[Female Lead Reborn + Rekindled Romance + Both Leads Pure in Both Their Lives]
Xu Chengyue thought she could share a loving marriage with her cousin, but she didn't know her aunt had no intention of letting her marry into the family. To break off the engagement, her aunt gave her a potion that left her unable to bear children.
At the time, both her parents were dead, and there was no one to stand up for her. Her grandmother wanted to secure the title and planned to send her to the Grand Preceptor's residence as a concubine.
She fled the capital and concealed her identity. Only then did she realize how vast the world was, and that women confined to the inner quarters were no more than birds in cages.
For ten years on the border, she drew her bow to kill enemies and wielded silver needles to save lives. Yet she could not withstand the emperor's incompetence, and died a tragic death on the day Suchuan City fell.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the spring banquet at age sixteen.
The beaded curtain stirred, and the peonies were in full bloom. She would make those who owed her pay back every debt, with interest.
Jiang Yan, heir to the Prince of Jing, was born among the clouds, but suffered a devastating setback in the prime of his youth.

She said, "Husband, I'll help you soar to the heavens."
This time, they would no longer be duckweed at the mercy of fate. They would be each other's sharpest blades, carving out a place for themselves in the halls of power.
