The Bewitching Beauty Yang

[The female lead is not chaste; the male leads are. The female lead is not a strong heroine.] [An entirely historical-style setting. Aside from the broad historical backdrop, everything else is fictional.] A winding tale, a song of parting sorrows... She is a widow. When she meets them again, they are no longer commoners but have risen to become the Commandant of Justice and a general. Which of the two will be her benefactor? A woman serves only one husband. She swears she will not let either of them toy with her... As the princes vie for power, the Yang family is implicated and falls into ruin. Yang Jitang is confined to her estate and reduced to living in a thatched hut. By chance, she finds a little beggar named Li Yixiu by the mountain road. She teaches him to read and practice martial arts, hoping to gain another ally for the future. In recent years, the Hu have been moving south. Li Yixiu joins the army and meets Fan Yiyi, who is traveling under an assumed name. The two rely on each other for survival on the battlefield. By then, the Crown Prince has fallen and a new emperor has taken the throne. Her childhood sweetheart and husband dies miserably in prison, while Yang Jitang and her child are reduced to life in a brothel overnight... When she meets the two men again, the boys she once knew have grown into graceful young men.
