A young battle god at the peak of martial prowess, the top: a fugitive without legal status
A kindhearted, quick-witted, clever, and cheerful bottom: a princess in disguise
The young general is handsome and valiant, a heartthrob on the frontier, but he's a fugitive (top: He Yucheng).
The young master is radiant and dashing, the king of border-town gossip, but dresses as a woman (bottom: Zhao Min).
He Yucheng has it all planned out. Once he's saved enough silver, he'll work up the courage to confess to his employer and take the winning path toward marrying the one he loves.
But how much does he need to save before he can confess? Better to seize the day than wait for the perfect time, so why not...
But the world never readily bends to anyone's wishes.
He has already resolved to bury his past for good, but an artifact symbolizing his father's military achievements suddenly appears at a black market for stolen goods.
His wrongfully accused father, his mother who died unjustly, a raging inferno, enemy forces at the city walls, and the peaceful life before him, about to crumble at any moment...
The hatred between nations and the grievances of family rise together once more. The young general's heroic spirit, like a sword yearning to be drawn, rings and roars inside its scabbard.
Zhao Min has his own beautiful plan: rely on a little restaurant to make a small fortune, make a few good friends, keep a crowd of family and loved ones, and listen to the freshest gossip every day among the bustling merchants.
Gossip's here! Come and get it! Gossip from every direction!
But as he buried himself in the latest rumors, he nearly lost his entire family in the very field of gossip.
Looking back, he realizes the world has long been on the brink of catastrophe. In his short life of just over ten years, his background was fake, his identity was fake, and even the word "princess" was a lie.
Royal power and conflict, nobility and low status, hatred and love had woven a colossal lie before he was even born, wrapping his entire life in a cocoon of deception.
The muddled pawn awakens from the sweet dream of lies and resolves from then on to be the player who directs his own fate.
To hold on to each other's hands, the young men are forced to take up the cause of saving a crumbling realm.
1. This is a one-on-one couple with a happy ending, childhood friends and each other's first love.
2. This is an entirely fictional work and has no connection to any real person, group, or event.
Theme: In times of hardship, people should hold tightly to one another's hands and support each other.
