[Sweet and angsty, doting romance, a touch of mystery]
Qin Jinglan is a female general who can fight on the battlefield and win her battles. But an imperial decree binds her to the Fifth Prince, Gu Zhan. She thinks she will never again ride into battle.
Three years after she marries Gu Zhan, unrest erupts at the border. Another imperial decree summons her back and orders her to lead troops into battle.
But Qin Jinglan never expected that not a single person in this war wanted her to return victorious. Even fewer wanted her to come back alive. When a black sword plunges toward her chest, she realizes she has been betrayed. The pain in her heart surges far more fiercely than the sword’s wound.
Reborn, Qin Jinglan is determined to uncover the truth, clear her own name, and clear the names of those implicated by her defeat.
When she meets her former husband Gu Zhan again, he has brought a black coffin. Who is inside? It wouldn’t happen to be her, would it?
Qin Jinglan needs an ally, so she approaches Gu Zhan. After all, you married her, so who better to investigate your own princess consort’s death? Once they agree to work together, Qin Jinglan draws closer to the truth.
But why does it feel as if her heart is no longer her own, while Gu Zhan seems to be growing ever more distant?
Gu Zhan: “If I could live this life over, I would never let you be hurt again, Qin Jinglan...”
