The General Is an Absolute Badass

General Qin Zhao, the Defender of the North, fought for seven years on the northern frontier without a single defeat. But on the day she returned in triumph, an imperial decree stripped her of her military command and confined her to the capital.

Dark undercurrents roil through the capital as the various factions continually test her, hoping to see the mighty female general humiliated.

She watches coldly from the sidelines. Before her blade is even drawn, the city's nobles are already walking on eggshells.

Only Pei Xingzhi, the heir apparent, comes to see her every day. He pays no heed to the rumors or the political situation, asking her only this:

“Qin Zhao, if you want the world, I'll win it for you. If you want the throne, I'll fight by your side.”

At last, she raises her eyes, her gaze as sharp as ice. “I only want a world that no longer holds me back.”

From then on, amid the political turmoil of the imperial capital, she cuts through every obstacle with a single stroke.

He follows wherever her blade points, and together they are unstoppable.
