A Heartburning Ordeal Beneath the Lamp on a Snowy Night

“I rather enjoy the way you hate me.”, Qin Yu

A carefully orchestrated imprisonment. A memory that has been tampered with.

This is a game of chess that begins with conspiracy and betrayal,

and a heart-burning trial of possession and redemption.

When a cool, aloof general crosses paths with a mad, obsessive regent,

will they defy fate, or plunge into the abyss together?

With a bloodline-bound Gu poison between them, hatred and desire intertwine. Who is whose true downfall?

This is also a story where the face-loving one ultimately wins.
