She plays along. Letting the enemy know you're aware of his hidden agenda is not a good plan. Xing Er acts with Yan Xun. Meanwhile, Zhuge Yue orders his men to investigate.

ZHUGE YUE IS MY FAV !!

I’ve finished watching Episodes 28–29, and I truly loved them—I enjoyed every moment. The story keeps getting more powerful and emotional with each episode.
One of the highlights for me was watching Zhuge Yue, as the King of Ximeng, fight to secure his throne against his own general who refused to accept his rule. That scene was intense and meaningful—it showed his strength, determination, and rightful authority as a king.
I also loved the moment when he proved himself to the King of Lingyue. It was such a strong and symbolic scene, especially when he revealed his true identity without the Ximeng mask. Seeing the people finally believe in him, respect him, and accept him as their king was so satisfying and emotional. It really showed his leadership and sincerity toward his people.
The quieter moments were just as beautiful—especially when he and Chu Qiao were alone together, talking about the people they love. That scene felt very heartfelt and meaningful. I found it so romantic when Zhuge Yue said he loved three people—Xing’er from Qingshan Manor, Chu Qiao the general of the Xuili Army, and the Queen of Ximeng. And yet, all three are the same person—his Queen. That was such a touching and poetic way of expressing his love.
Chu Qiao’s response was equally emotional. When she said she loved three people—Yan Xun, Li Ce, and most of all Zhuge Yue, her husband and the King of Ximeng—it showed her growth, her past, and where her heart truly belongs now. That moment was deeply romantic and sincere.
I also love how Zhuge Yue protects everyone that Chu Qiao cares about. His love for her is shown not just in words but in his actions—he does everything he can to keep her and her loved ones safe, including his sister. That kind of devotion makes his character even more admirable.
As always, Zhuge Yue looks so handsome in every scene, and Chu Qiao continues to shine with her strength and beauty. Their chemistry is truly special, and I hope they will have more moments together moving forward.
Overall, I really enjoyed these episodes. They were emotional, romantic, and full of powerful scenes. I’m very excited for the next episodes!

Yan Xun helped He Lian Ling to restore her reputation and honor as a king's consort after the accident. She agreed. However, she met Cheng Yuan the next day and expected the general to be a lovesick puppy to his king's consort. When Cheng Yuan cut their possible romance, she disappointed. She was greedy for wanting two men to be hers.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan got the hidden message from Yan Xun when his king stayed the whole night in He Lian Ling's chamber. He respected Yan Xun and He Lian Ling's decision and stayed away from that girl.

Yes. I'm so relieved when she said that, and I wish no more misunderstanding between them. They have many enemies who are jealous or hate them.

Yes, that's why I said his grandfather's persuasion was sickening. Zhuge Yue couldn't choose the family he was born into, but he had a right to stay or left them and build his own family.

The Zhuge family is actually very toxic. You get that during PA where he has been target for assassination from other branches of his family because he was the most capable and yet an outlier. Part of the reason that the FL had not stayed with ML and chose Yan Xun was because she could never accept their abusive slave practices - while Zhuge Yue was the kinder of them all - his family's power and status came from their ruthless ways of training spies and acquiring slaves. As long as he stayed loyal to Zhuge family, FL would never accept him. So the opening of Rebirth where Zhuge Yue falls into the ice lake - signifies the death of Zhuge Yue and his loyalty to his family.

Don't look at those stupid ratings. This drama worth 8.7. This drama is good

It's because of adult haters who have the emotional growth of a 3 year old child and throw tantrums without being able to use critical thinking. 🙄

They're just mad the original cast isn't back and because the actress embodying Chu Qiao was 17 when filming this. They very conveniently ignore the fact that despite the romance between Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao, the production has been incredibly respectful towards the young lady, limiting the skinship between FL and ML to hugs, carrying each other and occasional hand holding or at most gently caressing the face. I don't expect to see an actual kiss at all and I'm perfectly fine with that, it's the right thing to do. 👍

See how these same people will give 1* ratings to "Key to the Phoenix Heart" next.😒 It's inevitable. I'm just sad for the cast. They shouldn't have to deal with all the crucifying these people are doing. I hope this doesn't affect anyone's career, it's such a shame.

Lots of crack smoked. I’ve never seen a score so low.

honestly i don't understand why the rating is so low especially in douban, like WTF..

I honestly think most of the bad reviews are because they didn't bring back the original cast. People are petty as hell. I get that there is disappointment in a recast (I was bummed myself) but what were they supposed to do when the originals were unavailable or refused to take part? But this cast is doing an amazing job. People need to stop nitpicking every freaking thing just because things didn't necessarily go their way

I’ve finished watching Episodes 26–27, and I absolutely loved these episodes! They were so satisfying and emotional to watch. One of my favorite moments was when Chu Qiao was saved by Zhuge Yue—that scene was truly powerful and showed how much they mean to each other.
It was also amazing to see Chu Qiao become the Queen of Ximeng. She looked so beautiful and elegant, especially with the Ximeng hairstyle—it really suited her and highlighted her strong yet graceful presence. I love how she showed so much care and concern for King Ximeng, Zhuge Yue. Their relationship feels deeper and more meaningful in these episodes.
As a couple, they look so perfect together. Every scene they share is a joy to watch—their chemistry, teamwork, and the way they support and protect each other make their bond even more special. Whether in emotional moments or action scenes, they always shine together.
Zhuge Yue is as handsome and charismatic as ever, and Chu Qiao continues to impress with her strength and beauty. Both the male lead and female lead are truly amazing, especially when they’re side by side, facing challenges and helping each other.
I really hope their story continues to grow and that they fully become a couple with more beautiful moments together. I’m definitely looking forward to the next episodes!

I did the same I never pay attention to people’s negative comments I watch a show and determine for myself whether I’m going to like it or not. So far I’m on episode 25 so obviously something worked.

I continued watching this beautiful Rebirth Chinese drama, and I’m really thankful that I didn’t let the negative comments influence me—I chose to judge it for myself, and I’m so glad I did. I ended up truly enjoying it.
Zhuge Yue, as the male lead, is incredibly handsome in every scene. He perfectly embodies the character, bringing both strength and mystery to the role. His acting is amazing, and his martial arts and swordsmanship are truly impressive—every fight scene feels powerful and captivating.
I also love that I gave a chance to Chu Qiao. She is not only pretty but also very talented. Despite being a younger actress, she delivers her role so well. Her acting shows great potential, and her martial arts skills are outstanding. She brings both strength and emotion to her character, making her performance enjoyable to watch.
Together, they are an amazing pair. Their chemistry, teamwork, and presence on screen make every scene more engaging. They truly complement each other as the main leads.
Overall, I’m really happy I continued watching this drama. It keeps getting better, and I’m excited for the upcoming episodes!
