As Gu Jinglan, master of the Biluo Palace, unifies the martial world, he captures the sly fox who keeps ruining his plans. He clips his wings and keeps him at his side, demanding intimacy with tenderness but never giving him his heart. Jiang Yan offers up his schemes, his body, and even his devoted love, only to receive a light laugh in return: “You’re just a plaything. Why catch feelings?” This imprisonment, born of conquest, becomes a game of chess that traps them both. He gives him the most intense intimacy, along with the sharpest distance.
