In a realm echoing with ancient wisdom, resonates the proclamation: "West begets commanders, east begets statesmen." Behold you, an enigmatic embodiment of courage and brilliance, a celestial star born to steer the tides of war. You, a surrogate for your noble kin, traverse battlefields aplenty, taming the untamed western hordes, subjugating the southern savages. Yet, as your elder sibling's health reclaims its dominion, your valorous triumphs unfurl their glorious tapestry, and you, the heroine, gracefully withdraw, seeking wedlock and domestic bliss.

Alas, wedlock brings naught but estrangement, your husband's affection withheld, while affliction ensnares your being in a rare malady, robbing your vision of light. Before you, a resplendent concubine stands, tenderly unveiling the venomous truth: "The elixir that veiled your once-vigilant gaze, a concoction clandestinely bequeathed by the esteemed elders of your lineage. Secrets remain shrouded, whispered solely by souls entombed. Your existence, a colossal menace to their sovereignty! A paragon of courage and prowess, a resolute titaness, felled by the ignorant envy that pervades the inner sanctum. How preposterous!"

With roused consciousness, you awaken in a subsequent life, reborn as the scion of a seasoned colonel within the training grounds-a blossoming sylph tainted by indulgence. Those who covet your laurels yearn for your demise, while those who command your legions and mounted forces trample upon your fragile emotions. In this newfound existence, you vow to seize back each stolen fragment of your destiny. A clarion call to the world, your crimson visage adorned with regal accolades, reverberates as your might reveres the Nine Provinces! As profound as the depths of a military encampment mirroring the boundless sea, your journey begins with a reunion with your nemesis from yesteryears-the young general whose blade commands awe, piercing through realms uncharted.
