Its the 17th century

Liu Zhong, the former army commander under the king of Taiwan.

After winning the war that was threatening the kingdom at the time, he decided to take a step back to travel and explore another part of the world.

He took a ship and travelled to England. He became a very influential navy merchant, really just a fancy word for royal pirate, trading between Taiwan and England.

He met a woman, Chinese from origin, who was working as maid and translator for a wealthy chinese family.

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, and her name was Lucy

The pair fell in love in secret because Lucy was just a maid who belonged to a rich family, so she wasn't allowed to date someone, let alone an influential rich man

After a few years of their secret relationship, Lucy got pregnant. What was even worse then having a relationship with a man of Zhong's status, was getting pregnant, escpecially before marrige.

So Zhong proposed to her, to which she said yes

Luckily by now Zhong was the most influential navy merchant between England and Asia, and handeling the family she worked for was not a big deal for him

So 9 months later they were married and their daughter was born

Liu Y/n was a very loved girl, she was always protecting the people she cared about and was very humble

She was smart and kind like her mother, and stongminded and brave like her father

She learned alot from watching her father closely in doing buisness and also when it came to self defence

He always thought it was important that one would could defend themselfs, men and women

So Y/n began her training at an early age, and since she kinda enjoyed it, she brightend her horizons and learned to handle different weapons and fighting styles, making her father a proud man

Her mother on the other hand was worrying about her all the time. She knew her daughter was more than capable but she still jumped into overprotective mother mode whenever Y/n came home covered in bruises

They were a very happy family and everything went well, until one night

Y/n was just 14 years old and sound asleep in her bed, tired from a day of training. On the other side of the wall however, the situation was different

Zhong was woken up by the loud coughing sound of his wife. She couldn't stop and both of them were struck by fear when they saw the blood stains that Lucy had just coughed up

After that day it only got worse. She was diagnosed with something that nowadays would be turberculosis aka the 'white death'

There was no cure, and all of them had to except that they didn't have very long left with her

Y/n became a mess. She became angry, she felt so helpless and scared. She didn't know how to be without her mother

After a few months, Lucy's suffering finally came to an end. But the pain didn't stop for the onces she left behind

Y/n had only her father left, and with the fear of losing him as well, she decided to train even harder, so that one day she could become her fathers right hand, keeping him out of danger

Y/n is now a 23 year old woman, and she has come a long way. She became her fathers right hand as she hoped for, protecting and helping him like she couldn't do for her mother

Zhong had recieved a letter from the king of Taiwan, asking him to come back to the country, and serve as the commander of his army again

Ever since his beloved wife died, he felt depressed living in this country, no longer feeling like home

So now with a reason to go back to his motherland, he took his ship and crew, and he sailed back with his daughter by his side, awaiting a new future.
