[Traditional family intrigue + revenge + forced love + one-on-one romance + 10-year age gap]
In her past life, Duan Nianwan's father and brother, along with her beloved childhood sweetheart Gu Zhilu, were killed by Gu Bochen.
Duan Nianwan died by suicide on the night of her wedding, a marriage Gu Bochen had forced upon her through his ruthless pursuit.
Reborn, Duan Nianwan decided to use herself as bait and go undercover at Gu Bochen's side.
For the sake of her dead family and lover, Duan Nianwan planned carefully at every turn, until she became the person Gu Bochen trusted most, the one who shared his bed.
On the night she tried to assassinate Gu Bochen, her attempt failed, and he clamped a hand around her throat.
“My good Wan'er, do you want to kill me that badly?”
After the failed assassination, Duan Nianwan was utterly disheartened and wanted only to end her life, but Gu Bochen had people guard her around the clock.
“Darling, you haven't avenged yourself yet. How can you give up now?”
Every night, he came to remind her: “I want you to stay by my side and see for yourself who the truly unforgivable, despicable villain is!”
