told how incompetent the general they were assigned to was, they didn't have much choice.
What options do they have? They were likewise weak, which is why the malicious higher-up people assigned them to this General, who is also weak except for the five trustworthy guards.
As the girl's days passed. Hua Heng's life becomes hard as she entered the palace territory even with the guards her father ordered cannot protect her from verbal abuse from many because she is the first bronze rank General in the history of Guo.
The day when General Bao Che challenge him in horse racing in exchange for resigning as General and also she accidentally heard the guy's insulting words towards her father and her clan which ignited the burning hate and anger deep inside her heart. Hua Heng gathers her strength to prove to them that she is not weak despite the fact that she is a woman disguised as a guy. She may be frail, yet she can be brave when her family is insulted in front of her. In the fight even though most of the time she was unable to give a decent fight to her stronger opponent she still manages to prolong their fight to the point that her opponent finds it strange and annoyed. She may be weak but her mind, skills of evading all the enemies' attacks and strong will keeps her fighting along.
She assigned her five guards to different tasks so that they would not interfere with her fight, but she was still defeated and died, but before she died, she vowed that she would avenge herself and her family which she did.
"And that is the reason why I was pulled" Wuxia still sighs with what she discovers but she suddenly froze
Wait... She lost and she must resign from her position, right?
.
.

Well, who cares?! I'm not the one who vowed with that Bao person to compromise to resign my post ah! Dream on!
There is no IOU or contract in that fight why should I obey *sneers*
I, Wuxia Qin, will definitely avenge her.
Since she pulled me into her world, I have to survive if I want to stay alive bah
I still want to go back and so let me enjoy this world while fulling this girl's request.
~"Wait..... Gahhhhh... I'm adapting quickly! I hope those guys will not collapse to death if they found my body ice cold. I hope they won't bury me too soon, or if I have the opportunity to return, that the entity who dragged me here will give me a new body. Gahhh! When that moment arrives, I will reconsider if I can actually return, just as this girl promised.''~ Wuxia sighs in frustration
Damn it! I didn't get a chance to say goodbye...
Wuxia's face contorted into a sad and depressing look as she remembers that her family will be devastated by her sudden passing.
But, is she really dead? This question enters her head as well, but before she can address it, Hua Heng is distracted by the movements and sounds of concern around her. She recalled being accompanied by two men.
The guys beside her become worried and a little panicked due to their miss solemn looks.
Wuxia snaps into reality and slaps her cheeks creating a loud smack and stunning the men.
~"These men...good looking"~ Wuxia grins when she finally felt the sting
"Ouch!"
"Miss?!"
~"Focus Wuxia! ....now that I am Ruo Hua Heng, I will show to the world who is the boss and the peasants, the king and the servants, all of you will now to me and beg me for mercy"~ Wuxia smirks hypocritically in her head as she thinks about it.
~I shall raise my own unbeatable army that shatters this world and rise like a Dragon in the sky! Those who harm this body will be punished thousand times over, and even Yama cannot begrudge them their wretched life! As long as I live, as long as I breathe, I shall raise the flag of my clan to the sky to be seen by all of you people again. Wait and see...~
A gust of wind entered like a ghost as it passed through a melodic and grateful voice whispered in her ears, "Thank you..."
