The Kuique (Reborn)

"In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a bird called the Qique. It has a white head and tiger's claws, and eats people to avenge its grudges."

Blurb:

Disaster struck within his own family. His father and elder brother were killed, so he pretended to honor his brother's betrothal agreement. But on his wedding day, he raised an army to take revenge.

He loved her deeply, yet never knew that he had once killed her with his own hands.

She eloped with another man, only to fall into a trap. After escaping with her life and making it back to Yunzhou, she found a mountain of corpses and a river of blood waiting outside the city gates.

And his spear.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn to the moment she was eloping.

With smoke from the fires of war shrouding the city, generations-old enmity blinding them, and layer upon layer of misunderstanding between them,

could they continue the bond they had begun in another life?

✅ Rebirth | Love amid generations-old enmity | Only one remembers | Fated love on both sides | Political intrigue | Cunning warlord

Have you ever loved someone?

Have you ever, years later, suddenly heard news of that person, and felt your heart crack just a little, leaving an ugly scar?

That person is still a mountain and a sea, stretching across your memories.

Only you no longer set out to reach them.

Meng Li once loved Xu Wen.

Luckily, she only loved him once.

Later, Xu Wen came back. When someone asked why she avoided him like the plague, Meng Li patiently and seriously explained, "My doctor told me to avoid cold things."

And Xu Wen only understood what she meant on a night long afterward.
