"The God of War Princess: From the Beacon Fire at the Border to the Red Makeup in the Capital" tells the story of Xiao Yue (later pseudonym Xiao Yue), the daughter of a general, who grew up in the war since she was a child, and possesses the skills of healing poisons and excellent martial arts. She was accidentally involved in a border war. She was unfamiliar with the battlefield when she first entered it, and then relied on her wisdom and courage to repeatedly overcome dangers. She successively defeated the Huns' attacks, exposed the court's conspiracy, and gradually fell in love with the cold and taciturn King Ye Henghan from testing each other to fighting side by side.
The story is set against the backdrop of the war on the border and interspersed with the undercurrents of the court. Xiao Yue not only has to deal with the Huns' cavalry and witchcraft and poison, but also resolves the power disputes between the princes. She protects her family and country in the light of swords and sticks to her true heart amidst machinations and intrigues. She transforms from a girl who longs for stability into a female general who can take charge of protecting her country on her own. And Ye Henghan also gradually took off his cold armor while getting along with her, revealing his gentle undertones. The two went from being allies on the battlefield to having a heart-to-heart connection. Finally, after quelling the rebellion, they ushered in their red makeup ceremony in the capital. This not only fulfilled their wish for the stability of their family and country, but also became a love affair that transcended the turbulent times of war.
