The heavenly rules strictly forbid the interaction between immortals and demons, but Yi Er has repeatedly ventured into the mortal realm on her own and was caught by the Queen of Heaven. The Queen of Heaven instructed Yi Er to remember her engagement with Yan Yue and to be mindful of her words and actions. However, Yi Er opposes this arranged marriage where she has no choice and must marry someone she doesn't love. They are born to endure various dogmas and marry someone they don't love, unable to be their true selves.

The Demon Clan's Grand Sovereign discovered that Wei Zhi was extraditing Chen Yan on behalf of Yan Yue, which shocked him greatly. Wei Zhi also came to know that it was the Demon Sovereign who caused the extraditing mark on Yan Yue. She angrily reproached him for his actions. In order to help Wei Zhi fully recover her memories and trigger the third bloodline rebirth, the Demon Clan's Grand Sovereign brought her to the Three Lives Stone to look into her past.

In her past life, Wei Zhi was Sima Wangyue, the daughter of a marshal, and she grew up with her adopted brother Mu Nan as childhood sweethearts, considering each other as siblings. Sima Wangyue was unlike typical girls who enjoyed embroidery and flowers; she liked to wield knives and study military strategies, hoping to become a heroine in the future. Similarly, Mu Nan was deeply loyal to Sima Wangyue, and the two of them often sparred with each other.

Sima's Lady wanted her daughter to find a good husband and frequently arranged various noble suitors for her. However, each time, Mu Nan would disguise himself as a woman and collaborate with Sima Wangyue to scare away the visiting noble sons. Every year, when the army went to war, Wangyue would drag Mu Nan to watch the crowd, much to his annoyance. Wangyue felt that these soldiers going to war for their country were very valiant, but her attention unknowingly was drawn to a young soldier who was none other than Chen Yan in his past life.

Marshal Sima was ordered to lead the army and accompany Marshal Chaoyang to the frontlines of the war against the enemy. However, Chaoyang was a playboy who took advantage of every opportunity and preferred to avoid the battlefield. This infuriated Marshal Sima, but he had no choice. On the other hand, Sima Wangyue wanted to join the army and deliberately displayed her martial arts skills in front of her father, but her father saw through her intentions, and her plan fell through.

That night, Sima Wangyue was sitting alone in her room feeling unhappy. She couldn't understand why her father placed so much emphasis on gender distinctions. Just as she expressed her confusion, Marshal Sima entered from outside and asked if Wei Zhi would be afraid if she encountered enemies on the battlefield. Sima Wangyue decisively answered that she wasn't afraid. Seeing his daughter's determination, Marshal Sima agreed to let Sima Wangyue replace Marshal Chaoyang as the commanding officer.

On the day of their arrival at the lone city, Marshal Sima arranged for Sima Wangyue to lead the troops and set up a camp within the first ten miles as the forward outpost. Due to the significant responsibilities of the outpost, General Cao believed that Sima Wangyue was not qualified to guard it, which made him feel dissatisfied. General Qi, on the other hand, comforted Cao and believed that the Marshal had his reasons for making such arrangements.

As Chen Yan, in the guise of a new soldier, descended to the outpost, the veteran soldiers intended to take advantage of the situation to teach him a lesson but found that his martial skills far surpassed theirs. Sima Wangyue intervened to settle the dispute and immediately appointed Chen Yan as the leader of the new recruits, allowing him to work by her side.

During the march, Sima Wangyue encountered refugees, and a spy hiding among them attacked her. Fortunately, Chen Yan protected her in time, and with Mu Nan's cover, they successfully escaped. Chen Yan wanted to help Sima Wangyue remove her armor and treat her injuries, but Mu Nan quickly intervened. In private, when Sima Wangyue was alone with Mu Nan, he revealed that he had killed someone that day. Sima Wangyue comforted Mu Nan, telling him not to be upset. They had studied military texts since childhood and understood the principle of showing kindness to those who surrender, or else it would be difficult to protect the people in the city.

In the following days, Sima Wangyue noticed that Chen Yan, whether in setting up camp, handling horses, or fighting, was not like an ordinary new recruit. This raised suspicions about his identity. Chen Yan admitted that he used to be a refugee, later captured by bandits and trained to carry out missions. He couldn't tolerate their killings of the weak and innocent for food, so he seized the opportunity to escape and joined the army.

Sima Wangyue firmly believed Chen Yan's words and, appreciating his abilities, promoted him to sergeant. Not long after, while patrolling with Sima Wangyue and others, they unexpectedly discovered enemy forces transporting provisions. They decided to observe the situation and subsequently decided to burn down the enemy's supplies.
