The first time Lin Mange stepped into the Lu family's door was as a "fiancée".
Twelve road family members live in this private mansion worth 300 million, and everyone has a decent smile on their face. But in her eyes, the things hidden under those smiles were far more exciting than they appeared on the surface - the eldest wife's downward-facing micro-expression was contempt, the second aunt's frequent touching of her earlobes was anxiety, and the eldest son of the Lu family avoided eye contact because of a guilty conscience.
Today she was wearing a champagne-colored dress, light makeup, and her smile was gentle and well-behaved, like a carefully pruned rose.
No one knows that the thorns of this rose are prepared for murder.
Three years ago, her best friend Su Wan fell from the Lu family villa and died. The police closed the case as an "accident." She spent three years preparing, obtained a doctorate in clinical psychology, forged a perfect resume, and entered the mansion as the "fiancée of the eldest son of the Lu family."
She wants to find the murderer among the twelve people.
But what she didn't expect was that there was someone who saw through her - Lu Haoran, the second young master of the Lu family.
The first time he looked at her at the dinner party, those fox-like eyes were full of scrutiny. As they passed each other, he whispered something, which made her palms really sweat for the first time.
"Your sadness is well hidden, but your eyes betray you."
This is a chess game. She thought she was the only chess player, but now she found someone sitting across from her.
Is he waiting for her to make a move, or is he preparing to overturn the entire chessboard?
