That was incredible. I’m shook at the ending. I loved this story for its prose. 
Just to get it off my chest, this is not history; yet the retelling of the legend of Xishi. 
The way this story is told… it’s just *chefs kiss* beautiful. So romantically tragic, all the way through. I cried when the mission came to an end. I don’t have the words to express how much I loved this story.
