The Female General in Troubled Times

Born into an age of chaos, with famine stretching for miles and ordinary people unable to count on surviving the day, the land is ravaged by war. The Xiongnu advance menacingly from the north, while Japanese pirates raid the southern coast. She is a rising star of a troubled age, a heroine who fights for her country and the people she loves, campaigning across the land and enduring obstacle after obstacle, countless separations and deaths. At last she pacifies the realm and thinks she can finally enjoy life, only to be thrown into a death cell. Her army is massacred, and her relatives are executed by waist-cutting. She hates it! She hates that she died at the hands of her own people instead of on the battlefield. She resents it! She resents being so blind as to give her heart to a worthless man! Reborn into a new life, watch Xu Ying outwit her malicious, two-faced second sister, crush the hypocritical scumbag, then build an army, drive back the Japanese pirates, defeat the Xiongnu, and reclaim the realm.
