One moment, the mech-warrior general Jiang Yun is leading her team to dominate the entire battlefield against the Zerg.
The next, she's become an ancient in another world, knocked down with one punch and locked in a cell, her life hanging in the balance!
The war goddess frowns: ...
"A fight? Are you kidding me?"
From a mechanic in the slums to the empire's supreme commander, Jiang Yun has worked diligently for years, earning promotions and honors that everyone envies. Then, in an instant, she's back where she started.
The realm is in ruins, and the land lies under a pall of darkness.
Jiang Yun grits her teeth. She hears that in this era anyone can claim the throne?
Fine, fine. Build high walls and stockpile provisions!
Infant girls drowned by their parents, old women beaten to death by their husbands, members of the imperial clan preying on orphans and widows...
Before Jiang Yun ascends the throne, the Admonitions for Women, foot binding, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues... all hold sway. Women are confined to the inner quarters, with the words "support your husband and raise your children" weighing on them like a mountain!
Jiang Yun: How can I stand for this?
She writes The Plight of Women and recruits female generals!
She opens schools for girls, reforms the official system, and abolishes backward customs!
Someone gets in her way? Did you think my years as a mechanic were for nothing?
New weapons emerge one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the world is transformed. Jiang Yun turns to look behind her, where tens of thousands of people cry out in unison: "We respectfully invite Your Majesty to ascend the throne!"
Shen Yu's might shakes the four seas, his martial prowess stuns the heavens. Everyone believes him to be arrogant and untamable, a blade beyond anyone's control.
Only Jiang Yun knows how clingy Shen Yu really is!
A renowned physician with peerless medical skills takes Jiang Yun's hand and kneels on one knee, pledging his life to her.
Shen Yu watches jealously from outside the door: "How dare he touch Jiang Yun's hand!"
A brilliant top scholar presents Jiang Yun with a painting and calligraphy piece. She hangs it in her study and gets to see it every day.
Shen Yu bites a handkerchief in a fit of jealous rage: "It's just a painting. What's so special about it?"
An ambitious Marquis Champion wins battle after battle with his troops. Jiang Yun issues decrees praising him, her eyes filled with admiration.
Shen Yu, consumed by jealousy, tears up a handkerchief: "He's only a little younger! Flirting around with her and forgetting his duty as a husband. Jiang Yun would never like him!"
Shen Yu descends from his pedestal, his possessiveness bursting forth. He makes a scene in a jealous frenzy, and the words he says most often are: "You can only look at me and love me!"
One day, surrounded by a gaze full of smiles, he turns around and realizes: The "rose" has long since fallen into my arms!
