In this maelstrom of love and hate, where every step is fraught with danger, I, a woman who once lived under a cloud of misery, resolutely ended the life of my legitimate older sister, who had tormented me in every way for years. In that moment, it was as if I had snatched a sliver of light from the darkness. At last, through my careful scheming, I won the man I had dreamed of, Gu Ze. Every step I took toward him felt like walking on thin ice. I planned everything meticulously, all for the sake of a love that had been so hard to come by. Just when I thought the dawn of true love would finally pierce the gloom and illuminate our future, fate played its cruelest trick on me: he, the light of my heart, brought home a mute woman whose face bore a startling resemblance to my wicked older sister. Like a ghost, she awakened the past I had tried so desperately to bury, and my heart plunged into ice. With my heart reduced to ashes, I had yet to recover from this brutal reality when I was swept into a fatal misunderstanding: after the mute woman accidentally lost her child, I became the target of everyone’s accusations and was branded a killer. What cut deepest was that the man I had loved with everything I had, believing we could weather every storm together, became the executioner who personally cast me into an endless abyss. His sword pierced my last hopes and illusions without hesitation. Amid the fog of love and hate, who can truly grasp where fate will lead?
