In the political chess game of the Dayin Dynasty, no one understands that "you can't help yourself" better than Xie Jingci and Shen Jinghong.
Xie Jingci was once a powerful regent, but on the eve of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he was given a glass of poisonous wine and his entire family was executed. The person who gave him the poisoned wine was the "good student" who he personally assisted.
Shen Jinghong, the daughter of a former criminal minister, entered the palace and became a concubine for revenge. However, when she was about to overthrow her enemy, she was sacrificed as a pawn by Xie Jingci and died in a sea of fire.
Both of them thought it was the end, but when they opened their eyes, they were both reborn ten years ago: he was still the dormant companion of the prince, and she was still the general's legitimate daughter who had not yet entered the palace.
This time, Xie Jingci held the secret chess piece tightly and vowed to protect the whole family and trample the traitors under his feet; Shen Jinghong hid his edge and just wanted to stay away from the court, but he happened to meet him again on a narrow road.
Carrying the memories of their past lives, one of them set up a trap step by step, and the other used tricks to hide murderous intentions. But when their chess games gradually overlapped, Xie Jingci discovered that the woman he regarded as an abandoned child in his previous life actually hid a secret that could overturn the situation; Shen Jinghong was also shocked to realize that the man who killed her in his previous life actually had a struggle hidden in his eyes that he was not even aware of.
Are they going to continue to be suspicious of each other and repeat the same mistakes? Or work together to break the situation and rewrite the ending destined by fate? When twins encounter the whirlpool of intrigue, every move is a gamble of life and death.
Purpose: In the coercion of power and hatred, explore the possibility of trust and redemption, and break the closed loop of fate.
