"Fate Defier" Bu Jingqiu and "Regicide" Baili Xiao
Bu Jingqiu was once an empress, high above all others.
Prince Qi Baili Xiao personally cut down the tyrant's head.
But she took her own life in the palace, and Chaoyang City lost its greatest beauty forever.
Baili Xiao once thought dying for love was an ancient legend.
Until he saw her cold corpse, he had never had a reason to keep living.
She thought he was still the cold-blooded regicide from her past life, never knowing that his battle standard had always been embroidered with a white camellia.

Reborn in a new life, Baili Xiao set his sword against three things:
Cut the ill-fated bond between Bu Jingqiu and Baili Cheng!
Protect Crown Prince Baili Chen's life.
Kick Baili Cheng out.
"I seized this realm to protect you."
"The one I have always wanted to protect was never the throne, but the person who dared to carve out a path for women in a chaotic age."
"The realm is too great a burden. How about I take you to see the misty rains of Jiangnan?"
-
The white camellia was reborn amid a pool of blood. She would live for herself, depending on no one.
Her name was Bu Jingqiu.
Jing, as in breathtaking; Qiu, as in autumn.
The regicide became a guardian, and the fate defier became a pioneer.
"Women were never meant to be sacrifices in a chaotic age."
"I will stand atop the mountains and gaze upon the new world we forged together."
"Jingqiu, how do you think the history books should write about us?"
"Just write: The regicide and the fate defier are both gone."

Ensemble cast / dual rebirth / character growth
An alternate history in an alternate dynasty, everything is made up until you're sick of it!
Not many thrilling moments, slow pacing, part angst and part feel-good.
Because true rebirth is not about correcting the past, but creating a new world where more women can live with their heads held high.
The writing is beautiful, I like the female characters in it🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
