In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Xu Jing'an married into the Lu family.
The groom, Lu Zijin, was the most mysterious noble man in Beiping City. He sat alone until dawn on their wedding night and left her a note: You don't have to wait for me.
After spending three months alone in an empty house, she found a boy's diary in the Lu family's warehouse. The owner of the diary is called Lu Yu, but no one in the Lu family has ever mentioned this name. On the yellowed page, there was a shocking line of words - "Second brother wants to kill me."
And Lu Zijin happens to be ranked second.
A newlywed wife, a missing boy, a wealthy and distinguished family that keeps secrets. The last entry in that diary was written on June 17, the 15th year of the Republic of China, which happened to be the same day as the Lu family's obituary announcing that "Lu Yu died young."
But is he really dead?
What Xu Jing'an didn't know was that from the moment she opened the diary, she had already entered a chess game that lasted for two years and no one knew about it. Her husband, her father, her "dead brother" whom she had never met, everyone is waiting for an answer. And those secrets that have been hidden for seventeen years are coming to the surface little by little with the first snow in Beiping this winter.
Intention: Born toward the sun
