Jiang Yu, a modern policewoman, accidentally transmigrates into Jiang Zhiyun, the legitimate daughter of a once-prominent military family fallen on hard times. War is breaking out all around them, and she has a three-year-old son. Together with a maid and her family, she leads the villagers on a desperate flight from famine. She had hoped to raise her son in peace, but with war raging and the people suffering, the foolish emperor and corrupt officials care nothing for the people. If that's how things are, then she'll lead everyone in taking up arms and finding a new ruler to serve.
The heroine takes her son along as they fight their way to the top. No romance.
