Ertai's Counterattack in the New Return of the Pearl

The story takes place in the court of the Qing Dynasty. Ertai witnessed Xiao Yanzi being abandoned by his fifth elder brother Yongqi in his previous life and living a happy life with Xinrong. Ziwei and Xinrong actually became best friends. Xiao Yanzi eventually died of illness. Desperate Ertai cut his wrists in front of Xiao Yanzi's grave to accompany him. After rebirth, Ertai returned to the day when Xiao Yanzi was injured, determined to change his destiny. At this time, the fifth elder brother Yongqi, under family pressure and his own vanity, wanted to marry Xinrong, abandoned Xiao Yanzi like a pair of shoes, and prevented Ertai from getting close to Xiao Yanzi at all costs. Although Ertai, as a minister, has limited power, his deep love for Xiao Yanzi makes him desperate. At the same time, Xiao Yanzi is wavering in his feelings due to his past life experience, which makes Ertai have many difficulties in his pursuit. Ziwei and Xinrong are still as friendly as they were in their previous lives, but in reality they have hidden agendas, concealing and taking advantage of Xiao Yanzi, which puts Xiao Yanzi's trust in the people around him at risk. The oppression of the old palace system puts Ertai in a dilemma, whether to compromise for stability or to fight and pursue true love. Xiao Yanzi's injuries are as urgent as a countdown. If she cannot be treated in time, she will die again in her previous life. During this process, the betrayal and use of various forces in the palace put the relationship between Ertai and Xiaoyanzi at risk of collapse. But Ertai relied on the memory brought by rebirth and cleverly planned to gradually reveal the true colors of Ziwei and Xinrong, breaking the fifth elder brother's wishful thinking. In the end, Ertai succeeded in changing Xiao Yanzi's fate, and the two joined hands to break the shackles of the old court system on them.
