General Yuan was the undefeated, heroic war god of Great Jin. My father was a servant in the general mansion, growing up with the general since he was young. So, it was natural that I also belonged to the general mansion after coming to the world. When I turned 1 year old, Young Master was born.

Little by little, Young Master grew up to be as beautiful as a painting. His skin was white and smooth. Exactly like a beauty in a harem. Inside, I looked down on his weak physique a little, but outside, I was always obedient. He told me to go East, I definitely dared not go West. My father said, a servant should act like a servant. I felt like those words made sense, at least on the surface.

Young Master liked taking baths with lots of fragrant herbs. He asked me if it smelt good.­­ I said with disgust that it was a little pungent, so he…cried.

That year, I was 13 years old. The Emperor said the general wanted to rebel, so a big fire burned the general mansion to the ground. Within the ruins, I saw father dragging a sword towards me, a look of both unwillingness and determination in his eyes. In the general mansion, only me and Young Master were around the same age. My father, who was loyal to the general his whole life, wanted to sacrifice his own son in exchange for the general’s remaining bloodline. I was a little bitter, and a little unable to understand. But, looking at the cold light reflected off the blade, I knew what I wanted to do—–to live. I didn’t want to die. I haven’t worn silk brocade, haven’t tried delicacies around the world, haven’t traveled through mountains and seas…Why did I have to die because my father wanted me to? A sword slashed down, red blood splashed on that honorable face. I suddenly felt that my father and I were very different. From our looks to our minds. Father fell, revealing the frightened Young Master behind. He clutched his clothes tightly, face as white as a ghost. Feeling a little bored, I wiped the blood off the blade, then turned and left through the hidden passage in the cellar.

That hidden passage was discovered by me when I was a kid. At the end of the passage was a lake, on the opposite shore was the countryside. Young Master followed me quietly the whole time. When I was about to jump in, he held me back with a pale face.

“I, I don’t know how to swim.”

“How’s that my business?” 4wHPcq

I didn’t like him. I’ve disliked him ever since we were young, even when he was the master, and I was the servant. After the general mansion was burned to ashes, there was no longer a chain to tie me down in this wide world, everything was now none of my business. Young Master cried. He cried very grievously. He said I was a bad guy, a scoundrel, then rubbed his tears and snot all over me. Looking at that tiny, wrinkly face, it reminded me of the red-eyed rabbit I raised in childhood, I suddenly felt soft.

“Call me gege, then I’ll protect you.”
