Five years after being abducted, Shen Jinghong, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, returns and becomes known in the capital as the “Living King of Hell.” As soon as she gets home, she beats up her half-brother for bullying an old servant, argues the hypocritical cousin Liu Yiyi to tears, and exposes her stepmother’s scheme to skimp on her allowances. When the noblewomen ostracize her, she shows up at their tea party with wild hawthorn berries and puts them in their place. When Liu Yiyi drugs and frames her, Shen Jinghong simply pushes her into a lotus pond.
Just as everyone closes in on her, the young general Xie Ciyuan arrives in silver armor and snaps, “Who dares lay a finger on my woman?”
A jade pendant reveals that Xie Ciyuan was the “big brother” who rescued her at the border five years ago. From facing their enemies side by side to falling deeply in love, their bond only grows stronger. Before long, everyone in the capital is saying: “Thinking of offending Shen Jinghong? First ask whether General Xie’s sword agrees!”
