After being reborn, the moonlight of his heart became his cinnabar mole once again. You were both the white rose and the red rose, and I have lost you forever.

After being reborn, Chu Xuan pretended to be the miracle doctor Chong Tai and entered the Jiang Kingdom. All he wanted was to find Huai Yu, the woman he had loved in his previous life, and continue the fate they had left unfinished.
Even though everyone told him that Jiang Huan and he were a match made in heaven, he was still determined to cut the red thread tying them together.
Jiang Huan had also been reborn. She wanted to marry into a neighboring country in exchange for its troops to rescue her brother. But the neighboring country's crown prince, who had relentlessly pursued her in her previous life, no longer wanted to marry her.
Her brother had also survived the battlefield, saved by the miracle doctor Chong Tai and returned home alive.
What was the point of being reborn, then?
Perhaps she could seek out the man she had loved in her previous life, whose face she had never seen and whose name was all she knew.
Mistaking Zhu Yun for a playboy, Jiang Huan instead began a new relationship with the miracle doctor Chong Tai. There were plenty of men in the world. Why should this princess fixate on just one?

Even after living a second life, Chu Xuan was still drawn to another identity of the same person. They fell in love amid suspicion and testing, and while they were in love, he pushed Jiang Huan into an abyss, all so he could find Huai Yu, whom he had long since held in his arms.
If he had stayed true to one person, he might have been praised as a devoted lover. But after marrying "Huai Yu," his moonlight became a clingy burden, and his thoughts filled with the woman he had abandoned.

"Was it the wind that moved, or the banner? Is the cycle of rebirth really any different?"
If they fall in love with each other again without knowing the truth, will the ending be any different?
++++ A career-minded (perhaps) heroine X a love-addled (definitely) hero. Both reborn.
Some side couples with a little screen time:
Neighboring country's crown prince x princess's maid: The replacement for the replacement turns out to be me
Pure-hearted crown prince x scheming courtesan: Married first, love later, and she triumphs over his childhood sweetheart to become empress
++++ Content warnings:
++++ 1. Fate brings people together, but keeping them together takes hard work (?)
++++ 2. Everyone is a villain. Every romance ends in tragedy.
Warning: This story is a minefield. Come take the plunge, mwah!
Premise: The importance of communicating in a timely manner.
