Hong Shi was the daughter of a general in the Northern Wei Dynasty in her previous life. She believed in the false friendship between her concubine and her fiancé, which eventually led to the destruction of her family and her unjust death. Rebirth back to the age of fifteen is a critical moment for the family's fate. Relying on the memory of her past life, Hong Shi transformed from an innocent boudoir lady into a scheming "Black Lotus". She took advantage of the information gap to preemptively expose the conspiracy between her concubine and her fiancé and resolve the family crisis. However, this is only the first step in troubled times. The Northern Wei Dynasty was decadent, the noble families monopolized the government, and the children of poor families were like grass. Hong Shinu disguised herself as a man and joined the army as her elder brother, honing her military skills and strategies in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Not only does she want to avenge her former enemies, but she also wants to challenge this corrupt world. When she rose to prominence on the battlefield, she faced the danger of her identity being exposed, as well as emotional entanglements with two completely different men: one was a loyal general whom she missed in her previous life, and the other was a prince of an enemy country who fell in love with her. Hong Shi must make a choice between revenge, family, country and love. Finally, as a woman, she stirs up troubles in this male-dominated world and makes those high-ranking noble families tremble.
Purpose: The society of the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into four classes: nobles, poor families, commoners and slaves. The aristocratic clans monopolized power through marriage and official positions, while the poor families had difficulty in promotion despite their talents. There was fierce party struggle within the imperial court, and there were powerful enemies outside.
