Xie Zining, a general's daughter, wakes up from a dream to find she is living inside a storybook. Her brainless brother, Xie Zicheng, ruins the family fortune and sacrifices his life for the lotus-like female protagonist, dragging the entire loyal Xie family into exile at the border. Since her brother cannot be propped up, she will do it herself! With a single hand chop, she knocks out her brother, packs him up overnight, and delivers him to the Grand Princess's mansion in exchange for resources; beating gongs and drums, she carries the prodigal brother to the doorstep to publicly settle a betrothal gift of two hundred thousand taels. When the white lotus plots a scheme, she counter-attacks by co-opting the opponent's genius strategist under her command, dispatching her brother to the toxic border battlefield to redeem himself through meritorious service. The white lotus's reputation is ruined, and her love-struck brother is kept in absolute obedience—the Xie family's centuries of glory will never fall with her holding them up!
