Su Yuexi discovers that the ancient painting in her home is up to no good. It loves picking up ancient junk and is always stealing her things.
Later, she discovers that the painting connects the past and present.
Through it, she meets a young general from ancient times who has been exiled by a foolish emperor.
On the road to exile, the young general sees the wealthy feast while the poor freeze in the streets. The north suffers drought year after year, the south is devastated by floods, the land lies in ruins, and the nation is on the brink of collapse.
That foolish emperor… He can take no more.
He prays for the ancestors of the Pei family to answer his plea and grant him food and weapons. He's going to rebel!
Su Yuexi waves a hand. “Granted!”
With the ancient painting as their link, supplies pass between past and present. From rice, flour, cooking oil, and salt to military weapons, she helps her young general recruit troops and build an arsenal spanning the ages. They discuss everything from Sun Tzu's Art of War to modern warfare.
The young general wins battle after battle!
Likewise, when Su Yuexi is humiliated and bullied by the family of the real heiress and is about to end up on the streets, her general sends her a fortune in antiques, helping her reach the peak of wealth.
Later, the general sends her a marriage proposal.
Later still, he sends her a phoenix crown and bridal robes.
You gave me success in my youth; I will give you three lifetimes of happiness.
With heaven and earth as witness, when the day comes that we meet, I will welcome you with a grand bridal procession and never let you down.
Forget it if the heroine is useless. . . The male protagonist, the general, also feels like he has no brains!
He was indecisive and could not find any feeling of passion. Xiaobaiwen was very bland.
