This is an old-style, Machiavellian and beautiful work that tells the story of a fatal love between a revengeful boy and a time-traveling prince that begins with exploitation, gets trapped in a game, and finally delivers.
On the surface, he is docile, but in reality, he is ruthless and vengeful. He seems tired, but in fact, he is in control of the situation and suffers from extreme tension.
The entire Shen family in Jiangnan was massacred. Shen Yanqing, the only survivor, sneaked into the capital for revenge and deliberately approached Xiao Jingyun, the rumored frail and taciturn prince of Prince Kangle, seeing him as an excellent shelter and stepping stone. He put on a docile skin and hid his poisonous pride, but he didn't know that there was a soul from another world hidden under the skin of his chosen "prey".
Xiao Jamyun saw through the young man's disguise, but acquiesced in allowing him to stay by his side. He has been walking alone in this strange world for too long. The hatred and vitality burning in Shen Yanqing's eyes are the only warmth he can grasp to prove that he is still "alive". Under the eaves of the palace, the two began a tacit conspiracy and temptation - he used his power to seek revenge, and he used his "living" to stay warm.
From suspicion to trust, from use to deep love, from working independently to standing side by side. In the turbulent court, they were each other's sword and scabbard. In the fire of blood feud and conspiracy, they forged this relationship that began with calculation into an irreplaceable bond.
This is a dangerous game between the hunter and the hunted. When the pretense becomes true, and when the sword is pointed at the common foreign enemy, they discover that the deepest trap is the open chest for each other.
Intention: Redemption and growth, power play
