    The premise is incredibly captivating: dual rebirth + a "wife-chasing-after-the-crowd" scenario + a clean-cut happy ending for both characters. In her past life, Jiang Zhaoxue helped Xiao Zhuo ascend the throne, only to be betrayed and killed by him, ultimately leading to her suicide by self-immolation in despair. 😡 After her rebirth, Jiang Zhaoxue is focused on revenge and building her career, while Xiao Zhuo transforms into a devoted and loyal lover, relentlessly pursuing her. He hands her the knife when she commits murder, provides her with imperial edicts when she seizes power, and even barks like a dog—humble yet deeply affectionate.
