In her previous life, Zhu Yingtai defied her father and disguised herself as a boy to study, all for the sake of following Liang Shanbo. In the end, they met a tragic fate, dying together and transforming into butterflies. Reborn at the time of their first meeting at the academy, she saw through Liang Shanbo’s pedantry and cowardice, and recognized the devotion and sense of responsibility hidden beneath Ma Wencai’s domineering exterior. In this life, she tore free of the shackles of stifling tradition and gave up her illusory dreams of romance, reaching out to Ma Wencai of her own accord. “Young Master Ma, will you marry me in this life?” From clashing at the academy to standing side by side at court, from their families’ repeated interference to weathering the turmoil of a chaotic age together, Zhu Yingtai uses the foresight and wisdom she gained through rebirth to build a brilliant future with Ma Wencai and create a new, happy legend that defies fate.
