A fatal attraction that transcends national boundaries and classes, a taboo game that begins with calculation but ends in sincerity.
In order to save the family from crisis, Chinese calligraphy and painting restorer Lin Wan stepped into the most mysterious Sternberg Manor in London and became the personal consultant of the German-English mixed-race collector Heinrich. This man has glacier-like blue eyes and an ancient aristocratic surname. He enjoys controlling everything and is obsessed with collecting beauty.
In the manor, the famous lost paintings of the Ming Dynasty reappeared eerily, and a woman's singing came from the restricted area in the west wing every night, and Heinrich looked at her more and more like he was gazing at an orphan that cannot be tarnished.
"You are the one I've been looking for for half my life." He stroked her chin with his fingertips, his voice as gentle as poison, "Don't even think about escaping, Lin Wan. Your name has already been written into my collection."
During the day, he was a polite employer, teaching her to appreciate art and power; at night, he was a hunter who took off his mask, whispering in German in her ear: "Mein Schatz (my treasure), even your fear is heartbreakingly beautiful."
When Lin Wan finally came into contact with the deepest secret of the manor - the secret room filled with portraits of the same woman, she realized that what she had stepped into was not a job, but a cage that had been carefully woven for ten years. And she is actually 70% similar to the Chinese pianist in the painting who should have died in the fire long ago.
"Force and robbery + suspicion of substitutes + transnational love"
"What he wanted was never love, but to nail her to a specimen stand of eternal beauty."
