In the troubled times of Qingzhou, heroes emerged in large numbers. Ling Yun, a young man from an ordinary background, has great ambitions and longs to make his way in this troubled world. Su Yao, a talented girl from a scholarly family, is well-read in poetry and books, and has the world in mind. The two were supposed to work together to create peace in Qingzhou, but they were betrayed in their previous lives and ended up with hatred.
Destiny gave them a chance to come back. Ling Yun and Su Yao were both reborn, bringing with them the memories and painful experiences of their previous lives and returned to the critical moment before the tragedy. This time, they are no longer naive idealists, but "Black Lotus" with the fire of revenge.
Taking advantage of the information gap brought by rebirth, Ling Yun and Su Yao began to accurately revenge their enemies in the previous life. They resolved the deadlock, protected the people they cherished, and made powerful allies they missed in their previous lives. Ling Yun relied on his military talents to form a powerful army; Su Yao used her wisdom to strategize and handle government affairs.
However, their rise has aroused the vigilance of all parties. Rival forces began to unite in an attempt to stifle this new force. Ling Yun and Su Yao face a greater challenge: should they choose personal revenge or save the people of Qingzhou? Is it the pursuit of personal power or the establishment of an ideal New Deal?
