[Republican-era warlord | Two male leads | Revenge and tragic romance | Forced love]
A deranged, hypocritical warlord gong x a frail opera performer shou seeking revenge
He is a delicate beauty in Pingzhou, frail with illness, and a revenger hiding a blade beneath his sleeve.
He is the warlord who holds power over the land, and a hypocritical spectator wearing the face from his nightmares.
On the stage of Guanghe House, Xie Chenbi dances with flowing sleeves and sings of glory, all to draw out that one blood-red target.
He carefully weaves a web to lure his enemy in, never realizing he has long been a caged bird in the other man’s grasp.
Deep inside the Shen residence, Shen Yan’s gaze darkens as he traps him in a space barely large enough to move. He murmurs tenderly, “Would you sing your opera for me alone?”
He wears his opera robes and plots his moves with every step, hatred hidden beneath his smile.
He sits casually atop the seat of power, yet falls step by step into a tender trap.
Enemies? Kindred spirits? Or... a more dangerous bond?
