A Phoenix's Power in Chaotic Times: The General Is a Woman!

> She is the most cherished young lady in the Northern Pacification General’s household. But when her elder brother is gravely wounded and near death, she binds her hair, dons armor, and takes his place on the battlefield, entering a landscape of corpses and bloodshed.

> After three years of war, she has made the name “Jade-Faced Asura” feared across the nations. Her battle honors are legendary, yet no one knows she is a woman.

> When the enemy crown prince hosts a banquet meant to entrap her, she rides there alone. After a few rounds of wine, the prince suddenly grabs the hand holding her cup. “General, your fingers are so slender. They look more like a young lady’s.”

> The court is rife with intrigue. The old emperor lies gravely ill, and the princes’ struggle for the throne stains the palace steps with blood.

> With a mighty army at her command, she becomes a pawn courted by every faction and is even elevated to regent, ruling the realm in the emperor’s stead.

> At the height of her power, the heir she grew up with leads an army to defend the throne and lays siege to the city, sword pointed at her throat. “Traitor! You have deceived the emperor and usurped his authority. You must die!”

> She smiles and removes her crown, letting her long hair cascade down. “Am I the only one who deceived the emperor? Even the imperial jade seal you revere as sacred is a counterfeit I carved with my own hands.”
