In her previous life, Shen Zhiwei was a pharmacology researcher in the national special operations logistics corps. She died during a desert expedition, and woke up as a concubine-born daughter in the prime minister’s household. Her family was implicated in a treason case and executed to the last. As a member of a condemned family, she was exiled to the Western Desert, where not a blade of grass grew and sandstorms devoured everything, and forcibly assigned in marriage to a disabled border guard.
All the other condemned women fought over handsome young officers with promising futures. Shen Zhiwei alone chose Lu Jin, the man everyone avoided.
An arrow had pierced his left shoulder, both his legs were frostbitten, and rumors said he had caused the deaths of three fellow soldiers. His entire pay was withheld, and he lived in a broken kiln buried in the dunes. The whole army considered him a waste of space.
Everyone laughed at her for choosing her own doom.
Only Shen Zhiwei knew that Lu Jin, with a keen edge in his eyes and extraordinary endurance, was the Western Desert’s strongest fighter.
She awakened the power to transform barren soil into fertile earth. She grew grain in poisoned soil, made medicine from deadwood, and dug wells in the sand, turning the barren dunes into thousands of acres of fertile farmland. Short on food? She filled the military granaries with three harvests a year. Wounded soldiers everywhere? She concocted miraculous medicine that saved a thousand lives. Enemies invade? She laid traps in the sand and cut off their escape routes.
Later, Lu Jin cleared his name, was honored as the God of War of the Western Desert, and took command of a hundred thousand border troops. The whole army knew that the God of War showed no mercy in battle, but always bowed his head and yielded to his condemned wife. “My military authority, my life, and the vast lands stretching ten thousand miles are all yours, my lady.”
