Ten years ago, the Sang family was destroyed, and her parents were brutally murdered. She fell from a beloved heiress to the very bottom.
Ten years later, Sang Wenxi returns under a new name. As the investment consultant Su Shi, she infiltrates the Shangguan Group, determined to uncover the truth about what happened and make her enemies pay.
But she never expected her first step toward the Shangguan family would be marrying their supposedly most harmless heir, Shangguan Hengjin.
Everyone thinks this is a marriage of convenience between two castoffs from wealthy families.
One is a refined playboy ignored by his family, smiling as he gives way while secretly drawing the entire Shangguan family into his game. The other is a fallen heiress who has endured for ten years, seemingly aloof and compliant while plotting revenge at every turn.
They test each other and use each other, treating their marriage as a transaction.
She wants to use his identity to pry open the Shangguan family's secrets. He wants to use her arrival to purge the forces that have held sway for years.
Only after repeated clashes do they both realize:
There really is someone in this world who can understand their ambition and embrace their madness.
When the mastermind is exposed and the old debts of the wealthy families come due, they are no longer each other's pawns.
They are a mad couple standing beyond the chessboard, wielding power together.
“If everyone wants us to lose, then let's show them, ”
“who really wins this game.”
