She is Ling Wei, an orphan girl who is taciturn on campus and always has the highest grades in grade. She is struggling on the edge of life relying on her father's meager compensation. No one knows that under the mask, she is the feared gang leader "Dark Owl" in the night - ruthless and unparalleled in resourcefulness. She single-handedly protects a group of homeless orphans and earns a glimmer of survival in the gray mission of licking blood at the tip of a knife.
He is the orphan "Chen Mo" who is cold and distant in the school and ranks second in grade. No one knows that under this fragile disguise, he is Gu Jingchen, the forgotten second son of the top wealthy Gu family. Born at the pinnacle of power, but shunned with cold eyes, inheritance is out of reach, and he can only breathe by pretending to be dust.
A high-stakes bounty mission roughly tightened two parallel lines of fate - Ling Wei transformed into a "dark owl" and rescued Gu Jingchen's kidnapped sister from the den of the dragon pool. With a startling glance, the pair of familiar yet unfamiliar eyes under the mask overlapped with that of the quiet girl in the school, causing a turmoil in Gu Jingchen's heart.
When a good school girl wearing a mask bumps into an outcast from a rich family wearing a lone wolf's skin; when passing each other on the playground turns into a life-or-death struggle in a dark alley; when a score contest on a test paper turns into a thrilling game of family power.
A heartbeat that started with lies and pretense, quietly grew in temptation and suspicion. He saw through her disguised vulnerability, and she understood his hidden edge. They are each other's deepest secret and the brightest star in the darkness.
