The Boss Lady Has a Hibiscus Face and a Rakshasa Heart

Jin Fu is a notorious smiling demon known far and wide.

She has a lovely face and a honeyed tongue, but she is ruthless when she strikes.

She sold off the senior wife who had abused her, killed the father who wanted to send her away as a concubine, and even chopped off her own brother's hand.

At just nineteen, she climbed a mountain of corpses to take her father's place, becoming the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

Jin Fu ruled her first half of life, but was defeated by a single word: love.

For the three times Major General Yang Wenzong had saved her life amid the chaos of war, she married him.

But she never expected him to deceive her and make her his concubine.

Yang Wenzong already had a wife.

His wife, Shen Wenchun, was a traditional woman, full of the schemes of the inner household, and she left Jin Fu battered and broken.

Jin Fu lost her first child, and she lost the Black Tiger Gang she'd built alongside her comrades. She became a beast trapped in the inner household.

She refused to accept it.

On the night of the Lantern Festival full moon, she set fire to the major general's residence, hoping to drag Shen Wenchun with her to the grave.

But she failed.

When she opened her eyes again, Jin Fu had returned to the time when she'd just taken control of the Black Tiger Gang.

Yang Wenzong appeared before her once more, as if descended from heaven, helping her and the gang escape the Japanese army's encirclement.

As they neared Tianjin, Yang Wenzong asked Jin Fu in front of all his men whether she would marry him.

Unlike in her previous life, she didn't nod. She covered her mouth and smiled.

"The land is still in turmoil, so why does the division commander have time to think of such romantic affairs?"

(A large ensemble cast, with plenty of gang conflicts and revenge, and less romance. Not a groveling-to-win-her-back story.)
