Lin Zhiyue's parents were killed by her second uncle's family, who seized their estate and drove her out of her home.
She left without a word, hoping to find a chance to avenge them. But even the meek have their limits, and simply walking away without doing anything would have been utterly humiliating. So, before leaving, she sneaked into the Lin residence and set fire to the back courtyard...
She left her hometown alone to find someone powerful enough to back her, so she could return openly and take revenge. She set her sights on Fourth Master Yan of Biancheng.
She worked hard to improve herself and prove her worth, all for the chance to stand at Fourth Master Yan's side.

This was a gamble with herself as the bait, a wager on a man's heart...
