Wen Yan / Su Lingzheng
(A perceptive former noblewoman / The kind and devoted young master of the Su family)
Wen Yan, a noblewoman trapped in a music house for years, once believed she could never escape the fate laid out for her.
“If you can’t get it done, I’ll support you for the rest of your life.”
“You really will support me for the rest of my life?”
“I’m kidding. I’ll support you even if you do get it done.”
But after escaping their cage, they discover that the world is far crueler than they had imagined.
The waters are murky, the fish are all dead, and long-buried secrets emerge one after another.
The powerful, old cases, love and hate, betrayal: they drag a group of people trapped by their era back into the vortex.
Some will risk everything for love, some will scheme their whole lives for revenge, and some, though they see through it all, still cannot escape their fate.
Su Lingzheng and Wen Yan want to defy fate and change their destiny, but amid the chaos of a troubled age, they are far from the only ones struggling.
