"Rouge is blood, red is calamity. In troubled times, she used her charm as a knife and tenderness to weave a web - when love and hate stained the country, she realized that rouge is the most poisonous and her heart is the hottest.". Era background: Republic of China/imaginary ancient times? In a period of regime change and collision between the old and the new, it is easy to develop a million-word epic pattern. Core conflict: The heroine is hiding behind a blood feud, but falls in love with the enemy's son/leader of the hostile camp. "Rouge" is her disguise, and "red" is her true heart.
