The original owner, Yu Shuang, was a female general of the Northern Li Dynasty with numerous military achievements. Her ancestors had served as generals for generations, making great contributions to the Northern Li.
Most of the men of the Yu family died on the battlefield, leading to a decline in their descendants.
By the time it came to the original owner's generation, he was the only remaining heir.
The original owner inherited the will of her ancestors, taking it upon herself to protect her family and country. From a young age, she disliked wearing red dresses and preferred to practice martial arts.
She aspired to become a renowned female general.
There was no precedent for a woman to be a general in the Northern Li, so she set this precedent.
She did it.
He went to the border to gain experience and learn from the battlefield at the age of 10, and at the age of 16 he made great contributions in a battle.
She also organized her own women's army.
In the years that followed, he made numerous military achievements.
Her fame soared, attracting a large number of fans, and she became a role model for countless women in Beili, proving that women are just as capable as men.
The Northern Expedition expanded its territory, conquering neighboring Sangnan.
Although it wasn't entirely due to the original owner's efforts, in front of the other veteran generals, the original owner wasn't qualified to claim credit.
But who can blame them when the original owner was the first female general in history?
The women's army was like a bright flower amidst a sea of green in the army, particularly dazzling.
Therefore, the original owner had the highest popularity among the people.
As it was passed around, it changed its meaning...
The original owner deserves the decisive credit…
Bei Li was able to take over Sang Nan thanks to the original owner of this body, and so on...
Even the original owner's personal attempts to refute the rumors were to no avail.
Fortunately, the old generals were broad-minded and always referred to the original owner as their own junior, and they also took good care of him on the battlefield.
How could you argue with your own juniors over such a trivial matter?
Just laugh it off...
Later, the original owner learned that her current high reputation was all thanks to her good friend, the sixth princess of Beili, Jiang Wei.
The Sixth Princess, Jiang Wei, unaware of the hidden danger, innocently ran to the original owner of this body to claim credit:
"So, Xiaoshuang, how are you going to thank me?"
The original owner felt helpless about her naive best friend and seriously warned her about the trouble this matter had caused her.
Do you not know that if one's virtue is not commensurate with one's position, disaster will surely follow?
Don't do that again.
Her reaction was something Jiang Wei hadn't expected.
This angered the pampered and innocent sixth princess of Beili.
He condemned the original owner for not recognizing a kind heart.
"I kindly helped you improve your reputation, and you don't even appreciate it?"
And then you started spouting all sorts of profound道理 (principles/truths) that I couldn't understand. It's clearly a good thing, so why does it seem like a bad thing to you?
"Fine, fine, I was just being presumptuous. I don't think you consider me a good friend at all! Humph!"
Jiang Wei left after throwing a tantrum.
The original owner was left standing there, completely bewildered.
After all these years, this princess's princess syndrome has only gotten worse...
Look how spoiled and unreasonable she has become by that person in the palace.
To put it nicely, it's innocence; to put it bluntly, it's ignorance and stupidity.
The original owner rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
She also had to swallow her pride and coax her best friend not to be angry.
I was a bit harsh with my words; I should have chosen a gentler way to express myself that she could accept.
Then her best friend proudly declared that she had forgiven her…
The two reconciled.
The reason they became friends—
Jiang Wei is the Empress's only legitimate daughter, while the Empress herself comes from the Yu family.
They are cousins by generation, and have been close since childhood, eventually becoming good friends.
Jiang Wei has been spoiled and has developed many bad habits; she often throws tantrums.
Only someone of the original owner's status, who also possesses a great capacity for tolerance, could become such a good friend to this person.
...
Soon, the appearance of a man caused another conflict between the two sisters—
The Dustless Gentleman from Sangnan.
He was a gentleman of unparalleled elegance and grace.
With Sangnan captured by Beili, business there became difficult, so naturally, the family business had to shift to Beili, the center of power.
As a businessman, if you want to go far, you naturally need to find a powerful backer.
He then approached the most favored sixth princess of Beili.
Jiang Wei, a self-proclaimed "face-value enthusiast," is completely captivated.
He repeatedly requested the Emperor of Beili to grant him a husband.
Jiang Wei is engaged.
Even the Emperor of Beili looked down on Young Master Wuchen's identity as a merchant and rejected him...
How could Jiang Wei accept this?
She's never liked that fiancé.
Compared to Young Master Wuchen, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
Having seen the good, how could one tolerate something so bad?
She had already decided on her future husband, and it had to be Young Master Wuchen!
So they sought advice from the original owner on how to get the emperor's approval.
They even dared to come up with a terrible idea:
"Make it a fait accompli!"
The original owner was shocked.
How could you even come up with such a terrible idea?
You're a princess, not some nobody from a lowly family! You've thrown away all royal dignity?!?
Do you even want to live anymore?
Later, the original owner keenly realized that Young Master Wuchen was not as simple as a businessman on the surface.
So they sent people to keep a close watch on that person's movements.
Wuchen Gongzi reported her to Jiang Wei, and she said some things intentionally or unintentionally that could be misunderstood.
Jiang Wei argued with the original owner of the body regardless of the consequences.
Good grief, my best friend! She's eyeing the guy I've got my eye on!
The original owner argued that Young Master Wuchen was suspicious.
Jiang Wei covered her ears:
"I don't care, I won't listen!!"
He's the person I love most in this life, and I only know that he's the one for me! You're not allowed to make a move on him, or don't blame me for turning against you!
The original owner was completely bewildered.
