The love of two chess players.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Wen family. After the family was overthrown, she calmly planned the situation, took the initiative to marry the chief minister, and spent three years laying a web of revenge.
He is the chief minister of a humble family. He climbed from the bottom to the top of power. His methods are ruthless and the city is unfathomable. People in the court call him "Mad Dog".
She thought she was taking advantage of him.
He thought he was protecting her.
Until one day, they discovered——
The key evidence she "found" was deliberately released by him; the assassination he "happened" to escape was her warning in advance; she thought he didn't know her plan, and he thought she didn't know his affection.
The two smartest people test each other, use each other, and protect each other in a chess game of intrigue and revenge.
Whoever is tempted first loses.
But what they don't know is that this game of chess has never been about winning or losing from the beginning——
It's "how much are you willing to give up for the other person".
Is she willing to give up her obsession with revenge for him?
Is he willing to give up his most powerful position for her?
——Two people who had been alone for thirty years recognized each other in the dark. They are the same kind, rivals, chess pieces, and the only ones who can stand by each other's side.
Purpose: To establish equal love
