In her previous life, Xie Wanran died of a betrayal that she could not understand until her death. Her father, Xie Chen, favored his daughter-in-law and never treated her as his own flesh and blood. His childhood sweetheart, Prince Li Jingchen, watched her tragic death with indifference and had no way to seek help. After returning from rebirth, she walks on thin ice facing her ambitious father Xie Chen, who wants to marry his concubine Li Taotao, and the prince Li Jingchen whom she once trusted wholeheartedly but remained silent when the family collapsed.
He was completely unaware of everything she had gone through. He only felt that the person in front of him had changed overnight and was thousands of miles away from him, leading him to make a desperate move. When playing chess in the temple, they are the ones who break the game; when they fight privately, they are the swords that attack each other's hearts. She tested his sincerity step by step on the thorny road, and he returned to touch her abyss in the thick fog. The two were forced to cooperate amidst suspicion and temptation, and struggled to gain trust in the storm. She didn't know that the edge of her body made of quenched hatred was quietly disintegrating his silent mountain of protection; he didn't know that the fire of the wilderness that he burned for her was silently closing the cracks in her old ice. A tragedy in which no one knows the truth, two souls who were misplaced by fate, but between the blade and the body heat of this life, they made mistakes and fought for a chance of survival in the death situation.
Intention: She hates him with "irrefutable proof", and he loves her with "empty delusion". See how this pair of double-blind chess players, in a dull chess game, use their injuries as a contract, their lives as a bet, and on the ruins of trust, they bet on a fateful encounter.
