Two powerful leads torment and fight each other · The ultimate rejection of feudalism · Sound values · Grounded in reality
A stern lawyer × a gentle restorer. Like repels like, yet fate draws them together. Shen Zhiyan wields the law like a blade, dismantling the cannibalistic old order of clan rule and patriarchy. Lu Zhiheng is gentle as warm jade, with a fierce edge hidden beneath, locked in a struggle to the death against outdated customs.
Both have been chewed up by old traditions. Their meeting is a confrontation; drawing closer means hurting one another. There is no stronger or weaker one, no fixed roles in bed. He attacks his defenses, and he attacks his walls around his heart. He hurts him with his fear of loving, and he hurts him with his inability to let go.
The obsessions the law cannot sever, the sharp edges kindness cannot smooth away: little by little, they meld in each other's eyes.
They will not pander, compromise, bow their heads, or settle.
They will break the order of the clans, the order of society, and the order that ranks lovers by strength. When the old order lies in ruins and the land is at peace, only the two of them will remain side by side, at peace even without order.
