Set against the backdrop of an alternate historical China, it narrates the lives of the protagonists. The Western Protectorate, as the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty, has been constantly harassed by various Central Asian kingdoms since the previous emperor's demise.

Synopsis 1: Now, the newly enthroned Empress Wu Huai personally leads an expedition, firmly executing a policy of no marriage alliances, no indemnities, no territorial concessions, and no tribute payments. "The situation in the Western Regions is critical. I intend to lead the expedition myself. The sons of our Great Tang have not all perished; why should we sacrifice innocent women for peace!"

"If they want to fight, we will fight to the end. The Great Tang has the confidence to win, and also the underlying strength to win." However, things spiraled out of control. In the Battle of Yili, the Tang army suffered a major defeat, and Wu Huai was captured. The entire Tang Dynasty was shocked, racking their brains to plan a rescue operation.

Yet, Wu Huai, who just said, "I and the barbarians are absolutely irreconcilable!" then says, "Sister, love me one more time."

Synopsis 2: Jiang Li'an, a descendant of border-guarding warriors, was single-mindedly devoted to joining the army and serving the country. She learned half a sword technique from Qi Yu and then became peerless under heaven.

Synopsis 3: Lu Rongshi, as a royal member of the Elf Kingdom, and the granddaughter of Lu Xiaoyun, also has a place in the line of succession to the throne. However, she has no interest in the throne, only wishing to be a carefree royal.

Synopsis 4: Lu Rongshi came to Jiangnan, China, and met Shangguan Qingxuan, her grandmother's old friend. Dressed in white, she was like a celestial immortal, her appearance unchanged, truly like an immortal. She became her disciple, and Shangguan Qingxuan taught her everything she knew.

Synopsis 5: The day Jiang Li'an came of age was the day Qi Yu departed; from then on, Jiang Li'an had to walk her own path. This novel is divided into two storylines: one about the high and mighty empress, and the other about the ordinary江湖 (martial world).
