It is said that Jiangdong is home to a woman named Han Yu, whose beauty could outshine any other. Along with Qiao Wei, she is famed as one of the "Twin Beauties."
She excels in both literary and military arts, and her mastery of medicine and poison is so extraordinary she can bring the dead back to life and make the living wish they were dead.
Yet she has a bizarre temperament and is at daggers drawn with the Sun family's second young master. She even declared that her clinic's sign read, "No dogs or Sun Quan allowed." The young master is so furious he could grind his teeth to dust, but the rest of the Sun family all protect her, leaving him unable to do a thing.
Aside from her mutual dislike with Sun Quan, Han Yu has been cared for since childhood by Sun Jian, the superintendent of Jiangdong District's School Alliance. The eldest Sun son regards her as his right hand, and she is as close as sisters with the third Sun daughter. Her future seems limitless.
But when Han Yu hears all this, she can only give a cold laugh.
Let's not even get started on Sun Quan. Would that old fox Sun Jian show kindness for no reason? Is being Sun Ce's right hand really such a good deal? And doesn't that little troublemaker Sun Shangxiang cause plenty of problems of her own?
There's not a single easygoing person in the whole Sun family!
They call it "being valued," but it's really "being exploited."
By day, she's the Sun children's study companion. By night, she's Sun Jian's assassin. When things are quiet, she treats the people of Jiangdong; when trouble comes, she fights for them. Every so often, they even stir up some mess for her to clean up.
Heaven knows how close to breaking point she is, doing four jobs all by herself! You people in Jiangdong don't do a single thing that involves other people!
If you asked Han Yu what her greatest dream in life was, she'd shout without hesitation, "I want to retire!"
Tips:
* No bashing any characters from the original, no woman-against-woman rivalry, and no breaking up canon couples.
* Contains many personal additions, original plotlines, and changes to the original story.
* The heroine is a beautiful, wicked woman with little sense of morality who couldn't care less whether most people live or die.
* Romantic storylines with Sun Quan and Lu Bu; open ending.
* I'll add many of my own interpretations of the characters and setting. The glory belongs to the original; any out-of-character writing is on me.
