### Story summary
Shen Zhaoning was originally the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. When she was fifteen years old, she rescued the seventh prince Xiao Chengyuan who was being hunted on a snowy night in the border town. The young man is trapped in a desperate situation, and the young girl is so soft-hearted that they fall in love when they least should. However, sudden changes occurred in the harem soon, and the Shen family was accused of collaborating with the enemy, and the whole family was destroyed. Shen Zhaoning lives in the Gu family of his mother's family, hiding his name and living like a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
Seven years later, in order to protect their daughter, the Gu family sent her to a sedan chair to marry Xiao Chengyuan, the ruthless and cold-blooded regent who controlled half of the court. She thought this was an insult to her by her enemies, but she didn't know that this marriage was set up by Xiao Chengyuan himself after he had been looking for her for seven years. He wanted to use her to lead out the man behind the death of the Shen family, and he also wanted to trap her by his side, even if she hated him to the core.
She entered the house for revenge, and he became a demon to keep her. While the two were testing each other, they were gradually approaching the truth of the year in the light of swords in the palace and court. Until she finally knew that he was not innocent on the night the Shen family was destroyed; and he finally understood that his protection in the name of love had already driven her to a dead end.
She lost her child, lost trust, and finally ran away; he searched the world like crazy and burned down the palace with his own hands to bury her with her. When she returned with a new identity, this love-hate relationship finally reached the most painful step: whether to believe her again, or to let him be trapped in lovesickness for the rest of his life.
