[Reborn + warlord + rekindled romance + devoted love and indulgence + loyal to each other + the hero loves her with all his heart]
In the 1940s, Gu Lingyi, the spoiled and willful daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant, tries to elope on her wedding night but fails. She is forced to marry Luo Chuan, a live-in son-in-law.
Half a year later, her family is destroyed and she falls into ruin. The husband she had despised in every way quietly shoulders the burden of caring for her and her ailing mother amid the flames of war, eventually becoming the commander of a powerful military region.
They survive famine, raise children, and stumble through a lifetime of hardship together. When she is paralyzed at eighty, she and Luo Chuan, by then also old and confined to a wheelchair, gaze at each other from afar in silence, with only disappointment between them. In this life, she resents his coldness, his leaving, and his lack of romance. Only after she dies, paralyzed at eighty, does she learn that the man she thought had long become a stranger gave his life for her.
In an instant, she is reborn on the wedding night that changed her fate.
Red candles flicker, and the room is filled with celebration.
Suppressing her excitement, she thinks she can avoid the pain of her family's ruin, the sight of her parents dying horribly, and the loss of her child during the famine. But she never expects the first words from the man who gave his life for her to be, “Miss Gu, let's get a divorce.”
