[Angsty suspense romance] Masked executioner × dreamer with a true heart
[Both leads are pure-hearted + pure romance + both stubborn + major twists + tragic love + faux second-chance romance]
For over a thousand days and nights, Ruan Lingyue was haunted by smoke and nightmares. Countless times, she watched her beloved die in a sea of flames. Countless times, she ran from place to place, searching for the truth.
She thought she had finally avenged herself, never imagining that the past had no intention of making peace with her.
One rainy night, a man who looked exactly like Qin Zhimin suddenly barged into her world.
The same eyes, the same voice, the same tenderness that could so easily find her weak spot.
She tested him, stayed wary, struggled. Torn between a familiar face and a strange soul, she eventually fell for him all the same.
She thought she had escaped the ashes and found long-awaited salvation. She even sincerely fell in love with the person behind that face.
Until the truth tore away every disguise and hurled her into the abyss.
The man she loved had never risen from the dead, nor had he returned from afar.
He was the mastermind behind the fire, the executioner who had personally sent her beloved to hell, and the demon who had lurked at her side, scheming to steal her brother's life and claim all her love for himself.
This deception in the name of love had been an inescapable hunt from the very beginning...
