JING SHAO IS GOING TO WAR AGAIN--BUT THIS TIME, HE'S BRINGING HIS WIFE. Sent to suppress a rebellion against the great Chen Empire, the third prince, Jing Shao, rides out once more as marshal of an army a hundred thousand strong. At his side is Mu Hanzhang--his "gentleman wife"--in the guise of a sage strategist. As corruption and treachery in the imperial court begin to shape the battles ahead, Jing Shao uses the knowledge of his past life to alter the fate that once led to his downfall. Along the way, supported by Mu Hanzhang's cunning, Jing Shao uses his regression foreknowledge to take advantage of the things that once slipped him by--including the spoils of war, the flames of vengeance, and the arms of his wife. As conspiracies deepen and long-buried truths come to light, the bond between Jing Shao and Mu Hanzhang grows ever stronger--on the battlefield and within the royal tent.
