Reborn, the iron-willed empress Feng Qingyan returns to the moment when everything first went wrong.
Facing Xiao Jue, the commander of her hidden guards whom she once forced to be hers and who will one day die saving her, she vows to do everything in her power to make amends.
She makes him her empress consort and gives her devotion to him alone.
Yet even in the face of her lavish affection, he remains respectful and distant, as if concealing endless secrets.
She does not know that every time the court escapes disaster, he has fought through the night, drenched in blood.
She cannot understand that every crisis in the harem is quietly resolved through his careful efforts.
Only when he takes another fatal blow for her during the palace coup, his robe stained red with blood...
Does she finally realize that beneath his silent loyalty lies a deep love that has gone unspoken across two lifetimes.
In this life, can she see through the layers of deception, protect her loyal consort, and overturn the death sentence fate has in store?
