A slow-paced story, not about someone being reborn, and driven by its plot. Readers who enjoy fast-paced revenge stories where the reborn heroine slaps everyone in the face, please look elsewhere. Readers who can't handle themes of duty to the country, please take note.
The richest heiress, cool and composed on the outside but lively and spirited within × the regent, cold and taciturn in public but a wounded puppy in private
In the Kingdom of Shuntian, during the final years of the Jiayou era, Qixi colludes with a prince within the palace to launch a rebellion from both within and without. War spreads everywhere, and the people suffer. Led by the great general who protects the nation, the soldiers commit the entire General's household to putting down the internal and external threats. At the cost of their whole family's lives, they save the Shuntian dynasty and successfully support the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne, ushering in the first year of the Chonghe era.
The war has only just ended, and the Kingdom of Shuntian lies in ruins. After ruling for several years, Emperor Chonghe falls ill from exhaustion. His younger brother, Ling Zhao, takes on the burden of governing as regent, ruling a kingdom that appears peaceful and prosperous but is actually so fragile it could crumble at any moment.
But Shuntian has only recently been founded. Its treasury is empty, other nations eye it hungrily, and their spies keep slipping into Shuntian. To help the kingdom overcome its internal and external troubles and gradually achieve peace and prosperity, Yu Sui'an takes up her sword once more.
The feelings between Yu Sui'an and Ling Zhao grow with every time they stand side by side, whether punishing evil and promoting good, defending their homeland, or helping the kingdom prosper through trade.
Love is understanding and loyalty, the four seasons and three meals a day, and the final parting between life and death.
Love is a small home, and it is a great nation.
Love is wishing that I and everything and everyone I cherish may live in peace and joy, year after year.
