The Veteran General

[Please add to your reading list!] [Complete] Six years ago, the Song and Wei armies fought a decisive battle at Huatai. The Song army was defeated and retreated to defend the Ji River. From then on, the land north of the river belonged to Great Wei. The Southern Command Army led by Wei Xiao was wiped out that year, and Huatai fell. The defeat became a lasting torment for Wei Jing. Six years later, as the fog lifts, the truth is finally ready to come to light. People fear Xue Jin for two reasons: first, her ruthless, hardline approach to conquering nations; second, no one has ever seen her true face. A powerhouse of a general who’s usually unserious, loves throwing an arm around people and calling them brothers, and drinks like a fish, but is rarely earnest × an utterly charming, tea-scented mad beauty who takes the initiative to seduce, demands a title, loves unleashing powerful moves, and has unusual tastes; identity unknown An alternate Wei-Jin setting. Don’t scrutinize the historical details too closely. More focus on the plot, with absolutely no emotional angst. Coming next: Modern danmei Cheng You considers himself a lost cause. His mother died young, his father drinks too much, and he has a younger sister to support. He never expected to amount to anything, just taking each day as it came. Then he was forced to transfer schools under a cloud of blame, where he met someone else struggling in the same mire. Qi Zhaoyue was just like that. Even after his rich father “exiled” him, he still looked every bit the polished young master, throwing his weight around and radiating an aura wherever he went. They were both people stuck in the mud, and at night, they were the ones who tended each other’s wounds. Qi Zhaoyue (gong) × Cheng You (shou) Theme: People should have something to believe in, and stay true to it for life.
