[Iron-blooded woman general × sickly chief minister | She takes his place at court × he goes on blind dates for her]

After a great victory at the border, Lin Zhaoyue returns to the capital with thirty-two empty coffins in tow.

Three hundred thousand taels of military pay were all recorded as disbursed, yet three thousand soldiers starved to death in a besieged city. She is convinced that Chief Minister Xi Yanche stole the lifesaving funds. He, too, holds hard evidence that she falsified battle losses and keeps a private army.

As the two fight over the last military ledger in the Imperial Study, they open their eyes to find they have swapped bodies.

From then on, they switch at dawn and return to normal at night. They cannot stop until they uncover the truth about the missing military funds.

So Lin Zhaoyue goes to court wearing the chief minister’s face, slams a court tablet onto the imperial desk, and orders the Ministry of Revenue’s granaries sealed in front of the entire court. Xi Yanche puts on the woman general’s red robes and goes on blind dates, scaring away the capital’s powerful families in just three sentences.

To keep each other alive, they have no choice but to live each other’s lives by day and trade the secrets they uncover at night.

He helps her endure her old injuries and finally learns what she has sacrificed for every great victory. She finds the thirteen memorials he submitted demanding back pay and realizes that the treacherous minister she has hated for five years has long been willing to stake his entire family’s lives on the border army.

They once knew best how to send each other to their deaths. Later, they became the only people willing to die for one another.

Then an imperial decree lands in “Xi Yanche’s” hands:

Within three days, General of the Northern Garrison Lin Zhaoyue is to be executed.

If she obeys, her body will die and his soul will perish. If she defies the decree, his entire family will be charged with treason.
