    This is a historical romance novel by Tomato! It features a cold-hearted, world-weary male protagonist and a female protagonist who defies fate. The male protagonist's entire family is loyal and righteous, yet he is framed and tormented. He is reborn multiple times, but none of these rebirths can change his predetermined destiny. However, the female protagonist's appearance is the biggest variable. Their lives become intertwined across two lifetimes, a constant clash of titans, a battle of wits and schemes! The female protagonist doesn't actively seek to redeem the world-weary male protagonist, but her actions subtly guide him out of his dark life! Not only is she highly skilled in martial arts and exudes a powerful aura, but she is also remarkably free-spirited and open-minded, unbound by fate! Even though she is already incredibly powerful, she continues to climb to even greater heights! The characters in this book are exceptionally well-developed!
