She is his childhood sweetheart, the legitimate daughter of the imperial concubine, and a remnant of the previous dynasty that he was ordered to track down.
Shen Qingci grew up in lies, and had a deep love for the crown prince Gu Heng until a secret decree tore the mask apart. She was shocked to realize that the mastermind of the family's blood feud was actually her lover's father; and the benevolent father who saved her and raised her had watched her tenderly for many years, just to temper her into a revengeful blade.
Gu Heng holds the imperial mandate to exterminate the "rebellious party", and the sword pointed at his beloved is the one he is willing to protect with his life. When she decisively turned away from him and set off a storm that overturned the dynasty in the darkness, he realized that the sharpest knife in the world was the sincerity he held in his own hands.
"You can use me in exchange for your immortal achievements," she said with a smile as bright as a flower, the tip of the sword pressed against his heart, "Just answer me: Gu Heng, which one is more important, your country or your conscience?"
——This is a game that uses love as bait. At the end of the game, no one can escape intact.
