Also known as: After I Fell into the Hands of My Mortal Enemy / Jing Hong
Serious Version:
In the autumn of the twenty-seventh year of Zhengshuo, the Northern Di massed troops in Suizhou. Qin Yue was summoned to take command in her father's place at a time of crisis, leading ninety thousand elite Jin troops into a bloody battle against the Northern Di's two hundred thousand soldiers at Lang Pass. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Three months later, Qin Yue was recalled by a Black-and-Gold Order on the grounds that she had delayed the battle and caused the entire Jin army to be wiped out. It was nothing but a trumped-up charge.
After returning, Qin Yue somehow ended up in the hands of Xu Huaijin, the Minister of Justice and the Qin family's mortal enemy. It was plain that someone wanted her dead and meant to bring down the Qin family. Her family had become an obstacle in the bitter struggle between competing powers, and someone wanted them eliminated as quickly as possible.
Lighthearted Version:
Later,
Qin Yue: So my father recognized you ages ago?
Xu Huaijin: Of course my martial uncle recognized me.
Qin Yue: Then why did he target you?
Xu Huaijin: He was just disappointed that I hadn't lived up to his expectations.
Qin Yue: Great, so I'm the only person in the whole world who didn't recognize you.
Theme: The moon beneath the sea is the moon in the sky, and the person before your eyes is the one in your heart.
