[Time-Space Jumps + Defying Fate]
[Overpowered Female General x Hot-Tempered, Dark Puppy-Dog Strategist]
Yan Huan was the strongest female general in Great Zhou. After reclaiming six cities in a row, the whole nation celebrated.
Her family threw her a lavish banquet. As she raised her cup during the feast, she saw a strange vision.
In the future, her closest relatives at the banquet would hunt her down, and she would die at Huang Song Cliff.
Ridiculous. How could that be?
When the vision faded, the strange woman she'd seen in it appeared right before her, offering her a pill that would destroy her.
She began to have doubts.
Then she saw Xie Jue as a young man and Xie Jue in middle age appear at the same time.
She realized the vision showed an unknown future.
She had brought back Strategist Xie, who would one day die fighting by her side.

As middle-aged Xie Jue lay dying, he was consumed by grief.
He had spent his whole life studying military strategy and tactics, analyzing every possibility. How had he still let his liege suffer such a crushing defeat?
Only later did he learn the truth.
A treacherous villain had used family ties to blind his liege.
He couldn't accept it.
If he had another chance, he would never let his liege lose again.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself face-to-face with his younger self, dressed in garish colors that hurt his eyes.
What boundless energy. What frivolity.
No wonder his liege ignored his strategies.
Beat him up!

Young Xie Jue had been running into lunatics lately.
Every one of them looked like him, only older, and they all said the exact same thing.
One: "Idiot."
Two: "Idiot."
Three: "Idiot."
Young Xie Jue: "..." You're all crazy.
Only later did he learn that the people he met in his dreams were versions of himself from different timelines... and that their meeting was a chance to save a doomed scenario where no one was destined to survive.
Yan Huan: "Then we'll carve through their schemes. No one gets out alive!"
