The story is set in 17th century europe with slight fantasy settings and slightly changed names of countries. Take it as alternative history story. Imagine 17th century europe without gunpowder but with magic guns and cannons. The story seems to revolve around revolution of warfare, the change from era of sword to the era of rifle.

But I love you

In her previous life, Xia Shengge had always thought that she was an illegitimate daughter who could not be exposed to the public. Her birth was a sin. He was willing to be his sister Xia Ruoling's double and shooter. Even if he had to take the blame and go to jail, he would never complain. Until the last bit of value was squeezed dry by his beloved 'family'. After she was sold, she only found out that everything was a scam before she died. When he woke up from his dream, his hatred surged to the heavens. Xia Shengge walked up to the stage from behind the scenes and stripped off all the glory of being a " sister." Her sister was a genius composer with a heavenly voice? I'm sorry, she wrote the lyrics and sang the song. Her sister was the top scorer of the college entrance examination and a top student? I'm sorry, she was the one who took the college entrance examination on behalf of me. My sister is a big idiot. His sister had countless big shots backing her up. Whoever touched her would die. Sorry, the real savior of those big shots was actually her. They turned around and praised her to the top. Her sister had a crush on Lu Jiucheng, the head of the Lu Corporation, for many years and had always hyped up that she was the only one worthy of Lu Jiucheng. Xia Shengge removed her ugly makeup and swore to take away everything that Xia Ruoling was obsessed with… No, wait! Forget it. Lu Jiucheng was a paranoid and sickly big shot. He was the famous " Life-Taking Yama " in Yun Du, and she really couldn't afford to offend him. However, when she turned around, Xia Shengge was blocked by Lu Jiucheng at the corner. He kissed her passionately on the lips." You were the one who provoked me first. Now you want to run away? Too late." * * * The nine cities of Shengge, a lifetime of gentleness. In this world, there were always some encounters because they were destined, and there were always some misses because they wanted to reunite. [The cold and paranoid sickly male protagonist who is only gentle to the female protagonist VS the reborn female protagonist who is committed to regaining her identity and taking revenge.]
