She fought north and south to protect her homeland in a time of chaos, only to be sent to another kingdom as a political bride by an imperial decree from her own younger brother.
She plotted every move and gave her heart to one person, only for him to serve her a cup of poisoned wine and kill her on the very day the realm was unified.
Looking back on this life, she never failed the world, but she alone owed her husband a life, a lifetime of devotion, and a song of peace across the land.
Reborn once more, Xiao Lan wishes only to protect Chu Liyue’s homeland and keep it safe with the sword in her hand.
My heart, vast as deep waters, rests with the bright moon. In this life, I will not betray the love we share.
The story is good, but the interweaving of present and past lives at the beginning can be confusing. The author could provide some hints earlier on, as it can be a bit mentally taxing. This story is different from others I've read where the male lead is more beautiful than the female lead 🤭🤭🤭, but it's still quite enjoyable. It focuses on national affairs and political intrigue.
The story is original, but the transition and alternation between past and present lives is somewhat abrupt.
