Use a Lifetime to Repay What I Owed in My Past Life

[Note: This is a period rebirth story about helping the world, with no central romance. It focuses on redemption, family and country, and medicine. Readers who prefer romance should proceed with caution.]

In her previous life, Cuihua was a child bride whose life was worth less than a blade of grass. After losing two sons in succession, she was crushed by unbearable grief. Burdened by guilt over her young daughter Xiaonan, she passed away.

Carrying that heavy obsession with her, she was reborn amid the fires of war in Republican-era China, as a baby named Ahua and the younger sister of Xiaonan.

As smoke rose on all sides and the world grew unpredictable, the turmoil of the age swept the two sisters into its current.

Ahua devoted herself to studying traditional Chinese medicine. Amid the bombardment and smoke, she saved the wounded, practiced medicine and helped people in the chaos of war, navigated underground struggles, sought the truth about her origins, and fulfilled a martyr’s dying request.

Xiaonan held fast to her ideals and set out on her own path through the turbulent years.

War scattered them, and the fate of the nation hung in the balance.

A heart full of regret, a life full of courage.

Bound together across two lives and decades of turmoil, she spent her whole life trying to make up for the countless regrets of abandoning her young daughter in her previous life and failing in her duty as a mother.
