Yue Heng is reborn, rises to fame as a youth, and fights four kingdoms over seven years to pacify the border.
Gu Xianyu, the richest merchant in Qingzhou, arrives in the capital to collect a debt. To keep a low profile, she acts modest and proper, but the capital's treacherous currents still close in around her.
Though she keeps yielding at every turn, someone is always secretly protecting her. As a merchant, she knows that no kindness comes without a reason.
Yue Heng remembers his previous life and believes in the nonsense of fate binding two people together until death.
He overthrows the incompetent, tyrannical old emperor and supports a new ruler. With him driving events from behind the scenes, a new struggle for power begins in court...
In their previous lives, they were each other's only family. The sands beyond Xuelan Pass bore witness to them standing side by side.
Later
I am Gu Xianyu, the richest merchant in Qingzhou. I donate fifty thousand taels of silver to buy grain for the border people returning to their homeland.
When repaying a life-saving favor, should she give gold, silver, and land deeds, rare books and paintings, or a beautiful wife and concubines?
Yue Heng: We're close friends.
Gu Xianyu: General Yue, are you in love with me?
