Synopsis
"Your Majesty, I am a woman." Kneeling with blood in front of the palace, the youngest general of the Great King Dynasty personally handed over the secret that could annihilate the nine tribes. After ten years on the battlefield, she was the "White Yama" whose enemies were frightened by the news. From the age of sixteen when she disguised herself as a man and won the top prize in martial arts, to the age of twenty-eight when she defeated the enfeoffed general in the northern border, Bai Qing traded scars all over her body for illustrious military exploits and the suspicion of the entire court. The late emperor Murong Yingqi saw through it without telling her, and privately taught her the "Zhenyue" sword, which symbolizes half of the country, and put the darkest mission on her shoulders. Once she rescued a driver, she used her body as a shield to switch to two paths: Either his identity will be exposed and the Bai family will be overthrown; or he will become the most secret sword in the emperor's hand and continue to protect the country in a dark place. She chose the latter. The new emperor ascended the throne and suspicions grew. The former "White Yama" has become a hidden danger in the eyes of the new king. On a windy and snowy night, she took off her armor and knelt in front of the young emperor: "I just want to go back to the mountains and forests." The carriage heading south carried the unarmored female general and her innocent sister, heading towards the south of the Yangtze River where it is said that the peach blossoms are more beautiful than battle flags and the rain is gentler than knives. But Bai Qing knew that this trip was by no means a retreat - the late emperor's secret order in her arms, the meaningful eyes of old friends from the south of the Yangtze River, and those shadowy peeks all reminded her: Some wars have just begun after leaving the battlefield. From the northern wind to the misty rain in the south, from the general in the light to the chess player in the dark. How can she hide her sharp edge in the gentle countryside? How to keep a shocking secret surrounded by old friends? How should we fulfill our promise to our sister to "never fight again" in this new and shocking situation? This is a long journey about identity, loyalty and self-redemption. When the sword of the country sheaths its edge, and when the candlelight illuminates not the military book but the ink painting scroll, what she has to learn is how to truly live as a woman—not just as a general. Concept: Scars are not the end, but the incision to re-understand the world. Women don't need to borrow men's clothes to protect mountains and rivers, and learn how to live for themselves after the smoke clears.
