A resolute, cool-headed physician who hides a ruthless streak x a cunning young general hopelessly in love
Fang Yining lost her mother when she was young, then was driven from her home by her stepmother's scheme.
Ten years passed with no one asking after her.
When she accidentally discovers that there was more to her mother's death, she plots her return to the capital, only to find another conspiracy waiting for her.
Her father and stepmother see her as a pawn to trade for wealth and glory, unaware that she is the one moving the pieces.
To avenge her mother's murder, she is willing to do whatever it takes and sacrifice everything.
But she never expected to cross paths with that terrifying man, and he is giving her a headache.
When they first met, she was a lonely physician and he was a young soldier stationed at the border.
When they meet again, Fang Yiqing thinks he looks familiar, but she can't quite remember why.
Yet the moment Pei Jiu lays eyes on Ji Yiqing, he can't help crushing the teacup in his hand.
That night, Fang Yining is cornered against a wall.
Looking at the face that haunts his dreams every night, Pei Jiu wants nothing more than to plunge a sword into her heart and see what color her blood is.
Pei Jiu closes in step by step. "I never thought Lady Fang would be the kind of heartless woman who puts on a dress and pretends not to know me."
Fang Yining has nowhere left to retreat. "General Pei, please behave yourself."
