Two formidable leads + reborn + top-tier combat skills + mutual salvation + ensemble cast
The female assassin, who could only move through the darkness, died at the hands of the person she loved most. When she awoke reborn, she had become the daughter of a noble family.
In this new life, she enjoys all the comforts she never had before, cherished by everyone around her. At last, she knows the warmth of family.
Yet this exceptionally skilled young woman advances cautiously at every turn, determined to uncover the truth behind her tragic death in her previous life.
Xie Cheng, born into one of the most powerful clans, was cast aside by his family as a child. Perhaps the day he returns will be the day the Xie clan falls.
On the day he returned victorious from battle, he thought, How wonderful it would be if she were by my side.
He will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her tragic death.
No one can escape the constraints of their times as history surges onward. The truth may be easy to find, but true feelings are hard to express.
Shen Yishu finally learns the truth about her previous life. But the past is gone. How can I help you now?
Even mired in the muck, Shen Yishu dares to point her sword at the nobility. “My sword is for killing. I can dance with it, but do you have the life to watch?”
Even with someone to rely on, she is still accustomed to shouldering everything alone.
Despite the weight of his responsibilities, Xie Cheng cannot hold back his feelings. “I know there are things I must do in this life besides loving you. But whenever I see you, I can’t help wanting to draw closer.”
“I’m never afraid of pain.”
“But I am. I’m afraid you’ll be hurt.”
Only in the end does Xie Cheng understand that she has always been by his side. She was then, and she still is now. She isn’t following him; they stand shoulder to shoulder.
One day, after crossing a thousand mountains, we’ll stand together at the summit, looking back at the past and toward the future.
