[Two powerful leads & rebirth & love that grows over time & political intrigue & a slow, steady romance]
[An ailing but scheming Third Prince] × [A young general reborn to seek revenge]
A push and pull between love and hate
In his previous life, the young general Shen Lanyu fell in love with the enemy kingdom’s eldest princess and betrayed his country for her. He broke with his father and brothers for her, bringing ruin upon the loyal members of the Duke of Dingguo’s household. In the end, he was condemned for treason and hanged. Three cities were seized, and the Third Prince was forced to serve as a hostage in the enemy kingdom. Shen Lanyu thought that after doing so much for her, he would earn her true love. But what did he know of true love? All she had for him was a heart full of schemes. He suffered every humiliation in the enemy kingdom, and in the end, he died miserably on a snowy night. The enemy general tossed his body back across the border.
What he didn’t know was that the one who collected his body in the end was the Third Prince, Chao Jinhua, whose family he had destroyed. Shen Lanyu thought his life was over, that he was rotten to the core. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the military camp of the Lan’an Kingdom. He realized he had been reborn. He had intended to ask, “Are you here for revenge?”
Then he realized that things weren’t so simple. Why had the Third Prince been ordered to go to the enemy kingdom as a hostage ahead of schedule? Why were the floods in Jiangnan even worse? Whose scheme was this?
Other than rebirth, the story contains no supernatural events. This work contains no plagiarism. Some of the poetry and setting details are inspired by Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and Dream of the Red Chamber!!!
Overall it looks pretty good. But the front part may be a bit hard to understand, but the back part is fine. Damn, keep up the good work! 🤭
