The year An Qiuyu came down from the mountain, rebel groups rose up across the land to fight the Di. Anyone could join, regardless of status, position, or gender.

So she enlisted without hesitation, vowing to devote her life to the people of Dayuan.

But the people of the Di were driven away, and the newly enthroned ruler was no better. The Di had treated the people of Dayuan as less than human, and the new emperor was worse still.

Crushing taxes and corruption among officials left the people suffering even more than before.

And it was all thanks to the founding general, An Qiuyu.

Thus, An Qiuyu was forced to join the greatest escort agency in the land, burdened by the grudges from the great war of years past, the people's hatred of the new emperor's tyranny, and rumors embellished with every retelling. For the rest of her life, she wore a wooden mask depicting a weeping and laughing Yin-Yang figure and severed ties with everyone she knew.

It had been eight years since Senior Sister left. There had been no word from her, and she had even publicly declared that she had nothing more to do with Runchun Residence. She earned a notorious reputation in the martial world, became hated by all, and then vanished without a trace.

Rumors said she was dead.

Eight years later, the people of the Di invaded the Jianyuan border once more, stirring up trouble across Jianyuan. They said An Qiuyu had appeared in the martial world again, this time serving the Jianyuan Emperor and fighting the Di.

But this time, someone else came down from the mountain. She was the junior sister An Qiuyu had raised and taught herself eighteen years ago, and the most accomplished disciple of Runchun Residence:

Rong Minyu.

But the former acted for the greater good, while the latter acted for love.

* There is a plot and romance, with a happy ending.
