This naturally includes the world's chosen one, the male protagonist Helian Jue.
When he returned in triumph and first met Xia Momo at the flower-viewing banquet, he was deeply amazed by her difference from other noble ladies.
Xia Momo's bold laughter, her whimsical ideas, and even her impolite behavior all possess a fatal attraction.
However, Xia Momo, a woman who traveled from the modern era, was not a law-abiding citizen.
After transmigrating, she narcissistically believed that she was the center of this world, with the small world revolving around her, and therefore all outstanding men in the world should fall at her feet.
Thus, with her modern and vibrant personality, unlike the self-restrained and conventional ladies of noble families, she moved among the princes and nobles of various kingdoms, and even more so, she freely stirred the hearts of princes from other countries.
But what's even more fatal is that this is an era of imperial power, and Xia Momo has always held onto the modern ideal of equality for all.
This is an extremely dangerous way of thinking, no less dangerous than a child carrying a torch breaking into a gunpowder magazine.
Moreover, she not only had an overflowing sense of compassion, but also acted extremely impulsively, even ignoring rules and class divisions, and repeatedly making saintly gestures that challenged the foundations of this feudal world.
The Jade Dynasty was in turmoil due to the unorthodox ideas brought by Xia Momo. In addition, Helian Jue, who had been promoted to regent, implemented an iron-fisted rule in an attempt to turn the tide, which caused discontent and resentment to spread throughout the court and the country.
Although Helian Jue held immense power and possessed both wisdom and courage, and devoted all his efforts to saving the crumbling empire, he ultimately could not withstand the combined attacks of internal and external troubles, as well as natural and man-made disasters.
His once loyal subordinates wavered in despair, and his former allies betrayed him for personal gain, leading him step by step to a desperate situation where he was abandoned by everyone.
On the night the capital fell, the flames of war lit up half the sky, turning the magnificent palaces that symbolized the glory of the dynasty into a fiery inferno.
The Jade Dynasty, which had lasted for hundreds of years, collapsed in a tragic song of blood and fire.
Helian Jue fought to the very last moment, his armor tattered and his body covered in blood.
Just as he was on the verge of exhaustion, his gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield and caught sight of the figure he had once considered an interest in—it was Xia Momo. She was being half-protected and half-embraced by a prince from an enemy country, being led away from this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
That one glance extinguished the last glimmer of light in his eyes.
Filled with endless grief, resentment, and disillusionment, he finally fell upon the shattered land he had sworn to protect with his life.
However, all of this is merely the original trajectory predetermined in the first cycle of this world.
Whether it was a loophole in the operation of the Heavenly Dao or a bug, this small world underwent a change in the second cycle of reincarnation.
When the gears of fate turned to a similar starting point again, Helian Jue, a paper doll that originally only existed in the stories of the small world, suddenly awakened at a certain moment.
A vast secret surged into his mind, revealing the tragic nature of him and Xia Momo. They were merely characters in a storybook, wantonly painted and repeatedly reenacted in the hands of a higher being.
His love and hate with her, the rise and fall of the dynasty, the blood of countless soldiers and the cries of the people, are all just predetermined plots that have been written long ago!
As proud as Helian Jue was, how could he accept his fate because of this?
With his awakened will, he struggles in every cycle of reincarnation, trying to grasp the slim chance of survival and reverse the fate of the Jade Dynasty's demise.
He adjusted his strategy, avoided traps, and even distanced himself from Xia Momo, the source of the trouble.
However, fate is like this, as if God is always controlling everything behind the scenes. No matter how hard he tries or how he plans, he will always encounter irresistible coincidences and accidents at key moments, shattering all his efforts.
The flames of war rose again and again in the Yuli Dynasty, and the fall of the capital was repeated time and time again. The unforgettable pain of national subjugation, like a malignant tumor, gnawed at Helian Jue's awakened consciousness in endless cycles.
If the cycle of reincarnation continues endlessly, is there any point in him doing this?
