Lin Jianwei, an orphan girl who was left behind in an orphanage, caught the eye of Shen Zhi, the leader of the art empire, with a copy of "Water Lilies". After a ten-year contract came to an end, he used harshness as a plow and control as water, imprisoning her in a golden cage, carving, polishing, and disciplining her, just to let her live into the untouchable white moonlight in his heart - Su Wan.
He is the chess player and the irrigation person, giving her knowledge, vision, and character, but also giving her shackles, a substitute, and endless forbearance. She was submissive in the perfect performance, and secretly developed a sharp edge in the silent years. She tempered everything he gave her into sharp thorns that pierced fate, and rooted the obsession of looking up into her own deep roots.
He thought he had tamed a submissive flower, but he didn't know that she had already grown into the harshest thorn in his garden.
Ten years of drinking ice can't cool your hot blood; ten years of carving will finally make you sharp.
She broke free from the body of the substitute, overturned the order he had built, and used the skills he taught her to pierce through his empire and his defenses.
This sadomasochism begins with a substitute, becomes trapped in carving, and ends with confrontation.
It was his ten years of irrigation that cultivated a thorn that would bite him back;
It was her growth that she tolerated for half her life, and finally grew up to be the sharpest person who didn't depend on anyone.
Love is full of scars, and there is madness hidden in the pain.
He gave her half a lifetime of imprisonment, and she gave him a lifetime of imprisonment.
