Shen Jinghong is the sharpest knife in the Shadow Pavilion. He is cold-blooded and taciturn, and has never failed.
She was ordered to assassinate Xie Linyuan, the powerful chief minister of the cabinet. She was not killed by the knife, but was held in his palm, becoming the most secretive secret guard.
Everyone in the world thanked the chief minister for his noble aloofness and exhaustive plan. No one knew that he hid this killer by his side, protected him in his eyes, and imprisoned him in his heart.
From assassination to surrender, from being strangers to sharing life and death, they gradually uncovered the mystery of each other's life experience in the cracks of court intrigues and Jianghu pursuits, and also found the meaning of living in each other's redemption.
He came to fight for this world, but she could only belong to him.
Purpose: In troubled times and machinations, two people with the past go from confrontation to redemption, and finally find their own self-worth and direction in life, conveying the belief that "even in darkness, they can illuminate each other."
