Su Wanning was the daughter of the General Who Pacifies the North. She grew up in a military camp on the northern frontier, skilled in both letters and arms, with a lively, fiery temperament. Everyone called her the Little General.
When she was fourteen, Beishuo launched a massive invasion. The brutal war took many of her friends and relatives. In a single night, she shed her childishness and shouldered the weight of hardship.
She poured all her unbearable pain into letters. She only meant to ease her sorrow, but by a twist of fate, the letters were sent out and ended up in the hands of Xie Yuheng, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's commander.
Xie Yuheng had lost his entire family and was all alone, his heart a desolate wasteland. The letters from the northern frontier became his only comfort, slowly healing him.
From then on, all his hopes came from the military camp on the northern frontier.
Su Wanning never knew who was writing back.
When the war on the northern frontier ended, Su Wanning returned to the capital with the victorious army. Xie Yuheng was ordered to welcome them, and at last he saw the young woman he had yearned for over so many years.
Unfortunately, their first meeting was marred by a misunderstanding. Su Wanning took his attempt to approach her as deliberate provocation and repeatedly fought back. Xie Yuheng wasn't annoyed. Instead, he secretly rejoiced that she was willing to acknowledge him.
The peace at court was only a facade. Beneath the surface, undercurrents swirled, as Prince Jing's faction grew corrupt, committed evil, and threw the government into chaos.
Su Wanning and Xie Yuheng joined forces with a group of upright young nobles to investigate the conspiracy, only to discover that Prince Jing was merely a pawn. Once he realized the truth, Prince Jing chose to join them, and together they uncovered secrets buried for twenty years. The turmoil also implicated the two countries of Beishuo and Ximo.
As the layers of mystery fell away, the villains were finally punished.
Through fighting side by side again and again, the two of them also cleared up their misunderstandings and fell in love. From then on, they traveled across the land of Da Jing together, journeying far and wide, rooting out evil, helping the weak, and bringing justice to an unjust world.
