The Place to Return: The General Reigns Supreme

The General Above

Jiang Nian'an never imagined that one bizarre transmigration would send her life completely off course.

She transmigrated into the body of a penniless farm girl. Amid the borderlands' sandstorms, she mended battle robes, brewed medicinal soup, and saved one young soldier after another from piles of corpses. She thought she was simply struggling to survive in another world, until she met him.

Gu Yanzhi, the general who had guarded Yanmen Pass for ten years. He was so poor his pockets were empty, yet he gave his last padded coat to a soldier. Using three silver arrowheads that had saved his life on the battlefield, he made her a crude hairpin. He planted two osmanthus trees for her in the Marquis's manor garden, but before he could tell her, she disappeared.

Three years later, Jiang Nian'an returned to the modern world, thinking everything was over. She went back to being an ordinary designer who worked nine to five, drawing designs in an office cubicle. She lived in a north-facing, twenty-nine-square-meter apartment, ate twenty-yuan takeout, and pretended nothing had ever happened.

Until that man appeared downstairs from her apartment.

He wore an ill-fitting overcoat and knelt on one knee on the tiled floor of the lobby. His dark eyes reflected her unfamiliar short hair and modern clothes.

“My wife,” he said. “Your humble general has come too late.”

An ancient general gives up his marquisate, his military command, and his entire world. He crosses the crack in time and arrives in an era where he understands nothing. He can't use elevators or order takeout, and he can't read simplified Chinese. The only thing he owns is a one-yuan coin he picked up beside a flower bed.

He used that coin to buy her breakfast.

This is the story of two people who feel out of place in both their worlds.
