Seven-year-old Gu Yuan fled from the beatings and scoldings of his adoptive parents. He was besieged by assassins in the mountains on a rainy night and was taken in by Shadow Pavilion after he fell into a coma. For the next eleven years, she practiced martial arts hard in the pavilion. She regarded the "warmth" here as a treasure and secretly determined to repay her with a mission. At the age of eighteen, she accepted the instructions from the Shadow Pavilion and returned as the estranged legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her goal was to monitor and assassinate the Prime Minister's adopted son Gu Lin. ?
When Gu Yuan first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he not only had to deal with the difficulties caused by the second lady Gu Ning'an, but also had to be vigilant against Gu Lin at all times. Gu Lin was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and treated others gently, but she always noticed something strange - the coldness in the courtyard late at night, the Shadow Pavilion wound medicine in the dark room of the study, and the training scars on his wrists all hinted that he had a close relationship with the Shadow Pavilion. ?
The Zuo envoy ordered Yu Ye to take action. Gu Yuan sneaked into the study and pointed the dagger directly at Gu Lin's throat, but he discovered his identity. Gu Lin revealed her past when she was assassinated in the mountains when she was seven years old. She confessed that he had saved her back then, and also revealed her true life story: due to the selfishness of the emperor, she was sent away as soon as she was born and became an orphan. ?
The truth shocked Gu Yuan, but she remembered the "favor" of Shadow Pavilion, and she did not understand the entanglement between Gu Lin and Shadow Pavilion. Facing Gu Lin's complicated gaze, she held the dagger tightly, still regarding him as the target who must complete the mission. A confrontation wrapped in the mystery of their life experience and shadowy conspiracy officially kicked off between the two.
Purpose: Appearance hides conspiracy, Gu is willing to break the shackles of identity and keep inner justice
