During the last years of Emperor Mingzong of Yan's reign, the people worshiped the gods. However, when the northern barbarians invaded with their troops, the gods did not seem to protect these devout believers. The Yan army was defeated and the city was destroyed.
The barbarians like to eat human lambs, especially the unborn fetuses in women's wombs, and children and women are the second most common eaters.
…
The mighty general has a son, his surname is Cen, his given name is Yiduo, and his small name is Xingzhi. He is very smart, the young man is high-spirited and full of ambition, and is famous throughout the country.
The Wan family in Guancheng had a daughter named Laiyi. She was born at the wrong time and had a bad fate. Since Guancheng was massacred by barbarians, she was fostered with her uncle's family in Jiangnan.
After Emperor Mingzong passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, a natural disaster occurred in the south of the Yangtze River. In order not to marry a member of the Song Dynasty, his foolish son Wan Laiyi escaped from the chaos and wanted to rush to Kyoto to join his father's best friend. When passing through Jeju, he couldn't stand the Liu family's bullying, so he testified for others and was brutally retaliated. When his life was hanging by a thread, he was saved by Yunxiu. After some understanding, he found out that the commander who led the army back to the court was actually the son of his father's best friend!
…
The new emperor was fatuous and suspicious. He was afraid that the master of Cen's family would be quick to eliminate him. They colluded inside and outside the court to kill Cen's father in a battle. They also sent Cen Yiduo, who was only 19 years old, to lead his troops to resist the massive attack of Ningguo. Wan Laiyi also went with him. Everyone thought she was just a weak vase, but they did not expect her to come up with strange tricks again and again.
She only said: "The feeling of serving the country is something other than men and women?"
"Although the body is more delicate than a man's, the heart is not inferior to his perseverance. Even though he is born in a woman's body, he still has the ambition to conquer the clouds in his heart."
…
But no matter how hard they try and how smart they are, they still can't turn the tide and help the building collapse.
