In her previous life, he died in defeat while protecting her, and watched with his own eyes as she fell to her death. Reborn in this life, he disguises himself as a failure and deliberately loses again and again, all to rewrite the fate that led to her death.
She is a glimmer of light who transmigrated into his life, becoming the obsession that binds together his two lifetimes. From devotion to misunderstanding, from love to bitter enmity, he buries all his tenderness while she suffers heartbreak.
The world mocks him as useless, unaware that his heart was laid to rest across two lifetimes. When the mists finally lift, the truth comes drenched in blood: even a vast empire is worth less than the faint light between your brows.
The embers never die. For you, I am reborn.
