Xie Linyuan, the Grand Tutor of Dayong, was a man of great power, cold and lonely, and spent most of his life playing chess. However, the moment he picked up the orphaned girl Shen Qingci, his mind was thrown into confusion.
He was her adoptive father, her master, and her total support from infancy to adulthood; she was his weakness, his obsession, and the only light in his frozen half-life. Xie Linyuan used the world as a shield to shield her from the storms of the court, but through day-to-day upbringing, the love between father and daughter turned into a bone-crushing forbidden love. In the name of protection, he worked hard to trap her by his side, and used his extreme possessiveness to weave a love network called "nurturing".
Shen Qingci struggled between awe and excitement. On one side was the grace of upbringing, and on the other side was uncontrollable admiration. She tried to escape, but he was pulled back into the abyss again and again; she tried to resist, but she couldn't escape his grasp. Above the court, Prime Minister Wei Yong and the third prince Xiao Heng pressed forward step by step, using Shen Qingci's life experience as an edge to frame Xie Linyuan; his childhood sweetheart Su Muyan returned with a bloody feud and vowed to take her away to avenge Xie Linyuan; senior brother Wen Heng silently guarded her, but in the end he was unable to save her.
When the mystery of his life experience was revealed, Shen Qingci was shocked to realize that the massacre of his family was inextricably linked to Xie Linyuan. She stabbed his chest with a sword, but completely collapsed under the affection and pain in his eyes. Xie Linyuan gave his life in exchange for her freedom, but after he left, she understood that all his forbearance, sacrifice and calculations were just to protect her throughout her life.
Frost covers the bones, and love burns the heart. When ethics and deep love collide, when power and sincerity compete, they will finally make a choice in a desperate situation: Should they cut off their love and forget each other in the world, or break through the shackles and share this eternal love together?
Purpose: Using forbidden love as a guide, to write about the two-way redemption and ultimate pull under the power of intrigue.
