[Coolheaded, calculating female strategist | Purehearted, puppy-like general] Later on, [the brooding, obsessive wolf-dog side of the male lead explodes] Set in a fictional world! Girls help girls.
Who would have thought? The scar-faced general, who struck terror into enemy forces and kept civilians at a distance, was actually a lovesick man, purehearted and painfully insecure!
To avenge her mother, she obeys an imperial decree and marries into the general’s household. Expecting a cold political marriage, she is instead moved by his clumsy yet sincere affection. They come to understand one another and join forces to destroy their enemies. Just as everything seems settled, she fakes her death and vanishes without a trace.
Ten years later, she returns to the capital, gravely ill.
An old friend is gone, the throne has changed hands, and a storm is brewing at court. She puts her past behind her, takes up an official post under an assumed name, and vows to help her best friend seize the throne.
But she cannot keep her identity hidden forever.
Now she must face the husband who waited for her for ten years, her own flesh-and-blood father, and old friends whose loyalties lie elsewhere.
With love and hatred, family ties, and political intrigue all tangled together, can she make it out unscathed this time?
