When Shen Qiantan from the modern world opens her eyes, she has become the “jinx” daughter-in-law of the Song family, a remote village family in the Great Jing Dynasty. She has supposedly “cursed” the whole family to death, and the villagers are raising torches to burn her as an offering to heaven.
Just as she despairs, a man of peerless beauty and sickly pallor suddenly appears at the village entrance, claiming to be Song Shi'an, her husband who “died in battle.”
The whole village is convinced by the travel pass he produces and the birthmark on his body. Only Shen Qiantan stares at his flawless face, so unlike the one she remembers, and feels a chill run down her spine.
Could such an utterly unbelievable face-changing technique really exist in ancient times?
With no other choice, Shen Qiantan pretends to accept this “husband.” They live under the same roof, testing each other and each harboring their own schemes.
She tries to uncover the mystery of his identity, yet he seems to know all about her own origins as someone who has “returned from the dead in another’s body.”
What kind of conspiracy lies behind this “Song Shi'an,” who has arrived carrying secrets and danger?
Was the fire that destroyed the Song family really an accident?
Is his appearance her salvation, or the beginning of an even greater destruction?
Two people hiding behind disguises inch closer to a shocking truth through suspicion and constant probing...
