Set against the backdrop of the Song dynasty, the gender bender series tells the story of the marriage between a highly skilled female general and a prince of unrivaled beauty.

When her father and brother died in an invasion, she took over control of the Ye army to defend her home, eventually receiving a top rank of general.

The series begins with Zhao's promotion to general, and her true gender being revealed to the Imperial court soon after.

Her fiancé is the Prince of Nanping, Zhao Yujin, who possesses remarkable beauty but is sickly, pampered, lazy and spends his time on "useless" artistic pursuits.

[1][3] Three web films were produced as a continuation of the television series, which focused on the supporting characters' side stories.
