When Shen Li was four years old, when she gave Xue Luo a candied haws of sugarcane, she never expected that the name would be engraved in her fate for half her life. The sweet daughter of the Shen family, a merchant, and the cold boy of the Xue family, the tenant, have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Even Xue Luo's cold eyes only smiled at her: "Ah Li, wait for me."
In late autumn when she was fifteen years old, the Shen family was suddenly framed as a "collaborator" and the male was exiled. Xue Luo was "assassinated to death" during the escort to protect her, and no bones were left. Shen Li became an orphan, wandering in the south of the Yangtze River holding his blood-stained clothes.
She thought that revenge was the only thing left in her life, but when she found the surviving relatives of the Shen family, she was stopped by a strange couple - they were her biological parents, and their status as orphans of the Gu family shattered her world like thunder. What made her even more horrified was that the evidence brought by her parents showed that Xue Luo's "death" was full of flaws.
When they reunited in Beijing, he used the pseudonym "Mr. Yun" and his eyes were evasive. She clutched the jade pendant he gave him "before his death", her fingertips were cold: "Xue Luo, even the Gu family can see the drama you are playing."
His throat tightened, and he finally lowered his head: "Ah Li, I didn't lie to you or harm you, it's just that this situation is too big and I don't dare to put you in danger."
From Shen Li to Gu Li, from Xue Luo to Xie Yun, his death is the game, her life experience is the chess game, and the Gu family's entry into the game finally breaks away all pretenses. It turns out that behind the love and hate is his desperate attempt to protect her with his life.
