Everyone knows that the Liang Dynasty has two rulers: the Liang Emperor and Princess Zhaoyang, the Emperor's elder sister.
Using the favor he owes her as a mother figure, the Liang Emperor spoils Princess Zhaoyang beyond all reason. All her life, she is defiant and unruly, reckless and unrestrained, and sinister and ruthless in her methods. She is famed throughout the land for a single performance of the Phoenix Canon Dance. Though arrogant, uninhibited, and hot-tempered, she is also renowned in the capital as an unparalleled beauty.
The capital's unmatched beauty, the third son of the Qin family, and the fifth daughter of the Wang family.
Then disaster strikes: the Qin family is destroyed, and Zhaoyang is reborn.
*
Living her life over has taught her that a second chance isn't necessarily a good thing.
She schemed against her family, the whole world, and him most of all.
Even her own death was part of her plan.
At the start of this life, that feeling of helplessness makes her more and more afraid.

He nodded, then suddenly stopped and turned around with a smile.
Looking at Qin Shaoyan, he said slowly, word by word, "Remember to take good care of my elder sister."
"If you can't take good care of her, what use are you to me?"
*
"They're only a few dead cities. You've certainly gone to a lot of trouble over them."
"The cities are dead. Is your heart dead too?" Xie Yuan stared fixedly at him.
"Or can you sleep in this dead city with your wife's and children's cold bodies, then wake to the shame the Xiongnu have branded into your very bones?"
She drew her sword from her waist and looked at him coldly.
"If I were you, I'd drink Xiongnu blood by day and eat Xiongnu flesh by night."
"If I were you, I'd assemble the troops and fight my way back, even if it meant losing my head."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to go on living."
*
"Would you like to change your name?"
"No."
"I want to be Xie Yuyuan."
My elder sister is my abyss. I am with her.
*
He endured the burning pain in his soles and looked at her with a bright smile.
Don't cry.
I know. I know. I know.
I'm sorry I made you bear so much.
I'm sorry. In this life, I won't leave you alone again.
The female lead is reborn. The male lead recovers his memories of his previous life later on.
They aren't biological siblings, but neither of them knew that in their previous lives.
