Ning Zhiwei, an accountant who has returned from studying abroad, marries Sheng Yanchuan, the warlord’s heir and the person most likely to have caused her father’s death, in order to clear her late father’s name of embezzling disaster-relief funds.
After the wedding, she discovers that Sheng Yanchuan is also searching for a missing ledger.
As their investigation deepens, the two gradually learn that their fathers jointly concealed a deal capable of changing the fate of the entire city.
The most vivacious died in silence, the gentlest died through betrayal, the most rational died in madness, and the fairest died of selfishness. What is that, if not irony?
P.S. Fans of murder-mystery role-playing games might enjoy seeing the inspiration for the heroine!
