[Two Male Leads] [Hei Xiazi x Qi Xiao x Zhang Qiling] [Self-Interest] [Scheming] [Revenge] [Unfriendly to the Wu Family] [A Long Road to Winning Back His Love]
Qi Xiao, an owl who has concealed his real name.
Raised by Wu Sansheng from childhood and taught alongside the Wu brothers, he's best at acting and reading people.
When he was caught in a deadly crisis, he took Hei Xiazi as his master to gain a chance at survival, and later met Zhang Qiling.
He seems gentle and ingratiating, but every show of closeness is calculated, and every bit of tenderness is a disguise.
With each expedition underground, more secrets come to light. He gradually realizes that everyone around him is hiding something they have never said aloud.
Trust slowly fractures. Beneath the warmth lie nothing but schemes and secrets.
The Wu family's tangled mess has been festering for decades. Qi Xiao plunges headfirst into it, maneuvering among the various forces while secretly plotting to break free of the shackles around him.
Innocence collides with ruthlessness, and sincerity and lies become impossible to tell apart.
In this high-stakes gamble with lives on the line, no one knows what will happen after the next move until the very end.
