Clear Waves Stir Reflections, the Wild Wanderer Returns by Boat (Female-Dominated World)

Both reborn * Childhood sweethearts * Mutual unrequited love

After two unhinged people have their edges worn away by tyranny, they are still destroyed by it. Reborn, they reveal their true natures and gleefully slaughter their way through their enemies.

As the daughter of a founding general, Wenren Yao should not set her sights on Qi Wu, the Duke's only son.

She should play dumb, keep her talents hidden, and stay out of sight, never revealing the slightest edge. Only then could she protect her family from the so-called arts of imperial rule.

But Qi Wu's arrogance, recklessness, and disregard for royal authority were like a gale sweeping butterflies aside, brutally crashing into her resolve and shattering her defenses, determined to make her crush that timid, cowering heart of hers.

So she carefully hid herself away, telling herself that if she could only see him from afar and know he was well, that would be enough.

But the Emperor still refused to spare her and her family. In the end, he found an excuse to remove the thorn in his side.

Wenren Yao could only find it ironic.

She died under a baseless accusation, her heart shrouded in darkness. Yet just before she died, she saw Qi Wu rushing toward her, his treasonous feelings carried on the wind and snow, surging into the chest filled with her resentment and regret.

A thousand arrows through the heart could not compare to this pain.

Then she woke up, back before her mother left on a deadly expedition, before Qi Wu had told her that a certain princess wanted to take him as her husband.

The night Qi Wu came to see her, the air had been tense, but Wenren Yao smiled.

She looked at the still-young Qi Wu and pretended to joke with him.
