Added DiffLines:

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Ping loses a lot of friends in the war [[spoiler: along with his right eye and most of the use in his left arm]] and struggles with his gender identity. But, even though there are those [[spoiler: like his mother]] who'll never accept him, he has a promising future with Shang and confidence in who he's become.
* IHaveNoSon: Ping's mother, after losing her husband, refuses to consider Ping her son, remembering him only as Mulan and stating that Mulan died the day that Ping went off to war. As hurt as he is, Ping takes comfort in the fact that his little brother knows him only as a man.


Added DiffLines:

* ShooOutTheClowns: Mushu is largely absent in the fic, with Zhang Wei largely taking his role as Ping's friend through their early years in the war. [[spoiler: He only appears twice, once in the middle of the fic as confirmation to Ping that his ancestors aren't mad at him for being who he is, and the second time to lead Ping to his little brother (who was a baby when Ping left).]]

* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: There's a over thirteen year age gap between Ping and Yao Er (and an even larger one between Yao Er and his older sister). This gap means that Yao Er doesn't remember Ping after Ping's been gone in the army for ten years. He doesn't remember that Ping was still living as "Mulan" before he left.
