[The husband-chasing crematorium trope | Childhood sweethearts | A spirited young general x a gentle, jade-like schemer]
Ye Zhenxing was a professional Go player. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the body of the ninth princess of the Ye Kingdom.
When she was twelve, the Xiongnu invaded. The court was fighting viciously among itself, and no one was fit to lead the expedition. Ye Zhenxing volunteered and asked the emperor to issue an order allowing her to join the army.
The emperor looked at her for a long time before finally agreeing.
On the day she left for war, the city's people and court officials came to see her off. Everyone thought she had no choice.
Influenced by his father, Dong Xiuyu had been looking since childhood for a wife who would devote herself to him alone for life. The Crown Prince, Ye Zhenxing, had never been one of his candidates.
At their first meeting, she wore red and saved him from an assassin's blade. The instant their eyes met, Dong Xiuyu clearly heard his own heartbeat.
From then on, the list of potential wives he'd kept became nothing but wastepaper.
He racked his brains to make her fall for him, even using her close relationship with his older sister to find out where she was.
Everything was going smoothly. Just as he was starting to feel happy, one rumor crushed him completely.
She'd taken the top courtesan home from the House of Dust and Wind!
He shut himself indoors for three days, torturing himself by listening to the rumors about the two of them. When he finally came out, he had traded his usual white clothes for an outfit matching hers, put on light makeup, and gone to the banquet she was attending.
