Obsessive, cold, and striking enemy general x weak, helpless, laid-back female college student
Mu Lingyuan, a general of the Ye Kingdom, is ambushed on the battlefield and taken prisoner. She is sent to the residence of the little princess of the Yun Zhao Kingdom as a slave. The princess despises her defiance and uses every means at her disposal to torment her: whipping her, branding her, denying her food and water... even stripping her and wantonly humiliating her.
Mu Lingyuan hates the little princess, who has nothing but a pretty face, with every fiber of her being. Later, she escapes back to the Ye Kingdom, takes command of the army once more, and leads her cavalry to storm the city. The first thing she does is personally have the princess who humiliated her turned into a human pig.
When Chu Yingxin transmigrates into the story, she is holding a red-hot branding iron, with her bare foot planted on Mu Lingyuan's face. The future God of War is chained up and covered in blood, yet she still raises her eyes and glares at Chu Yingxin.
Chu Yingxin's hand trembles, and the branding iron clatters to the ground. Remembering what happened to the original princess, her legs nearly give way.
The next instant, she quickly unlocks the chains, takes off her outer robe, and wraps it around Mu Lingyuan's battered body. Her voice trembles. "D-don't be afraid... From now on, I'll protect you."
Mu Lingyuan, who had been about to die with her: "...?"
Which one of us is supposed to be afraid?
Chu Yingxin looks fearfully at the God of War before her. She thinks that as long as she treats Mu Lingyuan well, she can change the ending where she is turned into a human pig.
But the damn System tells her she must follow the original plot and humiliate the enemy general, making Mu Lingyuan turn dark, or the world will collapse.
Chu Yingxin: Is she not dark enough already?
Listening to the System's urging, Chu Yingxin squeezes her eyes shut and says in a trembling voice, "I-I order you to drink these disgustingly bitter medicines, or-or I'll spank you..."
System: ?
Later, Mu Lingyuan indeed dons her armor again and reclaims the lost territory.
Chu Yingxin breathes a sigh of relief. Before the enemy forces breach the city, she gathers her belongings and flees the palace, changing her name and hiding in a border town.
She never imagined that she would wake up one day to find the town surrounded by a massive army.
Mu Lingyuan, dressed in military uniform, walks slowly toward her.
"Little Highness, did you think I wouldn't find you if you ran all the way here?"
"Little Highness, you promised you'd treat me well from now on. Why are you going back on your word?"
