Blurb:
Female bandit chieftain * aloof strategist from an eminent clan
As chaos engulfs the land and the lords turn against one another, the prestige of renowned scholars becomes a rallying banner, and the lords all seek out worthy talent.
The greatest sages of the age are in Yingchuan, and the finest scholars of Yingchuan are of the Yun clan.
For four generations, the clan has produced three ministers, and six of its members have served as chancellors. The Yun clan is the Han dynasty's last hope.
Yun Anzhi is ordered to rescue the bride sent by the Langya Wang clan from a bandit hideout.
But he mistakenly takes the bandit chieftain, Jiang Jingchan, for the Wang clan's daughter and brings her back.
And he gets himself entangled with her, too.
Jiang Jingchan was born a bandit and wants to control the emperor to command the lords. She is an enemy of the Han dynasty.
Yet Yun Lang, the most renowned scholar in the land, shocks everyone by turning around and boarding Jiang Jingchan's pirate ship.
