Everyone in Chu City knows that the Shen and Su families have been enemies for generations.
Su Wanyi is the last surviving member of the Su family. She escaped death in the massacre that wiped out her family and was adopted by a couple. She once thought she had found a new lease on life, but eventually saw the truth: she was merely a bargaining chip her adoptive parents planned to sell. Once she came of age, they would offer her to Zhang Xiaoshan, the deputy warlord, in exchange for wealth and status.
Shen Yanchen rules Chu City with an iron fist, ruthless and cold. Rumors throughout the city say he will never spare the last surviving member of the Su family.
In public, they clash at every turn and keep their distance, playing their roles as sworn enemies to perfection.
Until one moonlit night, when he caught a fleeting glimpse of her in a small courtyard. The battle-hardened warlord, unshakable as a mountain, felt his composure crumble.
From then on, he watched over her from the shadows, night after night, and quietly sabotaged the deal. She pursued the old case alone, every step bringing her closer to danger; he silently shielded her from the deadly traps laid in secret.
Beneath the Shen residence, dark currents surged as an invisible net slowly drew tight.
Everyone said he would kill her with his own hands. No one knew that this sworn enemy had already entrusted every weakness he had to her.
