Lin Weiwei, a talented painter, is attracted by Lu Tingchen, a business tycoon who combines extreme charm and indifference, but does not know that she is a pawn in his elaborate chess game. Lu Tingchen's real purpose of approaching her is to explore the "soul-killing" key left by his grandmother Ye Lan, which is related to family secrets and transnational conspiracies.
From an ancient house in southern Europe to an old bungalow in Shanghai, the two were pulled between dangers and temptations. When Lu Tingchen discovered that he was sincerely interested in his "prey", the unsolved case of arson and the pursuit of the "Shadow Chamber of Commerce" followed one after another. Under the test of life and death, he must face his inner trauma, and Lin Weiwei's choice will determine whether this relationship that started as a conspiracy will eventually sink into the abyss or redeem each other.
The writing is pretty good and quite immersive.
