Withering Flower

Hua Yueqin, the fifth daughter of the esteemed Hua family, was the treasured jewel of the household. Adored by all, she was a legend in her own right-celebrated across the vast lands of Great Wu for her brilliance in strategy and unmatched prowess on the battlefield. As the empire's most revered female general, she stood tall, radiant with honor. She was the pride of Great Wu.

But glory is fleeting. And even the brightest stars can fall.

On a blood-soaked battlefield, Yueqin met her end, betrayed by the one she trusted most. Her last sight was a cruel mockery of love: her closest friend and her beloved, wrapped in each other's arms, laughing with careless joy as if her death meant nothing. Then amid the chaos a voice pierced the haze. Her name, screamed in anguish. Her brother. Only then did the truth strike her like a blade through the heart: he was the only one who had ever truly cared.

Broken, bleeding, and alone, she closed her eyes. But her soul burned with one final vow: if the heavens granted her another life, she would rise again. She would shield her family, reclaim her honor, and take back everything that was stolen from her.

'If fate dares to give me another breath, I'll turn it into a storm."

Perhaps the heavens heard her.

When Yueqin opened her eyes, the past greeted her. She had returned, five years before her downfall. With fire in her heart and vengeance in her veins, she set her sights on the storm ahead. Equipped with knowledge from her past life, she approach the infamous tyrant, the Seventh Prince of Great Wu, Mu Qing.

Now with a new powerful ally by her side, can Yueqin rise again and stop the history from repeating itself?
