In a world torn apart by chaos, a woman's fate is like a leaf drifting on the water. Zhao Qixi, the daughter of a merchant, is determined to uncover the truth behind her parents' murder, but fate keeps pushing her in unpredictable directions. A plaything for the powerful, a pawn in their infighting, a tool of seduction...
She nearly gives her life to escape it all, only to find a man who seems even more miserable, looking at her pitifully as he says, “Please, have a little pity on me...”
