Others join the Independent Regiment and follow Li Yunlong to rack up victories.
The female lead doesn't join a main force regiment and doesn't depend on anyone!
From the start, she persuades three puppet-army battalion commanders to surrender on her own, then applies to headquarters to establish an independent special forces training camp, with:
- Independent recruitment authority
- Independent training authority
- Independent operational command
- Under the authority of the brigade headquarters alone, not directed by the Independent Regiment
It's the only modern special operations squad in all of northwestern Shanxi.
Personality and romance
Decisive and ruthless, a master tactician, and twenty years ahead of her time.
She doesn't steal the spotlight or show off. She makes her way through the chaos on ability alone.
She and Zhao Gang share a mature, mutual romance:
Zhao Gang admires her advanced approach to training troops, her measured care for civilians, and her forward-thinking vision.
Later, he's transferred to assist the female lead in reorganizing military discipline and building the special forces camp together. They eventually marry.
