(No rebirth, no time travel, no system, evenly matched.)
In Chang'an City, everyone knows that Jiang Wan, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, is gentle and modest, and is a role model for women from aristocratic families.
Underneath that bright smile, there is a cautiousness and sobriety hidden in every step.
Gu Yan, the eldest son of Prince Jingguo, is the most popular upstart in the court.
Behind his gentle and jade-like appearance, there is a city that has no plans left and the storm of the past buried deep in his heart.
A carefully designed "hero saves the beauty" is the beginning of the chess game.
He regards her as the key to breaking the situation, and she sees through his disguise and takes advantage of it.
In the fog of water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River and the undercurrent of the changes in imperial merchants, the two of them had a tacit understanding between cooperation and temptation, but they also had their own thoughts.
He gave her a grand engagement, which was an extension of true love and strategy.
She stepped into his world, thinking she had touched his heart, but she didn't know that she was still in the center of his chessboard.
Until he was convicted of heinous crimes and he was behind bars, the building was about to collapse.
Everyone advised her to protect herself wisely, but she dropped all disguises and ran for him under the thunder.
At that moment, Gu Yan realized that the chess game he had planned all his life had been disrupted because of her.
And when Jiang Wan overturned the game of chess with her own hands, she just wanted to ask him:
"Gu Yan, since we met until now, have you ever been half sincere to me?"
Intention: In a world of hypocrisy and calculation, break the situation with sincerity, use trust as a chess piece, and finally find yourself and the truth, and protect Chang'an for the rest of your life.
