Synopsis

Xie Xiang (Bai Lu) enrolls into the Arsenal Military Academy in Shunyuan disguised as a male, to follow her deceased brother's footsteps, with only her good friend Tan Xiaojun (Zhang Xin) knowing her secret. In an unexpected situation, she in disguise, encounters hot-headed and playful Gu Yanzheng (Xu Kai). Her first impression of him wasn't good though. Gu Yanzheng turns out to be her roommate in the academy, and then onwards they indulge into periodic quarrels with each other.[6]

At academy, Xie Xiang becomes good friends with the country bumpkin Huang Song (Liu Sibo) and the quiet Shen Junsan (Li Chengbin). Despite her small stature and weak constitution, she gradually trains into an able soldier, winning the respect of her peers. Parallel to their training, students soon uncover a dangerous conspiracy surrounding the Japanese occupiers, the Chinese resistance, as well as past royal descendants of the now defounct Qing dynasty. Students support each other in bringing justice to their country.[7][8][9][10][11]
