Yeah, as I explained, I'm re-writing all my chapters. Hoping to make them a bit shorter and easier to read, because when I read my old chapters the other day. I had no idea why so many of you supported me. Xx. But I thank you for all the past comments people have given me, and hope I can attract some new readers? Hope you like the re-vision of chapter 1!

Chapter 1: My Wonderful Life

Qing Wan's POV-

"Wait for me?" "I promise." Those words have been repeating in my head for the past eight months. It seemed like no matter how I looked at things, or what I do. My mind can't stop reflecting back to that tragic day eight months ago. Sure, to most of the people in the world, that day was just an ordinary day, but for me…it was a day of sorrow and loss. These past eight months have been pretty hectic for me and my comrades in the Kingdom of Wu. Especially me. Many times these eight months I've gotten many people trying to advise me, to forget about him. To forget about the sadness I was locking away in my heart. Yet, I want to ask them sometimes. Would you want to forget someone you love so much? To just erase them from your mind and live on normally? It was one of those things, that was easier said than done.

Slowly I dragged myself out of my bed and sat on the wooden stool, yawning I opened a little snack basket I used to keep dried food in. Breaking the onion cake in half, I was aroused by the smell through my taste buds. Once again I had missed morning meal, it was something that I've been doing for the past two weeks. I didn't know why, but something just keep bugging me that I couldn't seem to wake up in time and attend to my normal duties. Pouring myself a cup of hot tea, I was startled by a loud knock on my door. "Come in." I replied, not bothering to look up at the guest in front of me.

"JIE!" a sharp and squeaky voice screeched in my right ear, I winced to stare at my twin sister Xiang Wan. Even though we were twins, if you brought the two of us to the great Zhuge Liang he wouldn't know that we were related. We didn't have anything in common, from our looks to our personalities. I often wondered if I was adopted. "JIE!" She shouted again. Ignoring her I got up from my seat and trailed my fingers across the stack of books I had kept on my table. Grabbing the familiar green covered one; I returned to my seat and began reading. "I know you're ignoring me. You can stop that you know." I raised my right eyebrow up at her and chuckled. "Why are you laughing? Books AREN'T supposed to be happy."

"This isn't a book." I told her strictly, "This is called a journal. This is Lu Xun's journal." I said softly. Lu Xun…that name would always trail in my head like a horrible epidemic. Lu Xun Bo Yen was a general tactician of Wu Kingdom, we were lovers, we were soul mates. But fate chose to tear us apart on our wedding day…and to this day I've never forgotten our promise…

(Flashback)

"Is the groom prepared to kick the door?" The short stubble woman shouted loudly, I grinned under my red silk wedding veil and laughed at the cheering outside. We were in the city of JianYe for our wedding day. Even though with two Wu generals that were getting married, it was quite dangerous and hard for all of our friends and family to attend. Especially with the current war raids that happened almost every day. So Lu Xun and I just decided to celebrate with the villagers in the place we first met, the city of Jian Ye. I looked around the small carriage I was carried in, I had to admit it was really stuffy here and I wished for Lu Xun to kick the door a bit faster. I straightened my red gown that was a gift from my adoptive father, Sun Jian. This was a dress worn by Lady Sun herself many years ago. It was said to bring good luck because Lady Sun gave birth to three strong and beautiful children. On my neck was a giant chain necklace with a golden pig on the bottom. This was an ancient custom in China, where it was said to bring the wearer maternity luck. On my wrists were several jade and golden bracelets, all which were gifts from the Lu family. "Ready Lord Lu Xun?" the woman shouted again, I closed my eyes preparing for the impact of his foot and the carriage, but instead the sound of a ringing bell interrupted me.

"What's that noise?" the villagers questioned, the voices rising all around me. "It's the sound of the war gong!" one shouted and soon havoc struck our small city. Opening the doors of the carriage, I stepped out in my wedding gown and stood beside Lu Xun, dressed in a black and red formal suit.

"Is it bad?" I whispered to him, I felt his hand grip on to mine tightly.

"Lord Lu Xun, Lady Cheng." A soldier dressed in red kneeled in front of us, "Enemy targeted, it seems to be the forces of Shu approaching the JianYe border."

"An attack at this time?" Some villagers cried, "That scoundrel Liu Bei!"

"Have you identified the leaders of this raid?" Lu Xun asked, his voice stern. The soldier nodded.

"It is General Ma Chao and Tactician Pang Tong."

I'm going to try to start and end the chapter the same was as the old one. I hope this was kind of easier to read and less useless information was put in here. It's going to take a bit of time for me to re-write all 13 chapters. But I hope someone will enjoy it. Please? XX
