To meet the "Undying God of War" Qin Hongyu, Jiang Ciyue stops a carriage and robs its passengers.
But she never gets to meet the God of War. Instead, she's forced to impersonate General Qin.
Her first day in Yuncheng, and she's already caught in a dead-end game. The whole city is full of cunning old foxes, and she's the only one who can't see a thing.
If she can't tell friend from foe, she might as well muddy the waters further. Fishing in troubled waters is her specialty, after all.
So she boldly takes a husband in General Qin's name. It's a risky move, but it catches the whole city off guard.
Zhang, the company commander who forced her to impersonate General Qin, is terrified by her move. Bowing his head, he pleads, "I never harmed General Qin. She simply vanished into thin air..."
Jiang Ciyue doesn't believe people can vanish into thin air.
So she takes Zhang Huan prisoner and heads back to the capital with Xu Letian, the "live-in son-in-law" she just married.
She thinks the truth will come out as soon as she returns to the capital, but the waters there are even deeper.
Even after she reveals her identity, not one person among the court officials suspects a thing.
Her ally Zhang Huan breaks down and accuses her: "You are Qin Hongyu! You've been playing me for a fool!"
She flicks his finger away without a care. "You're so boring. What makes you think I'd bother playing you for a fool twice?"
Before the lie can be exposed, her newlywed husband, Xu Letian, climbs through the window and into her bed in the middle of the night.
He wraps his arms tightly around her waist, buries his face in the crook of her neck, and whispers tremulously, "There's a ghost..."
Jiang Ciyue grips his chin and makes him look her in the eye. With a laugh, she asks, "Isn't the ghost in your own heart?"
Indeed, in this vast general's residence, beneath the lofty Empress Dowager and Emperor, who doesn't have a few ghosts lurking in their heart?
Watch as she catches the most cunning ghost in this tangled game and finds the real General Qin.
