[Manic, Theatrical Revenge-Seeking Heroine × Cold, Cunning, Devoted Powerhouse]
Twelve years ago, during the Bloodridge massacre, Yi Qingluo witnessed her loved ones die before her eyes. Deep in the forest, she encountered a mysterious young man, and together they helped each other survive against all odds.
She left her wealthy family behind, entered military school, ventured abroad, and founded Xingliao. After four years lying low overseas, she returns, battle-hardened and soaked in blood.
Disguised as a fragile international student, she acts her way through one scene after another, pretending to fall into traps and using others' power to investigate the truth behind her family's massacre.
Everyone thinks she is prey, someone anyone can manipulate. Only she knows that from the very beginning, she has been directing the course of this game.
Shen Xuan is the supreme ruler of Skebang, the Skebang Emperor, and one of the most powerful figures in Huaguo's business world. Suspicious, ruthless, and decisive, he sees through every scheme.
He sees through the woman's layers of disguise at a glance. He knows she is using him to plan her revenge, yet he cannot bring himself to push her away.
Yi Qingluo: “Revenge is all I have left in life. I can’t give anyone a future.”
Shen Xuan: “After all these years, even if you use me at every turn, I’m still willing to be a pawn in your hands.”
They scheme against each other and pull each other close.
She steps into the mire carrying a blood feud, while he lets down his guard and willingly becomes the blade in her hand.
The world sees only how deeply he cherishes her. No one knows she is the sole light in his desolate years.
