Unruly, lonely, brave and sinful minister x paranoid, affectionate and cold Zhongcheng
Forced bondage, rivals turned into lovers, running in both directions
Xie Jin, the son of a guilty minister, hid in the battlefield under an assumed name for five years. He earned a chance of victory through his lonesome bravery, just to ask for the Holy Grace to re-examine old cases and clear away the grievances of his family.
But he never thought that before he achieved his fame, he would be framed by a traitor and become a prisoner in the imperial edict.
What made him collapse even more was that the person who was presiding over his trial was his sworn enemy who had impeached him eighty-one times in five years, Shen Shu, the fifth-rank prime minister.
He was secretly plotted in prison, and his body was poisoned by cold, which was extremely cold and bone-piercing during the attack. Only contact with Shen Shu could relieve the bone-eroding pain.
As proud as Xie Jin, Shen Shu would rather die than rely on his sworn enemy, but Shen Shu broke the cold mask many times, visited the prisoner Du Nuan late at night, secretly arranged a chess game to help him escape, and forcibly took him under his wings.
Shen Shu has always been known for her brilliance and uprightness. No one knows what kind of paranoid affection she hides behind her five-year impeachment.
She watched Xie Jin struggling in the light of swords, watching him still refusing to bow his head despite being covered in scars. She couldn't help herself. Under the shell of self-restraint and etiquette, there was a possessiveness that was on the verge of losing control.
From the tit-for-tat confrontation in the court to the forced fetters of cold poison, from mutual hostility to joint investigation of old cases, the identity of the sworn enemies cannot stop the surging affection.
When Shen Shu risked everything to protect him, and when Xie Jin broke the confrontation and publicly defended her, the two finally transcended the deep love of hatred in the ultimate pull.
Intention: What you love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas can be leveled.
