Shen Xijun is the legitimate daughter of the Defender-General's household. Her father and brothers died serving their country, leaving only her and her mother to depend on each other. To console the family, the emperor granted the Defender-General's household to the court. On the eve of her wedding, urgent news arrived from the front: the newly ennobled Marquis of Zhenbei, Gu Huaian, had to don his armor and leave for battle. After Gu Huaian left, Shen Xijun waited for him for six years. She supported his entire family with her dowry, but when the husband she had awaited for six years finally returned, he brought back another woman and declared that he intended to take her as a secondary wife. Shen Xijun realized that those six years had been a joke.
With a divorce agreement, she resolved to cut ties with this ridiculous family. From then on, she pursued her childhood dream and became the only female general in the Kingdom of Zhao, declaring that the Defender-General's household had no weak women.
When she became the kingdom's only female general, a man suddenly appeared in her bed. It was none other than the man who, back when the emperor had arranged her marriage to Gu Huaian, was still the crown prince and was now the reigning emperor. He declared that he would make her his empress and keep the harem empty for her.
But Shen Xijun no longer believed a word men said. She kicked the emperor to the ground.
“Your Majesty, it's the middle of the night. You should be asleep. Is it really appropriate to come crawling into your subject's bed?”
“I think General Shen should consider my proposal. It's not good for a woman to stay at home all the time; people will gossip. I don't mind your past, so what are you complaining about?”
“Your Majesty, I already made it clear that I want to remain unmarried for the rest of my life. Please don't make things difficult for me.”
Volume One: After Shen Xijun divorces, she devotes herself to her career, while Lin Junchen climbs into her bed.
