A rebellious noblewoman who enlists in the army × a scheming, reserved general from a humble family
She tore her silk skirts, cast aside her golden hairpins, abandoned her books and paintings, and took up a long saber.
Sheng Yaoying was nine years old that year.
Because of a seemingly casual remark from the Prince of Jingnan,
and the promise of a new path whose destination she could not foresee,
she became the first noblewoman in Nanzhou to enlist in the army.
She kept her head down and pressed forward, a weirdo and a madwoman in the eyes of others.
Only Xiao Yu could see the blazing heart beneath her cold expression.
Yaoying: a hawk.
She was never born to be a caged sparrow.
He gave her the sharpest blade and the strongest armor, and willingly became the weapon best suited to her hand.
He watched her hold a lonely city for ten days with three thousand exhausted soldiers, refusing to retreat even when their arrows and food ran out.
She saw him lead a hundred elite cavalry through the enemy's encirclement, his silver spear holding back an army.
Their mutual admiration grew into a friendship between gentlemen, then a bond of comrades who entrusted each other with their lives, and finally, amid the smoke of war, love quietly blossomed.
As the dynasty was swept by upheaval, they fought side by side through bloodshed, broke through the deadlock, and at last stood shoulder to shoulder, their illustrious military achievements helping them defend the realm.
Beneath the moon on the borderlands, she smiled and asked, "General, why did you trust only me back then?"
He took her hand and gazed across thousands of miles of territory. "Because I didn't see a sparrow trapped in the women's quarters. I saw a hawk capable of piercing the sky."
Because we are alike.
Because we share a path we can walk together.
