Dong Tingzhen's throat churned, "Cousin can even go to the battlefield like men. Even though she is a woman, she makes a name for herself among nations and becomes a fierce general feared by all. This is something many men can't achieve! I really envy that cousin can make decisions for her own life and control her direction!"
When Dong Tingzhen was a child, she saw Bai Qingyan and King of Zhen, Bai Weiting, sparring with bamboo swords in the courtyard. After returning, she tried to mimic with bamboo but was scolded by her mother. She wanted to ride a horse but was forced to learn embroidery. She wanted to practice martial arts but was forced to learn the zither.
She had never made a decision for her own life.
