Shen Qingyuan, a special forces medic whose soul has transmigrated into the legitimate daughter of a military family, flings down the imperial marriage edict: her future husband is Helian Jue, the decisive and ruthless Prince Regent.
Jin Yuexi, an all-around academic ace who knows astronomy above and geography below, transmigrates into the daughter of the prime minister's household and declares with a single golden word: she was betrothed in childhood to Helian Jing, the smiling, scheming crown prince.
Elope? A game of annihilation for your entire clan.
Stay? Straight into a den of wolves and a battlefield of bloodshed.
So...
One dons her armor and rides into battle, racking up military achievements in the northern frontier until they hit the ceiling, all to win the right to choose her own wedding date.
The other pulls the strings at court, helps the crown prince build his kingdom, and pitches him a business plan, only for their "contract marriage" to end in tragedy.
When they join forces to tear up the script for the fight over the throne, the capital runs red with blood. One best friend clutches a crown prince on the brink of death, while the other stands before the Prince Regent. Only then do they understand that being the heroine of your own life means saving the world before saving yourself.
In the end, Jin Yuexi, dressed in plain robes and ruling from behind the curtain, becomes history's first "Empress Dowager Sir" to govern from behind the curtain. Shen Qingyuan lays down her armor and returns to the countryside, traveling the world and practicing medicine with her warrior-god husband, leaving behind a legend of a chivalrous couple.
The court historian records just one line: "In the Sheng Dynasty, women could attend school, establish households, and choose their own spouses. The pioneers were Shen Qingyuan and Jin Yuexi."
