[Currently drafting] Fu Bohan should have been celebrating two joyous occasions, but a treacherous villain framed him. He died far from home, and his beloved suffered a horrific fate.
Reborn and returned to the capital, he is fortunate to find his homeland still standing. With the support of his colleagues, he regains his position as regent and sets out on a long journey to win his beloved back.
He thinks winning her back will be smooth sailing.
But snow blankets the cities, and bitter frost grips the borders.
Meng Xia is also reborn. She takes the imperial examinations, advocates for women officials, and changes the imperial system. When the borderlands are invaded again, she turns the tide through sheer force of will.
She decides perhaps she needn't be bound by love, and sets out to make her mark and pursue her lofty ambitions.
When Fu Bohan sees Meng Xia again, the first thing that catches his eye is a national mentor with sky-high ambitions.
Fu Bohan lets her be. There's nothing wrong with the girl having lofty ambitions. He only worries about other people's schemes upending everything. As he continues to test the waters, a prince defects to the enemy and rebels, forcing them to share each other's fate. A villain from the enemy nation gains the upper hand, swords drawn and tempers flaring. Amid turmoil and uncertainty, they strive together for dominion, eliminate treacherous villains, and bring peace to the land, hoping to see a golden age return.
On the Gobi, in the chill of night, the beacon fires gradually die out. Only moonlight shines on the road home.
When the spring breeze returns, they will take up their brushes and paint a splendid future anew.
Theme: Stay positive.
