After accidentally rescuing the Crown Prince from assassins, he was appointed Commandant of Dingyuan. From then on, he distinguished himself in countless military campaigns, rising from a poor hunter to a mighty general who protects the nation. Having finally endured hardship and found happiness, Liu Ruyan became the respected wife of a great general.
