Reading Guide: This is Book One.

In short: Two strong leads / past and present lives / a little pursuit-and-regret drama (not the traditional kind) / clear-headed yet falling deeper / man disguised as a woman / woman disguised as a man / slow burn...

In her previous life, Fu Qingqing lost all her family and friends. To keep her family standing, she took her brother's place as a general, fighting on the battlefield in Yizhou, resisting the Xiongnu and protecting the people of the city.
