At the age of seven, Yin Zhu was taken to the enemy's capital as a trophy, and spent ten years in the palace of the powerful. He couldn't learn martial arts or read the art of war. He only learned how to laugh to avoid being beaten and how to kneel to survive.
At the age of twenty-seven, Su Huaiyin gained power and conquered Yin Zhu's homeland with his own hands. He has seen too many false faces and is instinctively disgusted by any purposeful flattery.
When Yin Zhu was sent to the Regent's Palace, he spent his whole life learning to please this indifferent man - bringing tea, meeting by chance, showing scars, and blocking knives. Every move is carefully planned and every step is taken on thin ice.
But when he finally won Su Huaiyin's trust and even his heart unexpectedly, a threat from the past pushed him into a desperate situation——
He stole things he shouldn't have stolen.
And Su Huaiyin asked him: "Which of your words is the truth?"
Yin Zhu opened his mouth and found that he couldn't answer.
He acted for nineteen years, and only after the audience left the stage did he realize that he never had a real face.
Intent: When pleasing becomes instinct and performance becomes a mask, the true self has long been lost. The cruelest thing is not to have never been loved, but to have been loved but destroyed by your own hands.
