A man and a woman fall in love under the designs of fate, and their first few explosive encounters are, in fact, carefully laid traps. But after they become deeply entangled in body and soul, they choose to risk everything for love, fleeing together and even embracing death for each other.
Though they are pawns, they are not without feelings. They are unlike emperors, princes, and high-ranking ministers who have spent their lives navigating political schemes, as if political coldness ran in their veins from birth. They are swept into the political maelstrom because the people they love have died, and because they must find a way to survive when all hope seems lost.
When legitimate paths are closed to them, they have no choice but to use the rules of the world as it is to pursue their heartfelt conviction in justice.
