Xing Liuyun is the legitimate daughter of a general's household. She followed her father and brothers onto the battlefield from a young age and mastered every kind of weapon. It wasn't until they returned to the capital victorious that her family realized Xing Liuyun was a woman too, and old enough to be married off.
Since Xing Liuyun had spent years among men, and noble families cared about proper conduct and reputation, how could they accept a coarse woman who had led troops into battle? For a time, no family was willing to form a marriage alliance with the general's household.
One day, Xing Liuyun saw a young nobleman fall into the water. With no one around to save him, she jumped in, lifted him in her arms, and laid him on the bank, giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. That was how the young nobleman survived.
Later, she heard that he was Qi Jinyuan, the frail heir of Prince Zhennan. Ever since she rescued him, he had been telling everyone that she was his fated Alpha and that he was going to marry her.
Recently, there had been a curious bit of gossip in the imperial capital: the heir of Prince Zhennan had gone mad. This perfectly respectable man spent every day following a woman around, embroidering her sachets and making her pastries, with not a shred of manliness about him.
Unable to stand watching this any longer, a busybody intercepted Qi Jinyuan as he was about to take pastries to Xing Liuyun at the training grounds, and showed off his muscles.
"A real man should be as impressive as me. Our hands are meant to conquer the world!"
Qi Jinyuan wrapped his thin arms around the pastries and said, "Then go conquer the world. I'll make her pastries too."
