In her previous life, she was a founding female general whose military achievements made her a threat to the throne. Her loyal remains lay buried in the sand, and only her sworn enemy, Prince Yan, gave them a proper burial and revealed the love he had secretly harbored for half his life. When she opened her eyes again, Shi Yunqi had become Shi Yue, a spoiled heiress hated by everyone in a modern wealthy family. Memories flooded back: the original Shi Yue had been adored by all, yet a venomous best friend schemed to have her killed, while she trampled the sincere love of her devoted parents and three older brothers who doted on their little sister. Now, the iron will of a battle-hardened general had been replaced by the pampered life of a rich young lady. Seeing her family gathered around her hospital bed, cautious and red-eyed, something in her heart softened. Having once been an orphan, she would no longer seek a legacy of loyalty and honor. In this life, she only wanted to protect the warmth she had lost and found again.
Then, at a grand society banquet, her eyes met those of Yan Beichen, the head of the Yan Group. In the man’s deep eyes burned a quiet flame that had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, along with a familiarity etched into his very bones. His fingers brushed the wine glass. A barely audible sigh rang in her ears like thunder: “General… It’s been a long time.”
Her best friend was still smiling insincerely and sowing discord, while business rivals laid traps to bring her down. She slowly curved her lips into a smile. Good. Let’s see how she uses a general’s strategies and wisdom to protect her whole family in this modern world, while settling the romantic debt she and the sworn enemy who had come looking for her had carried for two lifetimes.
