On the surface, this seems like another story about Su Nian, a stubborn top student from a poor family, crossing paths with Gu Chengze, a haughty heir from a powerful, wealthy family.
But Su Nian isn’t a weak little rabbit who can be pushed around. She’s a top Go player hiding her true abilities, nicknamed “the surgeon of the Go board.” After her family suffered a major upheaval, she chose to put away the board and keep a low profile at school. Gu Chengze, the only son of the Gu Group, hides the loneliness of a life dictated by others beneath his perfect facade.
An “unequal” deal intertwines their parallel paths. Their relationship begins as a contract based on a “financial transaction,” then develops into a meeting of kindred spirits who are evenly matched. They test each other, and heal each other. Think this is just a simple battle of romance? Not so fast. As their relationship deepens, Su Nian discovers that the one behind her family’s bankruptcy points straight to Gu Chengze’s family... The genius girl’s path to revenge begins with a pursuit that’s all pretense.
