[A high-stakes “love and lies” game between master players]
She is a top modern criminal profiler who views imperial power and love with rational scrutiny, even disdain. Though her mind refuses to fall for anyone, her body and emotions gradually slip out of control amid an intense push and pull.
Born into a bloody succession struggle, he has followed strict rules since childhood to “other” his emotions and desires, all to consolidate imperial power. He craves absolute control, but then he meets the one woman he cannot understand or completely control.
When criminal profiler Shen Qingci transmigrates into the body of an abandoned consort in the Cold Palace, she uses microexpressions to expose every conspiracy. Tyrant Xiao Zhi treats her as a tool for seeing through people, only to become the most complex case in her notebook. She watches him perform with cool detachment, until he traps her in his arms and murmurs hoarsely, “My beloved consort, since you’ve seen through me, do you know what I want to do next?”
Both use the most sophisticated acting to test the other’s one and only “true feeling.”
Come watch a masterful psychological game of love and lies: “I know you’re acting, you know that I know, but we have no choice but to keep acting.”
