Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

My name is Xin Wanyun. I am the youngest daughter of the Xin family. I have two older brothers and two older sisters.

The Xin family is a family of military generals. I have shown amazing talent in martial arts since I was young. I can wield the red tassel spear with great vigor at a young age.

Many people praised her, saying that a tiger father will have a dog daughter.

This obviously made my father very proud, so he liked to hold me in his arms and attend various banquets since I was a child.

The more I participated, the more open my mind became.

I no longer confine myself to being a woman, and I am eager to become better.

But when I looked at the men who were all chatting and laughing, I couldn't help but wonder, why is there not a single woman here?

I don't think women are too bad to sit here. The only reason is that they don't have the opportunity to sit here.

For example, I know clearly that there are many military books in my father's study, but these military books are only allowed to be read by my two brothers, and my two sisters are not allowed to touch them.

Daddy made an exception and allowed me to read it.

I always thought that such a father was a very open-minded father to me.

At least he never put the rules and regulations for women in front of me, nor did he instill in me that getting married and having children is the ultimate destiny for women.

So I tried my best to make myself more dazzling so that my father could always be proud of me.

In this way, can I chat and laugh with them as a girl?

I had a goal and began to study military books and practice shooting harder.

But as I grew older and my thinking matured, I gradually realized that something was wrong.

For example, every time I went to a banquet, my father’s friends would look at me with all kinds of disgusting looks, as if they were looking at an object.

I felt very uncomfortable and told my father about it, wanting him to make the decision for me. I thought my father would be like a mountain to protect me from the wind and rain, but my father just glared at me and told me not to meddle in other people's business.

For example, my father would ask my two older brothers to make friends with those people and introduce them to them diligently.

But all they asked me to do was to show everyone the powerful red tassel spear over and over again.

Amid the cheers, I felt extremely humiliated.

I realized belatedly that I was still just a toy for people's entertainment, just like the woman.

I felt cold all over, as if a huge invisible cage locked me up and made it hard for me to breathe.

I wanted to ask my father for an answer, so I went to his study to ask him clearly.

However, just as I reached the door, I heard my father's voice coming from inside, "Today, the second son of Lord Wang's family has taken a fancy to Wanyun and is willing to exchange engagement cards with us."

Mother trembled and said, "How could it be? Wanyun is still so young..."

"What's wrong with her being young? We're not asking her to marry right away. It's just an engagement. Madam, you should know that as a woman, it's her destiny to contribute to the family through marriage. Didn't you go through the same thing back then?"

"But the Wang family's second son has a bad reputation, and Wanyun is proud and arrogant. I'm afraid she won't agree."

Daddy's voice was devoid of any warmth. "As a daughter of the Xin family, she has no right to disagree."

At that moment, Daddy's shadow was reflected by the oil lamp and swayed at the door, looking like a man-eating ghost.

It turns out that I am no different from my two sisters. We all have a tragedy. It's ridiculous that I still have the delusion of sitting down and chatting and laughing with a man.

I feel so powerless. I have never felt so powerless before.

Why, why is it that a woman's destiny is to sacrifice her marriage for the benefit of her family, while a man can just sit back and reap the benefits without having to pay anything.

Those two brothers are obviously lazy and can't even compare to a finger of mine, otherwise daddy wouldn't have brought them to the party just to save face.

Is it because they are men that they are superior to women, no matter how mediocre and useless they are?

No, I don’t accept my fate!

I want to change this situation. I want to prove to everyone who says women are inferior to men!

That night, I packed my things and left the Xin family, dressed in men's clothes and headed to the border alone.

I thought I left perfectly without anyone noticing, but I didn't see a gentle and loving figure silently watching me walk away from behind.

It was not until the next day that I found a stack of banknotes in the interlayer of the bundle.

My eyes suddenly became red. It turned out that my mother knew everything and saw everything.

I secretly swore that, even for my mother's sake, I must make a name for myself on the battlefield.

The Wang family wanted to see me, but I was already thousands of miles away. Dad tried to trick them several times and find me to save the situation, but he failed after trying several times.

The Wang family thought that Dad was playing a trick on them, and they were angry and wanted to come to the house to ask for an explanation. Dad had no choice but to tell the truth.

The Wang family was full of contempt, saying that they dared not marry such a restless woman, and immediately gave up the marriage.

However, on that day, the news of my escape spread throughout the capital. My father was greatly embarrassed and was so angry that he expelled me from the family tree.

I don't care. Not to mention the family tree, even the household registration should be independent. That way, I'll see how he can decide my marriage as my father in the future.

I didn’t expect that my wish would come true. My father actually went to the government to move my household registration out.

Many years later, I asked him why he did this.

He said, "I sensed that your departure would definitely cause trouble. In order to prevent you from implicating the Xin family, we have no choice but to give up on you as our daughter."

It turned out that his feeling was right, and he avoided being implicated by me because of this action.

With my clever mind and courage, I quickly joined the battlefield. I tried my best to prove that I was no worse than men, and I made great achievements on the battlefield.

I was credited with countless military achievements, and because I was so outstanding, I was promoted all the way to general in a short period of time.

Finally, the day came for the troops to return to the capital.

I was very excited because I knew that success or failure depended on this one move. Whether I could break the shackles and forge new rules, or be swallowed up by the quagmire and become the first bird to stand out, it all depended on the emperor's decision.

Finally, when I had heard enough rewards in the hall, I revealed that I was a woman dressed as a man.

The ending was not unexpected, I failed.

The precedent I wanted was cut off, and I was left destitute and confined to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

The emperor did not allow women to be superior to men, and he thought I was playing a trick on him by dressing as a man.

If I hadn't made great military achievements and enjoyed a high reputation among the people, I have no doubt that he would have killed me directly.

I went to Wanfo Temple alone and lived a life surrounded by green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

Such ups and downs in life are normal. From a general who commands everyone to a monk who chants scriptures and worships Buddha, I adapted quickly.

The noise gradually faded away and I was immersed in the small hut.

If you ask me if I regret it?

Then I can tell you for sure that I have no regrets.

During the countless days and nights of fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, I thought about a lot of things. I thought about the red tassel spear that I was praised for when I was a child, the study that my father made an exception and let me read, and the cruelty of fighting on the battlefield, but I never had a trace of regret.

Because I know that in this unfair world, someone has to stand up and resist. If you keep swallowing your anger, you will never be able to make a breakthrough.

Only one Xin Wanyun was sacrificed today, but in the future there will surely be thousands and thousands of Xin Wanyuns standing up to eliminate this injustice.

I firmly believe in this.

I've been waiting.

One year... two years... ten years.

When I received Song Zhi's letter, I knew that another opportunity was before me.

This time, I will definitely hold on to it.

Song Zhi was a smart girl and extremely brave. The emperor wanted to kill me, but she saved me, tried hard to get me out of retirement, and provided me with an unprecedented idea.

She said that if the third prince was unable to do it, she would do it herself.

Yes, as long as the person in power is a man, how can he possibly consider the feelings of women?

But what if the one in power is a woman?

I felt the long-lost passion, as if all the blood in my body was instantly ignited, and I was filled with excitement.

My name is Xin Wanyun. I am a cloud that surges freely and unrestrainedly in the sky, a cloud that stretches for thousands of miles and can see through the cold and warmth of the world.

Now, I want to start again as the cloud that protects women who are taking their first steps.

I'm leaving the mountain.

This time, I will definitely win!
