[Strong heroine + clever schemes + female general + investigations + ensemble of women]
[Bold, forthright beauty heroine × insecure, arrogant, love-struck male lead]
One-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced
Xi Jiangyue, the eldest daughter of the Duke’s mansion, is strikingly beautiful. A fortune-teller once declared that she was born with the fate of a bewitching seductress who would bring rulers to ruin, and before she came of age, she was forcibly sent to a country estate to live in seclusion. Everyone in the capital says she refuses to stay chaste and seduces men wherever she goes, with countless admirers at her feet. Some even claim she was born to be a courtesan and belongs in a brothel.
But no one knows that the masked Ghost-Faced General Yue Jiang, the blood-soaked terror of the borderlands who can make children stop crying at night, is one and the same person as this breathtaking young lady.
She destroys the Yan Kingdom, pacifies the Northern Hu, and supports a princess... When the female emperor ascends the throne and appoints her the General Who Guards the Nation, the Grand Preceptor, who has been in seclusion for a long time, removes her mask with his own hands and makes the name Xi Jiangyue known throughout the land.
But why does this Grand Preceptor look more and more like the male concubine from the Yan Kingdom whom she keeps at her estate?
