A life of blood feud, a life of substitutes, a life of choices. Can one be reborn from the ashes?
In the troubled times of the Republic of China, Pingzhou City's young marshal Cheng Yu was in power, with a cold-blooded and iron fist. Ling Qingqiu's family was ruined, and he was burdened with a blood feud. He transformed into a lute girl and lurked around him, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.
She played the song of killing, and he could hear the overwhelming hatred. After a violent robbery, she became the most special "canary" around him and the sharpest knife in his heart.
He saw through the hatred in her eyes, but he was even more fascinated by the flames under the ice. He gave her rich clothes and food, but also gave her endless humiliation; he put her in danger, but he protected her with his life at the critical moment of life and death. "Stay with me," he kissed away the blood from her lips, his tone was both a command and a begging, "Hate me or love me, until death."
When the memory wakes up, the past is suddenly revealed. She discovered that behind the fire that destroyed everything about her was a more shocking conspiracy and betrayal. And the man she hated so much didn't seem to be the real murderer, but he was burdened with deeper sins and shackles.
Should we continue the deep-seated hatred, or embrace the burning love? When the muzzle of the gun is pressed against each other's heart, the entangled love, hate, anger and infatuation of three generations will finally be tempered into the last kiss in ashes in this life.
Warlords plunder and plunder × an orphan who endures revenge, extreme push and pull, lingering love and hate. This is not a story of redemption, this is a bloody romance of two broken souls devouring each other in the fire until they die together, or... Nirvana and rebirth.
