[Female General × Emperor] An iron-blooded heroine safeguards the realm; a ruler and his trusted confidante share a legacy for the ages
She has returned from hell, not to claim the empress’s throne, but to become a prince in her own right.
Shen Jinghong was once a favored daughter of heaven, until her family was destroyed overnight. She erased her name and became “Gu Bei,” fighting her way up from an ordinary soldier on the northern frontier to become the “Sun Scorching Spear,” a warrior feared by enemy troops. After pacifying the Northern Di, she is hailed for unparalleled achievements, yet faces the hardest choice of all: should she remain anonymous and live out her days in obscurity, or confront her true identity and shoulder authority and responsibility enough to crush anyone?
He rules the realm, yet grants the sharpest sword and his deepest trust to one person alone.
The new emperor, Xiao Jue, grew up amid the brutal struggles of the imperial palace, with danger lurking beneath the throne. The court questions him, and powerful enemies surround the borders, yet he overrules all opposition and entrusts a woman of “unknown origins” with command of the entire northern frontier and the power of life and death. Is this an audacious gamble, or does he already see the resilience and loyalty deep in her soul? He gives her the “Dinghuan” sword and promises her a hereditary fief. He wants more than a subject: he wants a confidante who can stand beside him and gaze upon this vast realm.
Witness how a peerless female commander pierces the prejudices of her age with the point of her spear, joining forces with a wise ruler to forge a legend that transcends convention, founded on absolute trust and shared ideals. The best kind of devotion is not being together day and night. It is you keeping the realm at peace in court while I protect the people at the frontier, each of us shining in our own way beneath the same mountains and rivers.
