Given a second chance after a life of tragic mistakes, the wealthy heiress Tang Ling Yi is reborn just before she is set to divorce Huo Ting Chuan, the honest martial arts school owner whom she had previously betrayed for a scoundrel. Determined to right her past wrongs, she immediately protects her husband, fiercely dismantles plots against them, and uses her wit and medical expertise to overcome the mounting challenges and suspicions surrounding her sudden change of heart. As she navigates their turbulent marriage, the rigid Huo Ting Chuan gradually softens and proves his devotion, even adapting his conservative lifestyle for her. Ultimately, as a major conspiracy looms amid the chaos of war, the reborn couple must join forces to protect their love and forge a new legend of redemption together.

A tale of rebirth with martial art lessons, comic relief and romantic twists
I was preparing for a reddit post on Xie Yu Wang's dramas and this drama was one of the new releases. I decided to watch for the assignment and wow, I didn't expect to enjoy it so much. I even included in my list of Top 5 Xie Yu Wang dramas.What I liked:
1. Tone - Reborn tale with comedic twist. FL was always in scenarios that provided comic relief. There were dramatic / serious scenes in the second half of the drama and they were done well.
2. Setup - The drama showed differences between traditionalist vs modern / Western mindset and I enjoyed those scenes.
3. FL characterisation - She was repented of her past behaviour towards ML. I liked that she was feisty and charming.
4. Romance - Arranged marriage with frosty dynamic between the leads. After rebirth, FL tried to win over ML's heart. I liked that FL initiated dates with him. There were several tender & romantic moments and a few spicy scenes.
5. ML characterisation - . ML was a Mr Nice Guy who wanted to believe in the best of FL but past bad deeds made him doubt her.
6. Martial arts - ML was a martial art practitioner and I loved those scenes in the dojo. The lessons were entertaining and somewhat romantic. The use of English was amusing.
7. Styling - Loved ML's outfits. I favoured FL's traditional outfits.
What I disliked:
1. Styling - FL's Western gowns felt out of place, I find. Some dresses were unflattering.
2. Antagonists - FL's former paramour was pathetic and disrespectful. The maid's daughter was delusional & rude. Their scheming was unbelievable.
Favourite scene
When FL & ML made love for the first time
