“When a sweet, spoiled little princess and a cold, cunning military officer switch bodies...”
Chu Ci, the little princess Zhaoyang, has been doted on in Great Chu for eighteen years. Then her soul suddenly lands in the most popular storybook in the capital, A Military Officer's Darling in the 1980s.
She becomes Chu Ci, the wicked supporting character who courts death at every turn and meets a tragic end.
On her first day, before she can even get used to her new surroundings, she unexpectedly switches souls with the story's cold-faced, terrifying military officer!
And so the military district is thrown into chaos:
Their Colonel Gu, who can train three full companies to tears, has been acting strangely lately.
He eats in tiny bites, faints at the sight of blood, jumps at the sight of bugs, and needs a light left on because he's afraid of the dark.
The soldiers whisper among themselves: “Is our colonel possessed?”
Meanwhile, Red Star Production Brigade is in an uproar too:
After falling into the water and waking up, Chu Ci, who had ruined her reputation chasing Colonel Gu, suddenly seems like a different person.
She can lift a hundred jin of grain with one hand, devours her food, and puts her provocative cousin in her place until she questions her whole life.
Forced to stick together, the two clean up each other's messes amid endless chaos.
Using her body, he puts her awful relatives through a military-style overhaul, making the whole family fall in line through “persuasive force.”
Using his identity, she resolves conflicts in the military district with courtly wisdom and accidentally earns a reputation as a “scholar-general.”
Then, one day, their souls return to their rightful bodies.
Watching the pampered girl complain that work is tiring while dazzling the art troupe with courtly dance, Gu Lin's gaze grows more intense.
