Resumen del episodio 1 de Rebirth
> Resúmenes de Rebirth
Zhuge Yue, the fourth son of the prominent Zhuge clan and chief of Qingshan Court, leads a desperate struggle against his former friend, Yan Xun. While Zhuge Yue’s family has long served the Yong Emperor to eliminate political rivals, Yan Xun, the heir to the Yan family of Yanbei, has become a bitter enemy following the destruction of his kin. Amidst a relentless snowstorm, Yan Xun’s forces decimate Zhuge Yue’s troops, leaving a mountain of corpses.
Despite being surrounded and standing alone atop the fallen, Zhuge Yue refuses to surrender. As Yan Xun prepares to deliver a final blow, Zhuge Yue’s subordinate, Yue Qi, rushes forward to act as a human shield. The tension is interrupted by the arrival of Chu Qiao, who pleads with Yan Xun to spare Zhuge Yue’s life. She stands defiantly between the two men, but Yan Xun is consumed by his goal.
He lures Zhuge Yue onto the frozen Qianzhang Lake and continues his assault until the ice shatters. As Zhuge Yue sinks into the freezing depths, a distraught Chu Qiao dives into the water to save him, intending to die by his side if necessary. Seeing this, Yan Xun immediately orders his men to pull her from the lake. Three months pass before Chu Qiao wakes in the Yanbei camp, her mind clouded by amnesia and haunted by nightmares of drowning.
Yan Xun visits her, referring to her as his "Queen" and the "hero of Yanbei." He deceptively claims they were betrothed and were about to be married before an ambush by Yong forces at Ximin Mountain forced her into the lake. He shows her a wedding dress he had prepared, asserting that they have faced life and death together.
Although Chu Qiao is confused and instinctively pulls her hand away from his touch, Yan Xun promises to wait for her to regain her memories. The narrative shifts back four years to the tragic Jiuyou Terrace in Zhenhuang City. Zhuge Huai, acting on the Yong Emperor's orders, declares the Yan family traitors. Yan Xun is forced to endure the ultimate humiliation: identifying the severed heads of his father, Yan Shicheng, and his brother, Yan Ting.
Though Zhuge Yue had successfully implored the Emperor to spare Yan Xun’s life, the young heir is pushed to the brink of madness. He refuses to cooperate with the identification and vows to kill Zhuge Huai, even as he is restrained and beaten by the guards. To save her son from further suffering, Yan Xun’s mother, Madame Yan, steps forward to identify the bodies herself.
She identifies her husband and children one by one, recounting their past loyalty and service to Yong. Knowing the Emperor intended to keep her as a hostage to control her son, Madame Yan urges Yan Xun to live on, even if the path is filled with agony. She takes her own life before his eyes to ensure he is no longer shackled by her safety. This trauma fueled Yan Xun’s transformation and his eventual rebellion against the empire.
In the present, Yan Xun’s generals present Chu Qiao with a body they claim belongs to Zhuge Yue, along with his Poyue Sword. They lie to her, claiming that Zhuge Yue was her greatest enemy who murdered her siblings—Linxi, Qi, and Ba—while she was a slave in Qingshan Court. They further claim he repeatedly oppressed her and tried to prevent her return to Yanbei.
Believing their account and feeling a strange, inexplicable sadness when seeing the sword, Chu Qiao orders the body to be burned to appease the spirits of the fallen. Yan Xun declares her the one and only Queen of Yanbei and orders the remains to be sent back to the Zhuge family. Unknown to them, Zhuge Yue has survived. He was swept by the undercurrents of the lake toward the Ximeng territory.
The King of Ximeng is informed that the man found near Ximin Mountain is indeed the prominent Yong general. Despite Zhuge Yue’s grave injuries and severe cold affliction, the King refuses to let him die, believing such a figure is more useful alive than dead. He orders his subjects to use the Bone-Piercing Herb to sustain him, keeping him as a high-value prisoner in the dark cells of Ximeng.
