Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Ji Li felt like he was going to be driven mad by a snake and a tiger. To think, he was once the esteemed Commander Guard, basking in so much glory. Now, with the Marshal gone, his status was at the bottom rung.  


Thinking back, life was better when the Marshal was alive.  


He shook his folding fan and sighed introspectively, "Ah, the Twelve Guards have disbanded. It's so lonely now."  


Meng Qianqian finally responded, "Then pull yourself together and reunite the Twelve Guards!"  


"Easier said than done." Ji Li sighed pessimistically. "Let's not even mention that Shen Hou is already dead. Of the remaining eleven, there's a traitor lurking among us. Finding them alone is hard enough; how are you supposed to regroup them? Don't say I didn't warn you—on the surface, the Twelve Guards seemed harmonious, but that was only because the Grand Marshal was holding it all together. With the Grand Marshal gone, nobody listens to each other anymore."
