A flirtatious charmer x a cunning schemer; two foxes locked in a battle of wits; the clash and surrender of a woman who talks big and a man who gets things done
At her uncle’s behest, Jiang Ruojin deliberately approaches the Gu household to investigate the mystery surrounding the birth of its third son, Gu. During her investigation, she discovers that she has unwittingly stepped into a game of chess.
She readily accepts an offer of mutual exploitation from Gu Guochen, the eldest son of the general’s household. To reach her goal, she’ll use every means at her disposal and put everything to use. At last, she’s met her match. Who will outwit the other and come out on top? She never expected the game to grow so large that there would be no one left who could stay on the sidelines.
Is she a chess piece or a wife? Can even the player at the board lose sight of the difference for a moment...?
Careful with this game of playing with fire, or you’ll get burned, cousin~
