"Dear General Yuchi, hello.

I solemnly convey to you the latest instructions of the Interstellar Empire, which concerns the future and development of the entire empire. As an important member of the Interstellar Empire, you should fulfill your responsibilities for the interests of the Interstellar Empire.

Currently, the Interstellar Empire is facing a severe population problem. The sharp decline in the number of newborns has seriously threatened the stability and prosperity of the Interstellar Empire. In order to cope with this crisis, the Interstellar Empire government has introduced a series of policies to promote marriage, and you have been paying a high single tax within the scope of the policy implementation.

Now, according to the latest marriage law of the Interstellar Empire, you have been matched with the best marriage partner, with a genetic match of up to 96%. Since you are on a mission, please return to the ship after the mission is completed and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage.

This is a mandatory requirement with legal effect. If you fail to do so, you will face severe penalties in accordance with relevant legal provisions.

I hope you can understand and actively cooperate, and contribute your own strength to the continuation of the Interstellar Empire."

The battleship was speeding through the interstellar channel, and the stars outside the window were passing by like shooting stars, but she had no intention of appreciating them.

Yuchi Chenning stared at the text message, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa, weighing his options in his mind.

She has always devoted herself to the cause of defending the interstellar empire, fighting in the hail of bullets and the whirlpool of interstellar war.

Being single means freedom to her, and it is the guarantee that she can fight on the battlefield without any worries.

She could pay the high single tax without a care in the world. Love and marriage were so far away in her world, as if they were things from another galaxy.

This sudden forced marriage left her a little overwhelmed.

She began to think quickly about how to deal with it in her mind.

Disobey the orders of the Star Empire?

This could cause her to lose all her existing honors and status, and she might even be brought to a military court.

But if I accept this inexplicable arrangement and marry a stranger, what kind of absurd life would that be?

She imagined herself in a wedding dress, and the image was so incongruous, like a ferocious interstellar cheetah locked in an exquisite cage.

Just as Yuchi Chenning was thinking, the communication bracelet lit up again. It was her mother - Marshal Yuchi Mulian.

The star phone rang for a long time before Yuchi Chenning pressed the answer button.

The screen flashed, and his mother's face appeared before his eyes. Yuchi Chenning only felt that the long-lost sense of oppression gradually spread.

As the marshal of the interstellar empire, Yuchi Mulian's majesty remains undiminished even in this private call scene.

Her hair was neatly combed back, and the silver-white hair gleamed with a metallic luster under the light. There was not a trace of disorder in it, just as meticulous as her military career.

The lines on her face are strong, like rock carved by time and war, and every wrinkle is like a story behind a medal of honor.

Those eyes were deep and sharp, revealing an unquestionable seriousness.

"Mother."

Yuchi Chenning nodded slightly and called softly.

"Hmph, I already know about the cleanup operation on Sin Planet 1231. You did a great job. But..."

Yuchi Mulian put down the paperwork at hand, snorted, and looked down at Yuchi Chenning on the other end of the video. "I know you want to reject the Civil Affairs Bureau's marriage request. Do you think this is a joke?"

Her voice was low and majestic, like the roar of a starship taking off, carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

"Mother, I cannot accept this emotionless and forced arrangement, and I am fine on my own."

Yuchi Chenning lowered his eyes, his deep eyes were hidden by his long eyelashes, making it difficult to read.

"Emotions? How can there be emotions when you are in the Yuchi family?"

Yuchi Mulian frowned slightly, his eyes becoming more severe, "Do you think I married your father because of love? We are doing this for the future of the empire and to fulfill our responsibilities. How can you, as a child of the Yuchi family, be so willful?"

"I have my own life, and I can serve the empire in the army. Why must it be measured by marriage?" Yuchi Chenning argued.

"You're too childish."

Yuchi Mulian sneered and raised her voice a few degrees. "Marriage is not just your personal matter, it concerns the stability and development of the entire empire. Your refusal is not only a hasty decision for your own life, but also a blasphemy to the family's reputation. Our Yuchi family has always been the backbone of the Interstellar Empire. The name of the family means responsibility and commitment in the empire.

Think about the ancestors in your family who have won respect for us on the battlefield. They are watching you. Do you want to disappoint them? My expectation for you has never been to let you pursue personal freedom, but to make you the pride of the empire and the family. "

Yuchi Mulian's voice on the other side of the screen was full of unquestionable majesty, trying to make her understand the seriousness of the situation and the interests involved.

"Marriage is not meant to deprive you of your freedom, but to allow you to serve the Empire on another level. You can continue to pursue your military ideals while fulfilling your family responsibilities. The two are not contradictory, but you have not yet learned to balance them. Don't let a moment of willfulness ruin your chance to achieve greatness."

Yuchi Chenning frowned slightly, his eyes a little dim.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, her knuckles turning white.

She couldn't understand what her mother said.

"I'll give you three days to reconsider. Don't let me down." After saying that, Yuchi Mulian ended the call.

The screen went black, and Yuchi Chenning sat alone in the darkness, his inner entanglement tangled like a tangled mess.

Instead of getting entangled, it is better to let the marriage partner give up voluntarily...

Yuchi Chenning suddenly thought of the news Kan Jinzi sent him a few days ago:

The man broke off the engagement and refused to marry the woman. It seemed like just a simple personal choice, but it caused an uproar.

The girl's family filed a lawsuit in court, and the court issued an injunction requiring the man to marry the girl within a specified time, otherwise all assets of the man's family would be frozen and the man would be imprisoned.

All of this is to ensure the smooth progress of this marriage and maintain the seemingly indestructible political stability and order and fairness of the interstellar empire society.

She knew very well that her family also had huge assets and complex interests. If she refused, the consequences would be the same.

This marriage is not just a personal matter, but also concerns the fate of the family and the political stability of the interstellar empire.

The room was very quiet. Yuchi Chenning supported his aching forehead with one finger.

It's just a matter of registering the marriage at the Imperial Civil Affairs Bureau, forget about the wedding.

Being married can save you a lot of trouble.
