In her previous life, Jiang Wanqing trusted the wrong man.
As the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she once saved Lu Jinglan, a general's son, helped him rise to success, and promised to spend her life with him.
In the end, he broke off their engagement for the woman he cherished, framed the Jiang family, and had them all executed.
When she awakens, she has returned to the moment of their engagement.
This time, she doesn't argue or make a scene. She disguises herself as a man and heads straight for the frontier.
When Lu Jinglan first meets the woman he loves?
She watches coldly from the sidelines.
When he breaks military discipline for a beauty?
She records every offense.
When he treats his soldiers' lives as worthless?
She gathers the evidence and waits for the right moment to close the net.
Everyone thinks she is Jiang Ce, a fallen strategist,
never realizing she is a woman seeking to rewrite her fate.
In the desert, she crosses paths with the Third Prince, Xiao Che, who is training at the frontier. He draws closer to her step by step.
He protects her, trusts her strategies, and understands her restraint.
It turns out there really is someone in this world who has loved her since they were young and silently watched over her ever since.
On her road to revenge, she tears apart the treacherous lovers, restores discipline to the military, and stirs up a storm at court.
Lu Jinglan is consumed by regret, while the woman he loves finds every scheme thwarted and meets a bitter end.
As for Jiang Wanqing, she returns to the capital with military honors, marries a worthy man, wields power over the court, and enjoys a peaceful life.
The man who claimed to repay her kindness proved faithless, while the prince who protected her was sincere.
In this life, she settles every score and follows her heart in love and hate.
