[Career-minded heroine who looks down on the hero * tsundere hero who doesn't realize he's in love]
In her previous life, the emperor dragged her away from the battlefield, bound her hand and foot, and sent her to the front lines to marry for peace.
After she died, she became a cuckoo and watched helplessly as the land was laid waste and rivers ran red with blood.
In this life, she wants to save her country and its people, so she has no choice but to start as a bandit, targeting the Hu merchants who secretly trade with merchants from the Central Plains.
She skewers assassins like candied hawthorns to protect him. Nothing she does comes from romantic affection. It's all for the common people.
Because he is the last Great Wall guarding the northern frontier.
He was her fiance in her previous life. The first time they met, his head was inside a box. The first time they met in this life, she gave his horse a laxative.
He is the emperor's most loyal subject, and a god of war feared by the Hu.
He is determined to be a pure and loyal official.
No matter how the emperor suspects him, withholds his army's pay, and pushes him into an impossible position, he remains foolishly convinced that the man on the imperial throne has done nothing wrong. And if he has, it must be because his ministers put him up to it.
But after she appears, he begins to waver.
Should he be loyal to the emperor, or to the stirrings in his own heart?
A marriage alliance cannot bring peace. See how a frontier girl who has waited years for her betrothed brings stability to the realm!
