She met him when he was at his lowest, and married him when he was at his proudest. They had known each other since childhood, growing up together as childhood sweethearts. She was the Great Princess of the Daqing Empire, cherished by all and wielding power over the realm; he was a young boy from a neighboring kingdom. In her previous life, she trusted the wrong people, destroying her marriage with her own hands, along with her life and her homeland. Reborn, Xie Shu swears to defend her family and country, protect her love, and rise to the top.
Fu Sheng: Trading my imperial destiny for your chance to be reborn was worth it.
Xie Shu: It certainly was. After marrying me, the Phoenix-born woman, aren't you going to rule the world anyway? What good is an imperial destiny? You'll still need me.
Now that she's been reborn, Xie Shu believes in just one thing: “Life is short, and fallen leaves return to their roots. I return to you.”

Is the female lead a modern person who time-traveled?
