Trap

When disguise becomes instinct and lies are survival, can you still recognize your true self? Nineteen-year-old Yu Xueqing has two names and two lives. During the day, she is Bai Yue - the lost daughter of the Bai Group, the most elegant transfer student of Mingde International High School. She can frown over a math problem, say thank you softly when receiving milk tea, and smile gracefully at parent-teacher conferences. Everyone admires her family background, appearance, and education, but no one knows how many scars she hides under her uniform. At night, she is "Silver String" - the sole heir to the Yu family, the largest drug empire in Southeast Asia. She has been trained as a killer since she was six years old, and completed her first execution at the age of twelve. The barcode mark on her collarbone is proof of her lineage that she cannot get rid of. Her mother, Mrs. Yu, sent her to the Bai family to disguise herself, just to perform one task: to get close to and monitor the mysterious class teacher Lin Zhaoran. Lin Zhaoran, the youngest Chinese teacher at Mingde High School, has gray-blue eyes like the sea before a storm. On the surface, he appears to be a gentle educator, but in fact he is a top undercover agent of Interpol codenamed "Nightingale" - or, a double agent placed by Madam Yu in the police. She herself may not even be able to tell which layer is the real disguise. "When it hurts, you can say it." Lin Zhaoran said this while treating her wounds. The temperature on her fingertips made Yu Xueqing, who had never been cared about, stop her heart. "Kill her and you will be the true heir of the Yu family." Mrs. Yu ordered in the encrypted communication, her voice as cold as a scalpel. Two women walking on the edge of black and white test each other in classrooms, auctions, underground laboratories and luxurious banquets. Every glance is a psychological game, every touch is a fatal temptation. Yu Xueqing is studying Professor Lin Zhaoran's "King Lear", but she plays a more dangerous script in her life - loyalty and betrayal, blood relationship and truth, survival and destruction. When the truth about her father's death comes to light, when the police set numerous traps, and when Mrs. Yu sets the final test, Yu Xueqing must make a choice: Should she trust the woman who gave her a moment of warmth, or be loyal to the mother who molded her into a killing machine? Should he break free from the shackles of blood and pursue the dim light, or ascend the throne as king on the throne of darkness?
