She lay low for years seeking revenge, and upon reaching adulthood, she ventured alone to Thailand, aiming for the powerful Chen family of the underworld. Heaven granted her beauty, which she used to her advantage, seducing the cold-faced prince of the Chen family, Ang Wei, at a solemn Buddhist temple funeral. But gaining his favor was not her intention, nor her ultimate goal. In the depths of their passion, he whispered in her ear, "Your body belongs only to me. If one day you betray me, I will kill you with my own hands." She froze for half a second. As she left him, she used the gun-assembly method he had taught her, pointing it at his heart a second faster than he could. Ang Wei grabbed her hand and stabbed it hard against his heart, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. "Very good." They stared at each other, the once tender gaze gone. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?" She gazed at the flickering, despairing ruthlessness on his face, stubbornly refusing to answer, her fingers trembling. He forcefully twisted the gun from her hand, pointing it at another man. His dark pupils were black, his voice low and chilling, "Then let me ask you another way: did you sleep with him?" (Theme: Loving you is like walking into a trap. The male lead and the second male lead are both ruthless and gentle, but both are devoted and strange.)
