"Let's go, I'll take you to see my camp."
They did not walk fast.
"Shih Lei, you saw today how favored I am in front of the Emperor."
Gu Shengyin looked at him: "I'm not saying this to boast, but to tell you, if you want to marry me, it's not an easy thing."

"So?"
Shih Lei's tone was firm: "So I won't give up. Ah Luan, you have to wait for me."
Gu Shengyin smiled: "Alright, I'll wait for you."
This wait lasted five years.
For five years, she ignored countless suitors, rejected her father and mother's repeated suggestions, and wholeheartedly waited for that man to grow up.

When he first showed his potential, he was just a minor soldier.
Yet that soldier, in a battle between Tianze Kingdom and Yunze Kingdom, killed a thousand and captured the enemy leader alive.
