Ye Hongru was aware of some of the inside details.
He empathized deeply, knowing that it was much harder for women to serve as generals compared to men. Therefore, he was especially tolerant toward them.
Yang Xianhui finished wiping her blade. Her tear-stained eyes turned to look at Ye Hongru and she asked, "If a male soldier in the army encountered a canceled engagement, would General Ye grant them time to go home and resolve it?"
Ye Hongru froze for a moment, then shook his head, "For men, the nation comes first. Without achievements and contributions, how can they think of family? There has never been a male soldier who left the camp because of a broken engagement."
"Then if men can do it, why should I make an exception just because I've been rejected? How are women any less than men? Without achievements and contributions, how can we think of family?
This engagement being canceled is just that—I, Yang Xianhui, will never live my life with marriage as my goal!
