Yu Niang's life was full of misery. When she was young, her gambler of a father sold her to a scholar's family to pay off his debts. She thought she had escaped her suffering and could finally live in peace, but after the wedding she discovered that the scholar was rotten to the core, all glitter on the outside and rot within. When he rose to prominence, the powerful and wealthy took him to the capital. But he showed no mercy, leaving her and her daughter in a mass grave. Watching her little girl get knocked unconscious and forced to drink poison, unable to do anything to help, made Yu Niang's heart ache as if it had been cut with a knife.
A twist of fate made her a soldier in some unknown era. The two nations were at war, and she trained hard, fought bravely, and shed blood on the battlefield.
Ten years of life and death, two worlds apart. Who could have imagined she would return to the beginning and be reborn as the scumbag Li Qing? Seeing the familiar face, the look of terror, and the frail body of his daughter, he vowed to treat his wife and child well and make a name for himself. He had struggled all the way from scholar to top scorer in the imperial exams, and just when he had finally made it this far, he was framed by villains.
What, the imperial exams won't work? A treacherous minister is blocking the way.
Fine, fine. Then I'll put down my brush and take up arms to become a great general. After all, I spent more than ten years training in my previous life.
