Cen Wanli was the murder tool controlled by the Gu family for 18 years. Silver Thread never left anyone alive, but he was killed by the mysterious gambler Shan Chengying in the underground casino of Mojin City.
The man used the casino's annual revenue as a bargaining chip to force her to be his exclusive subordinate. The copper gear pendant around her neck fit perfectly with the metal piece that Cen Wanli had hidden close to her body for more than ten years. "Your parents were not incestuous, they were killed by Gu Mingyuan!" One sentence shattered her 18 years of false memories.
Gu Mingyuan had instilled in her the lie that "you are a shame" since she was a child, but the evidence Shan Chengying brought back confirmed that her parents were the developers of "Qiming" technology. This technology that could shake the world made them betrayed and silenced by the people they trusted most.
More terrifying conspiracies followed: Lin Xing, the "sister" she desperately protected, was originally a bargaining chip planted by the Gu family, but he blocked the poison bomb for her and handed over the astrological code that had been hidden for many years; Gu Yanci's serum was mixed with poison, and the mysterious force with the boat-shaped emblem was always keeping an eye on her metal piece.
Shan Chengying said that he had sworn to protect her since he was 4 years old, but the gentler he became, the more Cen Wanli became suspicious: Was he approaching her to protect her, or to "enlighten" the secret?
When the copper gears turned and the code was cracked, she was shocked to realize: her tampered childhood, Lin Xing's illness, and the death of her parents were all Gu's conspiracy; "Qiming" was not an energy core at all, but a Pandora's box that destroyed everything!
The Gu family wants to seize the technology to silence them, and mysterious forces are waiting for opportunities to take advantage of them. Cen Wanli no longer allowed himself to be manipulated, and took Lin Xing and the key to seek revenge alongside Shan Chengying. But when the final truth emerged, she discovered: The person who controlled everything had been by her side all along?
