He was the second son of Prince Rong's household, born frail and sickly and left to grow up away from home. When he finally returned to the capital, everyone looked down on him, and danger lurked at every turn...
His fiancée threatened to kill herself unless he broke off their engagement. His hypocritical elder brother ambushed him on the road, intent on taking his life. His biological father despised him and suppressed him at every turn, while the royal heirs scorned and humiliated him...
Ji Xianyin, the sickly young lord, remained composed, showing no sign of striking back. Who could have guessed that the young general whose fame and splendor filled the capital and whose name was known across the realm would fly into a rage on his own behalf?
He was Mu Liusu, the young master of the general's mansion, whose renown outshone all others in the capital. With a face as radiant as the moon and a mind full of schemes, he had gone to war while still young, directing campaigns from afar and winning every battle. After crushing the enemy and returning victorious, Young General Mu was at the height of his fame.
Yet the brave general the capital's young ladies had waited so eagerly to welcome home turned out to prefer men to women!
No sooner had he returned to the capital than he fell for the sickly, beautiful young lord of Prince Rong's household. Relying on his formidable martial skills, he brazenly protected his beloved.
When the fiancée threatened the beautiful young lord with suicide, Mu Liusu smiled sweetly. “Either beg Second Young Master Ji to cast you aside, or really go and die.”
When one vicious assassination attempt after another came from the hypocritical elder brother, Mu Liusu smiled brightly. “I want your worthless life, and I want your heir's title, too.”
When the senile old prince played favorites and kept him down, Mu Liusu's eyes glimmered with a smile. “Will you accept him as your heir like a good boy, or do you want me to bring down your entire household?”
When the royal family looked down on them from on high and trampled them underfoot, Mu Liusu's eyes flashed. “You want to use your power to destroy Xianyin? Then I'll destroy the Western Chu realm first.”
Everyone said that the God of War of Western Chu had thrown propriety aside for the sake of a frail young heir, bullied defenseless women and children, and wiped out loyal officials. His lifelong reputation lay in ruins, and he was no longer worthy of being called a young hero.
Mu Liusu smiled faintly. She had already grown tired of political intrigue. She had returned with such force, revealing her full brilliance, only to protect the man she had let down in her previous life. But why had the frail, refined beauty from her memories suddenly become the bewitchingly beautiful and supremely noble Regent of Northern Yan?
Watching the Regent approach, step by step, with his peerless beauty, Young General Mu declared that she would protect him for life, but she really wasn't into men.
The Regent smiled, his charm intoxicating. “Little Su, don't tell me you still haven't realized that the famous Young General Mu is actually a woman?”
