By Your Side, I Rise to the Clouds

Young General Ling Yun came from a prestigious lineage and was a peerless martial artist. He had guarded the frontier for three years without a single defeat. The great general had repeatedly suggested that Ling Yun marry his beloved daughter, but Ling Yun had always declined.

Unable to take it any longer, she left a letter of separation and walked away with her head held high. Only when he saw her familiar handwriting did the Regent finally wake from his dream...
