What is Legend of the Female General about?

To keep her family's noble title, He Yan spends her youth disguised as the family heir and wins fame on the battlefield as the general Feihong, until the family decides it no longer needs her and she is betrayed. She survives, takes on a new identity and joins the army again as a lowly recruit, where she ends up serving under Xiao Jue, a celebrated general and her old classmate, who soon suspects she is not who she claims to be. As the two work out whether to trust each other, she sets out to reclaim her name and expose the people who betrayed her.
