[Coming-of-age romance + two equally powerful leads + satisfying read + devoted couple]

A self-conscious farm girl becomes a renowned female general.

A young man from a fallen family becomes the most powerful chancellor in the court.

Xiao Yu hates her name. She often wonders why she had to be born a girl, why her parents favor her so much less than the others, and why they even gave her a name that’s so embarrassing to say aloud.

Later, the young scholar Xiao Yu takes in passes the imperial examinations, and the first thing he does is change the name that has made her feel inferior for more than a decade.

“Xi He lodges in Yuquan and will not let the setting sun turn east again. From now on, your name is Yuquan.”

After they marry, they expect to spend their lives happily together. But then Princess Yongjia appears out of nowhere, forcing Xiao Yu to disappear without a trace.

After Xiao Yu vanishes, rumors spread that the newly crowned top scholar has gone completely mad. He writes memorials impeaching people every day and has become the sworn enemy of Princess Yongjia.

Two years later, Xiao Yu returns to the capital at the head of a victorious army. The officials breathe a sigh of relief. “Now that his wife is back, he should stop going mad, right?”

But after a while, the officials realize the truth and wail, “Wait, his wife is a military officer now. Doesn’t that mean he’ll be even more overbearing?”
