Reborn into an age of chaos, watch the protagonists turn the tide.
In their previous lives, Zheng Qiu and Chancellor Shen lived amid the turmoil of an ancient age of war. Zheng Qiu was naive and trusting, while Chancellor Shen devoted himself to serving his country. Betrayed by trusted allies, loved ones, and powerful family factions, they both died unjustly, and their nation teetered on the brink of collapse beneath enemy invasion. Reborn, Zheng Qiu transforms from an innocent “sweet fool” into a cunning “black lotus,” while Chancellor Shen, guided by his unwavering convictions, resolves to change their fate. They face the frenzied interference of their former enemies, who are acting out of fear. If they cannot exact revenge and break the old system, they will lose their cherished loved ones all over again and never get another chance to rise. Along the road to revenge, they face difficult choices: should they rely on the old powers to grow stronger quickly, or stay true to their principles and build slowly? Their weakness early in this new life, combined with emotional scars that make trust difficult, leaves them struggling. Resources are scarce in the chaotic age, and the old system bears down on them. Lies spread by their former enemies also sow misunderstandings between them and their new allies. With an enemy invasion imminent and time running out, the two protagonists must race to build a new kind of army. In the end, they succeed in taking revenge, but some of those they cherish have already died. Their victory is bittersweet, yet they bring new hope to the land and usher in a new chapter.
