After Ren Hongying saw with her own eyes as both her elder sisters were forced to marry men they did not love, she secretly joined the army, which was tasked with defending against foreign enemies and fighting in campaigns, in order to escape an arranged marriage between powerful families.
But everything on the battlefield was completely different from what Ren Hongying had imagined. The soldiers and she were not fighting people at all, but giant mammoths that could trample a person to death with a single step!
Still, determined to avoid going home and marrying someone she did not love, Ren Hongying resolved to stay in the army.
Before long, her outstanding battle record earned her the position of commander.
One day, after leading everyone home in triumph, Ren Hongying heard that a new recruit had arrived at the camp, and that he was a handsome young man.
"A new recruit? Just one?" Ren Hongying asked, puzzled.
In the past, hadn't new recruits always arrived in a whole group?
Why had just one person come this time?
