   In his past life, he was a deposed crown prince poisoned, and she was an orphaned daughter of a military family who died with resentment for him. When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Di was back three years earlier, on the day of the palace banquet, only seven days before Jiang Zhiyi was framed and killed. This time, he was reborn with a new lease on life: seven days to turn the tide, a hundred days to purge the court, and three years to pacify the land. In this meticulously planned game of power, his only unwavering obsession was to protect the woman he had wronged his entire life. When she arrived in full armor, leading her iron cavalry, standing shoulder to shoulder with him amidst the bloody palace coup; when he defied public opinion and left the six palaces empty, they held hands in the Zichen Palace, vowing "one love for one lifetime." This journey of rebirth ultimately became a timeless legend of the emperor and empress's united hearts. —Reborn, I don't want vast empires, I only want you.
