In order to save her brother, Shen Zhiyuan, the daughter of a former criminal official, set up a trap to get close to Xiao Linyuan, the powerful governor of the Zhenfu Division. She worked step by step, disguising herself as a useful chess piece, just for a chance of survival.
For her, this was a huge gamble using her body as bait. If she won the bet, her brother would live, but if she lost the bet, she would be doomed.
To him, a cold-blooded powerful official who returned from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, this was just a cat-and-mouse pastime. He knew clearly that her approach was premeditated, and the love in her eyes was carefully disguised, but he still wanted to sink in false love.
Later, he personally put a phoenix crown on her and whispered in her ear: "Zhiyuan, whether you lie to me or hate me, you can only be mine in this life."
