Xi Qin is the only daughter of the wealthiest family in the country, carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders.
Someone has watched over her in silence for years, but all she wants is to focus on her career.
Unexpectedly, though she has no interest in romance, she catches the attention of another man.
That man has two faces.
In public, he’s a saint who saves the world. In private, he’s a demon who devours people.
But Xi Qin isn’t someone who can be pushed around. She endures his abuse and brings him crashing down in one fell swoop.
Once she escapes his clutches, she suddenly realizes that the person who has always protected her never left her side.
At last, she sees the light, and spends the rest of her life in perfect harmony with him.
Reader’s guide: A little angsty, but it has a happy ending. Slow-paced.
Overall, it's pretty good. The characters are very distinct, and the female lead is a good person—not pessimistic, positive, and knows what she wants, never giving up. Actually, that official is quite pitiful; he has some talent, but because someone noticed him and switched his exam papers, his fate changed.
The characters are well-developed, the plot is fast-paced, and it's a great watch!
