She was the third young lady of the General's mansion, a beloved darling of the heavens who basked in endless glory. Dressed in red and riding astride, she dazzled the capital for a time. Her father was the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, and her second brother was the new generation's Divine General of Beiliang. Doted on as she grew up, Mu Chen vowed to right every injustice in the world, but caused chaos throughout the capital in the process.
Then, after a sudden upheaval, she returned as if she were a different person. Disguised as a man, she reentered the court, caught between loyalty and revenge. As she pressed on, she uncovered one secret after another about her birth. With the road ahead shrouded in uncertainty, what should she do?
Some knots are impossible to untangle. A treacherous minister with power over all takes her as his disciple: "Go ahead and make as much trouble as you like. I'll have your back." The unruly young prince of Nanqing says, "Whoever you want to cause trouble for, I'll come along." The mercurial emperor of Xichu protects her with all his might, the pampered princess of Beiliang falls in love at first sight, and an upright young general loves her but dares not say so...
Surrounded by formidable villains, Mu Chen is speechless. Um, what is she supposed to do? She was trying to be a good person!
