[An indomitable, passionate woman vs. a cold-faced general with an iron will and a tender heart]

On the night of the first snowfall in the seventeenth year of the Xuanwu era, the entire household of Xia Renze, the Censor of the Inspectorate, was slaughtered over a wrongful case. Blood ran like a river overnight, and only his adopted daughter, Xia Ruyi, escaped disaster! From then on, she embarked on a path of revenge and formed an unbreakable bond with Ye Nanfeng, a member of the Third Prince's faction.

By a twist of fate, she regained her memories and discovered that she was the daughter of the great general Shen Du!

In the massacre ten years ago, corpses lay everywhere and the land was left in ruins. Her biological father had been framed and left exposed in the wilderness; her mother's and elder brother's heads had been hung high on the city wall, and the countless wronged souls of the Shen family army could not rest in peace!

And the people responsible for all these tragedies were, astonishingly, one and the same group! They still sit comfortably in court, living in luxury off the flesh and blood of the dead, wielding absolute power!

The heavens are unjust and wolves roam unchecked. Those who died wrongful deaths are reviled, while treacherous ministers still live carefree lives!

Though Xia Ruyi knows the road ahead is fraught with danger, she is still determined to see her revenge through! This time, she will infiltrate the court and turn it upside down. Whether they are chancellors and marquises who stand just below The Outcast and above countless others, or god-of-war generals stationed a thousand miles away, she will bring every last one of them down and take their heads to comfort the dead!

Just as she is badly wounded and on the verge of collapse, Ye Nanfeng appears through the swirling snow and holds her tight. "From now on, I'll be with you on this thorny road! This time, I'll be the sharpest blade in your hand!"

Theme: Never abandon one another, weather every storm together, and cherish the people by your side.

Here is part of the introduction to Records of Chasing the Lord. If you're interested, please add it to your collection:

When she opens her eyes, she has become a destitute young lady, abandoned in the countryside for years and forgotten by everyone. Just as she nearly dies once again, the marquis's household takes her back. She thinks she can finally lie flat, but unexpectedly, they want her to take someone else's place in a marriage!

It turns out that before the old marquis died, he asked the emperor to grant a marriage decree. Now Prince Rui has returned to court, and the wedding date is drawing near. But the second wife's daughter is intent on currying favor with the Crown Prince, so she plans to make Chen Sisi marry in her place! Chen Sisi, however, only wants to make money, lie flat, eat and drink, and admire handsome men!

Unfortunately, her stepmother runs the household, and her father is a muddleheaded fool. With no one to rely on, Chen Sisi can barely get by in the marquis's household and has no right to refuse. But the royal family's rules are strict, and Prince Rui is rumored to have a strange temperament and to be cruel and bloodthirsty. Chen Sisi doesn't want to marry him! Not one bit!

She thinks to herself: If her father won't agree, she'll simply go straight to Prince Rui and break off the engagement herself! Instead, he has her thrown straight into prison!

Swallowing her pride and lowering her stance, she tries to persuade him. "Your Highness, I have a terrible fate. I'm an ill-starred loner, and everyone around me meets with misfortune. If you marry me, you'll probably suffer terrible luck too! Losing your power would be one thing, but it would be a shame if you lost your life because of me..."

But he suddenly laughs. "As it happens, I have a hard fate and bring misfortune to my wives. We're a perfect match! That way, neither of us will have to bring disaster to anyone else!"

Chen Sisi feels her blood rush to her head and takes an incredulous step back. "Y-You're joking, aren't you?"

"Joking? I never joke! Just wait for me to come marry you in a grand sedan chair carried by eight bearers!"

Chen Sisi is so furious she nearly faints!

**

Before she can break off the engagement, she is inexplicably dragged into a royal power struggle and nearly loses her head! Chen Sisi thinks: There's no way I can marry him!

She tries to break off the engagement again. The prince is angry, frustrated, and thoroughly displeased. "You... have you fallen for someone else?!"

"How could I? I... I only want to conquer every handsome man under heaven. I would never hang myself from just one tree!"

Sure enough, alcohol gives people courage. With seven parts sobriety and three parts drunkenness, Chen Sisi has no idea how serious the consequences of her words are!

"Heh... conquer every handsome man under heaven?" Prince Rui laughs in fury. He wraps an arm around her slender waist and leans even closer, pressing her. "Then tell me... would you say I count as a handsome man?"

Chen Sisi jolts, and the last traces of drunkenness leave her. She gives an awkward laugh. "W-Well, Your Highness is naturally the most handsome man under heaven!"

He reaches out and grips her chin. "Then might I... become your lover?"

Chen Sisi clicks her tongue. Stop! Stop!! Beauty makes fools of us! Beauty makes fools of us!!!

Theme: Never abandon one another, weather every storm together, and cherish the people by your side.
