[Strong woman vs. muscular man]
Qi Fanglie, a lonely young man consumed by family vengeance and national grievances, was willing to give up love and remain stationed on the frontier.
But the world is hard to predict. Before his reward for distinguished service even arrived, he received an imperial decree ordering him back to the capital to marry a nineteen-year-old old maid.
Qin Jiaolan had suffered one misfortune after another since her early teens. She knew who was behind it all, but was forced to swallow her anger for the greater good. She waited until her eyes nearly ran dry, longing for the emperor to sound the drums and raise the banner, so she could bare her blade and avenge herself.
Near the age of thirty, she finally saw a chance for change in the form of an imperial marriage decree, only to hear that the other party was hesitating.
Was the emperor carelessly matching the wrong people? Absolutely not!
The emperor risked his dignity to make Qi Fanglie marry Qin Jiaolan, a wealthy woman who could fund the army and supply provisions.
He also schemed to make Qin Jiaolan cling to Qi Fanglie, the priceless ally who shared her hatred of their enemies.
Qin Jiaolan: Are you marrying me or not?
Qi Fanglie: Mm... I'm sold.
