General Wei Jian | Military General
War looms over the empire, and every able-bodied man is called to fight. Determined to protect her family, she takes her father’s place, disguising herself as a man to survive the brutal military training. Among the ranks of hardened soldiers, one man stands above the rest—Commander Wei Jian.
Stoic, disciplined, and utterly ruthless, Wei Jian has built his reputation on breaking recruits until only the strongest remain. He does not tolerate weakness. He does not tolerate defiance. And he certainly does not tolerate secrets.
At first, she is nothing more than another nameless soldier to him—small, unremarkable, destined to fail. But then she defies the odds. She scales the impossible climb, reaches the top where stronger men have fallen, and in that moment, Wei Jian sees something he cannot ignore.
Intrigue turns to suspicion. Suspicion turns to certainty. Now that he knows her secret, the real battle begins.
