When Bai Qingsi was fourteen, both her parents died. On her eighteenth birthday, her older brother died in a car accident while on his way to celebrate with her.
At twenty-one, she transmigrated to another world.
There, she found the brother who had died in that accident four years earlier, and became the eldest daughter of the general’s household.
Her father doted on her, and her brothers spoiled her.
But the general’s household had grown too powerful, making them a thorn in the emperor’s side. He wanted to eliminate them.
On the day Bai Qingsi was to marry Mu Qingchi, the emperor fell unconscious, and the entire Bai family was falsely accused and thrown into prison. News arrived from the border: the enemy army had invaded Beimu and already captured five cities.
The Bai family was pardoned on the condition that they atone through service, and was sent to the border.
