Ji Yao, daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, followed her father north from the age of ten. At nineteen, she routed five thousand enemy soldiers with just three thousand cavalry, then captured three cities in succession. The people of the northern frontier revered her as the “Divine General.”
But in the capital, the nobles dismissed her as nothing but a reckless troublemaker.
Then an imperial decree of marriage came crashing down, shaking the capital like a thunderclap.
The emperor had actually forced Du Linyi, that refined and noble Hanlin Academy editor, into marriage with the troublemaker. The hearts of the capital's young ladies shattered all at once.
Ji Yao knew nothing of the handsome, noble Du Linyi.
All she knew was that the emperor was suspicious and had long been wary of the Ji family.
This time, he first appointed Du Linyi as a secretary in the Ministry of War, then used an imperial decree to keep her, the “Divine General,” confined to the capital.
However you looked at it, this marriage was a loss the Ji family would have to swallow!
Later, on her way home from work, she happened upon Secretary Du's carriage. On a whim, she flung a silver ingot at the horse's rump.
Once the startled horse had calmed down, she rode up to the carriage.
Seeing Secretary Du sprawled inside, she folded her arms and smiled wickedly.
It remained to be seen who would end up losing out...
