In the fourth year of the Republic of China, nine-year-old Lin Guizhi entered Pei's house holding the silver chain left by her mother, thinking that what she met was salvation.
Pei Shizhang stuffed the white jade pendant into his palm and said, "If you lose it, you will be beaten." But he didn't know that this jade pendant had been the rope that tied him from the beginning.
Later, he fought for a foothold in the military camp, thinking he could get closer to Pei Shizhang, but he discovered Pei's father's plan first.
"He is just a pawn used by the Pei family to consolidate their power."
What's more, he didn't expect that his obsession with Pei Shizhang would be revealed by Shen Qiwu under the coercion of Pei's father, and he would become the laughing stock of the whole family.
When Rong Qingrang came in with a boyish attitude, he tried to manipulate him in the same way that Pei Shizhang treated him, but he saw his own patheticness in Rong Qingrang's despair.
The moment Lin Guizhi lay on the hospital bed and watched the dawn, she realized that from the day he entered Pei's house, he had never escaped from the situation set by Pei Shizhang. Even destruction was the outcome that the other party had already planned.
