In his previous life, Xue Pinggui drank the poisoned wine and died a miserable death in the Golden Throne Hall. At his side were Daizhan's tear-streaked eyes, while far away lay the lonely grave where Wang Baochuan had waited eighteen years.
The wheels of fate roared backward, and he returned to that chilly morning when he was eighteen!
The tragedies had yet to unfold, and every ill-fated bond could still be severed!
He rescued the panicked daughter of the Prime Minister from the edge of a cliff, but no longer lingered or got entangled with her. He saved her, turned, and walked away without leaving so much as his name. The dream of winning a bride at the matchmaking tower? The whirlpool of royal power struggles? To hell with all of it! All he wanted was to protect his adoptive father's family and never again let his loved ones get dragged into trouble because of him!
He trained in martial arts, joined the army, and ventured to the frontier, using the memories of his previous life to plan his every move.
Amid the flames of war at the border, he reunited with Daizhan, the bright and spirited princess of Xiliang. In this life, there were no national grudges or family feuds to keep them apart, only the fervor of fighting side by side and the sincerity of their love for each other!
Conspiracies swirled beneath the court, but he had prepared in advance. A royal rebellion was on the verge of breaking out, but he turned the tide and saved the emperor, his father, whom he had never met!
By the time the long-hidden dragon jade came to light and his royal identity was revealed to the world, he already held military power, had his beloved by his side, and had secured the nation behind him!
Reborn, Xue Pinggui would no longer be a pawn for others to manipulate! He would rewrite his fate with his own hands, sever ill-fated ties, hold fast to true love, and remain true to both his country and his beloved, creating an age of peace and prosperity unlike any other!
