Synopsis

[Republican era + forced love + tragic romance + intense push and pull + rekindled love + mutual scheming + taboo + happy ending]

[Fake heiress who plays dumb to fool her enemies x devoted, calculating warlord who is good at keeping up appearances]

Shu Ningyan, the commander's daughter, heads to Wancheng to fulfill her betrothal to the merchant Huo Baiyang. First, she encounters something sinister at a haunted house in the rain. Then she is hunted because of Huo Baiyang's romantic entanglements. Huo Baiyang seems to bring her nothing but bad luck: no matter how well her life went before, she always ends up in a miserable state after meeting him. Each of them has their own agenda and schemes, and their probing is always motivated by self-interest. Yet they are undeniably the perfect match.

As they spend more time together, Huo Baiyang seems to have countless ties to Duan Yiheng, the late warlord of Wancheng. And Shu Ningyan certainly didn't come to Wancheng just to fulfill her betrothal.

Both are consummate actors, burdened with secrets they can never reveal. Behind a thousand masks and layers of disguise, they pretend to be so deeply in love that no one could doubt their sincerity. But in the end, how much of it is really an act?
