She is a rose returned from hell, using love as bait and hearts as pieces on a chessboard.
Su Mo possesses a beauty that captivates all who see her, but beneath it lies a heart made cold and hard by suffering. In her world, there is no love, only calculation; no sincerity, only bargaining chips. Every man who draws near is a stepping-stone on her climb to the pinnacle of power.
Gu Yunshen, master of a business empire, is the first target she hunts with precision. She plays the lost lamb, luring him into becoming both her shelter and her ladder to the clouds.
Lu Ziqian, a gifted artist, regards her as his muse. She turns his devotion into a paintbrush, using it to create the perfect disguise.
Shen Yichen, a rising star in tech, believes code can unravel anything. Yet he cannot unravel the web of love she has carefully woven, and ultimately becomes her pawn.
Qin Yu, a ruthless and cold-blooded rival, tries to conquer this thorny rose, unaware that he is already caught in her game, walking step by step into the inescapable trap she has laid.
She moves effortlessly among four exceptional men, manipulating them as if they were putty in her hands. They become obsessed with her, give her everything, and even turn their weapons on one another, never realizing they are merely pawns in her grand design.
This is a carefully orchestrated deception, a brutal plunder carried out in the name of love.
The heroine is clear-headed and career-driven, advancing one step at a time. Every hero is “chaste,” yet each becomes a slave to her charms, suffering both physical and emotional torment.
See how this beautiful, powerful, tragic black-lotus heroine tramples on true love to crown herself with a crown of thorns forged from blood and lies.
