Mu Hanyue is reborn before her coming-of-age ceremony. This time, it isn't too late to change anything.
Raised by her grandmother the Empress Dowager and showered with love by the entire royal family, Mu Hanyue never imagined as a girl that she would cause the people of the realm to endure years of war, leaving the borderlands strewn with corpses.
In her previous life, she was consumed by guilt and self-reproach. She sank into depression, fell gravely ill, and died with regrets.
Now that she has a second life, she wants to figure out what Crown Prince Gai Heng of the enemy kingdom could possibly like about her, when he was willing to do whatever it took to make her grandmother agree to send her away for a political marriage.
They had barely interacted when they were young. At most, they were acquaintances who greeted each other with a nod before passing by.
She resents him for provoking a five-year war between the two countries out of his own selfish desire. Yet she is also grateful to him, because he helped her see Mu Linxiao's true, despicable nature and spared her the suffering of being used and deceived after marriage.
With these complicated feelings, Mu Hanyue watches him in secret and discovers that the man she had thought was merely an acquaintance had been watching over her in every corner she couldn't see. It wouldn't be wrong to say he had been protecting her all along.
It's hard to imagine the crown prince who provoked a war between two countries and personally went to the battlefield to force her into marriage as the same man who had silently watched over her. So what had really turned the two countries into a blood-soaked battlefield back then?
Was it really, as everyone in the realm claimed, that Gai Heng destroyed her homeland because he loved her but couldn't have her?
The male lead is a devoted, protective romantic in both lives. If she's doing well, he'll simply watch over her. If she's not, he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back and keep her safe.
