In his previous life, Chu Hanshan was the most iron-blooded prince of a different surname in Dayin.
He handed the imperial wedding cup to his consort, Xie Tingyun, and coldly watched him drain it as his spiritual power scattered.
Three years later, at Yanmenguan, amid a mountain of corpses and a river of blood, that man, clad in white stained with blood, took a fatal arrow for him. As he lay dying, he said only:
“Chu Hanshan, I kept your realm… safe.”
Reborn on the night of their wedding.
He watched Xie Tingyun calmly lift that golden cup of poison once more. Suddenly, he rose, snatched it away in the dead silence of the hall, and drank it down.
As blood splattered across the floor, he laughed hoarsely at the horrified look in the other's eyes:
“Look closely. The poison is in me now.”
“Xie Tingyun, from this day on, your life is mine to command.”
Later
Rumors spread throughout the court that the Prince of Zhenbei had gone mad.
He locked his injured consort in their bedchamber and personally fed him medicine and changed his clothes, only to be coldly pushed away time and again.
When a censor impeached him in open court for being “blinded by desire,” he snapped his jade tablet in two on the spot:
“My consort is not yours to criticize!”
When enemy assassins infiltrated the prince's residence, he snapped the killer's neck, then turned and softened his voice toward the person behind the screen:
“Tingyun, close your eyes. It's dirty.”
Everyone thought the powerful prince was forcing himself on his consort in a one-sided act of domination.
Until the flames of war rose again at Yanmenguan, and Chu Hanshan was trapped in a desperate situation.
On the day an army of a hundred thousand besieged the city, the consort who had always been cool and distant appeared atop the walls, dressed in bloodstained white.
Using his finger as a brush and blood as ink, he drew an ancient forbidden array in the air, one that could reverse life and death.
As the stars fell, Xie Tingyun collapsed into his arms, blood seeping from every orifice, yet the corner of his bloodstained lips curved upward:
Machiavellian accounting accounts for 8, and emotion accounts for 2. The plot concept and clue relationship are very strict, and the character creation is very deep. I like to use psychological description to reflect the character's state. Let me tell you about my early impressions. I feel that the story was mostly told from Gong's perspective in the early stages. The storyline was too little. Gong was reborn, but their feelings for each other were very obscure. Both parties were not good at expressing themselves and were not proactive. It can be seen from some of the behaviors of giving to each other that the two people actually have a deep relationship, but both parties are silent and sick. It's like I can give everything to you, but I will not take the initiative to say it or show it. You need to guess. I hope that after rebirth, I can be more proactive, not only to care more about Shou, but also to express the love I didn't express in my previous life without reservation, otherwise I feel a bit like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The plot is unpredictable for everyone. The protagonist is in dire straits at any time, which is too complicated. On the contrary, there are few stories about the two people. However, the world view and story are very strong, and the excitement of the plot makes up for the lack of emotional connection between the two people. However, for viewers who like to watch emotions, it focuses too much on the plot.
It's pretty good, I hope it ends well
