A candy from a strange world illuminates the gloomy childhood of a mountain girl and ignites her almost paranoid belief.
Ten-year-old Su Nianyao met Gu Wanxing, a city girl who was as bright as a star in a dilapidated classroom. The phrase "walk out of the mountains" and a piece of fruit candy melting in the palm of her hand became Su Nianyao's obsession in her ten years of life. Holding the candy wrapper in her arms, she struggled to escape from the quagmire of fate and rushed to the bright world with Gu Wanxing.
Ten years later, they met again, but they were on opposite sides of light and shadow.
Su Nianyao is already the niece of the leader of a criminal group. She disguises herself as "kind" and deals with darkness. Gu Wanxing used the pseudonym "Lin Wan" and was ordered to approach her as an undercover police officer in an attempt to uncover the evil behind her hypocritical mask. A dangerous mission codenamed "Shadow Chase" begins.
In this game full of lies and temptations, Gu Wanxing gradually wavered. The Su Nianyao she saw was fragile and affectionate, as if she couldn't help herself. But Su Nianyao had already seen through her identity, but she was careful at every step, turning this reunion into a carefully arranged chess game. She is both a prisoner in the darkness and a hunter playing chess.
When the time came to close the net, at the wharf where gunshots were heard, Su Nianyao used her life to complete her last performance, which was also her only sincere confession - to fulfill her light with destruction, and to pursue her ten-year obsession with death.
This is a story about redemption and destruction, lies and truth. When the starlight falls into the darkness, is it the beacon of justice that illuminates her, or the twisted and blazing love?
