[Not a traditional secret-identity story]
Jiang Qiyao was raised to become the next head of the Jiang family, a clan of spirit mediums. Since childhood, she has known that the family’s direct descendants are doomed to die young at thirty.
A chance encounter changes the course of her fate. She learns that Zhou Shixu may be the key to breaking the curse, so she carefully plans her moves and draws closer to him step by step.
Zhou Shixu is an investigator with the Special Investigation Office. Keeping a secret, he has always lived alone in the shadows. Then, while hiking in the snowy mountains, he meets Jiang Qiyao, who claims to be his fan.
She approaches him with an ulterior motive, and he opens his arms to welcome her.
He gives her his heart first, only to accidentally uncover all her schemes. Did she have genuine feelings for him too, or was it all part of the plan?
Zhou Shixu: “Even knowing you deceived me, I still love you.”
Jiang Qiyao: “I know you love me, but hold on before you do. I’m about to kick the bucket.”
