Three years after the Xuanhe era began, the Huaide Army was stretched beyond its limits. The Western Xia forces marched south in great numbers, ready to capture more cities.
The reinforcements sent to help had once been bandits, before surrendering to the imperial court. Their leader, Commandery Princess Qiao Yu, took a fancy to Yue Mingxuan, the young master of the Yue household. His family had long been among the Western Xia's designated targets for extermination. To protect him, she made him her live-in son-in-law. Unaware of the truth, Young Master Yue clung to the principle that a man may be killed, but never humiliated, and refused to yield even at the cost of his life. He even smashed his head against a pillar and died. Fortunately, modern-day CEO Yue Mingxuan transmigrated into his body and was reborn. He became a peerless God of War, helping Qiao Yu bring prosperity to the common people. Through battle after battle, the two forged genuine feelings for each other.
