[Jiang Heng x Li Peien, reward] In the winter of 1928, warlord Jiang Heng enters the Li residence in search of a mysterious list and meets the scholar Li Peien.
One is a ruthless young military governor, the other a gentle, refined scholar. They should have been plotting against each other, but a forbidden affection grows between them with every clash of wits.
A list of thirty-seven dead draws them both into a whirlpool. Assassinations, silencing, and threats follow one after another. When a gun is aimed at their chest and blood stains the snow an eye-catching red, they finally realize:
This game of chess, played with human lives, was set up from the very beginning just to draw them in.
This subject is not easy to write about, but it's still quite interesting.
