Synopsis One:
Eighteen years ago, 180,000 soldiers from the Jinyuan Kingdom launched a surprise attack. The Jiang Army sacrificed 30,000 soldiers to form a defensive array and hold the northern frontier, leaving behind the infant Jiang You.
The emperor granted Jiang You the title of commandery princess. Eighteen years later, she took command of the Jiang Army.
Just as Jiang You was about to turn eighteen, the Ghost Clan killed her and took her place, leading the Jiang Army in an attack on the imperial palace.
Brought back from the dead, Jiang You advanced two ranks at once, reaching the pinnacle of Sword Emperor cultivation, the highest level in the Lower Nether Realm. She stormed the palace and saved the Ziyue Kingdom.
At the crucial moment, the Ghost Clan escaped.
As Jiang You investigated their whereabouts, she gradually uncovered the truth behind the 180,000 Jinyuan soldiers who had invaded eighteen years ago. It turned out that an even greater conspiracy lay behind it all.
Synopsis Two:
The Ghost Clan had been plotting against Jiang You for thirteen years. To wipe them out in one fell swoop, she faked her death and escaped, only to discover that the Ghost Clan wanted more than her identity and her Jiang Army: they wanted the Ziyue Kingdom.
The Ghost Clan spreads its malice. Miasma kills, smoke signals rise on every side, the emperor lies unconscious under a curse, and the crown prince is under their control. The Ziyue Kingdom is besieged from both front and rear. How will Jiang You fight her way out and carve a path to victory?
