Rebirth: The General's Sanity
In a past life, Daphne was a concubine whose quiet beauty won the Emperor's heart, but earned the Empress's deadly wrath. Betrayed and poisoned, she died a tragic death, her final moments spent in the arms of a cold, powerful general who swore to find her in the next life.
But fate has a different plan. Daphne is reborn, returned to a time before her family's ruin and her own gruesome end. Armed with a mind sharpened by a lifetime of regret and a body she now vows to make unbreakable, she forges a new path. She will not be a pawn again. This time, she will protect her family and defy the destiny that took her life.
General Alaric , the man who had loved her secretly in her past life, a living legend, a name whispered with a mix of awe and terror on every battlefield. His reputation is not merely earned, it is absolute. No fortress is too strong, no army too vast, no tactical puzzle too complex for his genius. His mind is a weapon as sharp as any blade, a cold, calculating engine of strategy that sees five moves ahead, anticipating every feint and turning every defeat into a victory. This unparalleled intelligence, however, is cloaked in a chilling exterior. He is a man of few words and even fewer emotions, a stoic force who views the world with an icy detachment. Yet, beneath his calm surface lies a fiercely possessive nature. What Alaric desires, he claims, and what he claims, he holds with an unbreakable grip. This possessiveness is the darker twin to his battlefield prowess, a ruthless, unyielding trait that ensures once he decides something is his, be it territory, loyalty, or a woman, he will stop at nothing to secure it.
The General, unaware of her foresight, sees only a young woman whose uncanny wisdom is both intriguing and unsettling.
Now, Daphne must navigate a treacherous court filled with enemies and whispers. Can she earn the trust of the very man who once tried to save her? Can she convince him of a danger he cannot see? And can she change their tragic destiny, turning a cold alliance into a love that was promised in another life?
