Spring Festival Gala in the Capital

[Male lead reborn + traditional historical romance + revenge on scoundrels + marriage before love + mutual devotion]

Hai Yin, the legitimate daughter of the prominent Hai family in the capital, was tender and lovely. When she was six, she accompanied her mother to the Palace for the Flower Banquet and fell into the water. She was rescued by Zhou Yanxi, the eldest son of the current Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, and the two families arranged their marriage as a result.

Just as the wedding was approaching, the Zhou family broke off the engagement in a deeply humiliating manner. Hai Yin had only followed her elders' wishes and felt no special affection for Zhou Yanxi. She was simply furious and vowed to marry the best man in the world.

Zhou Yanxi: “Yin'er, I never wanted this. Please don't be sad.”

Hai Yin: “If you don't marry me, you're the one losing out. Why would I be sad?”

Xue Shi'an was twenty-five, a master of martial arts, noble and untroubled, and a decorated war hero. He was the dream man of countless noblewomen in the capital. But after being wounded in a battle against Nanzhao, he was bedridden for years and took his own life in the sixth year after returning to the capital.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back three years in the past. He had already spent three years in despair, and the third daughter of the Hai family was due to marry in less than a month. He remembered her previous life: after marrying into the Zhou family, she was betrayed, manipulated, and used. Her whole clan was wiped out, and she was eventually sold into a brothel. She resisted to the death and bit through her tongue to end her life.

Xue Shi'an decided to act at once. First, he would claim her for himself and protect her for the rest of her life.

The Hai family was on the brink of collapse, and the empire was beset by turmoil. Everyone thought the crippled young general had turned the tide. In this life, Hai Yin stood by his side, never leaving him.
