Fifteen years ago, by the Liyue Lake, Shaolin Yifan, the second son of the Lin family, lost his footing and drowned. A piece of paper about a baby's marriage decided in childhood was sealed.
When the Su family fell and old matters were brought up again, the marriage contract went round and round and fell to Lin Yibai, the deceased's brother and the leader of Haicheng.
On the second night after the engagement was finalized, the humiliated Su Qiaomu threw herself into Liyue Lake.
When he opened his eyes again, what came back inside this body was the tree that had been trapped at the bottom of the lake for five years.
Five years ago, Lin Yifan lured her into the game with a promise of exchanging souls within two days. The promise expired, the scam was revealed, and Qiao Mu was imprisoned alone in the dark and cold depths of the lake, never seeing the light of day.
When she returned to the world, she had two obsessions.
She wants to find the treacherous Lin Yifan and find out the truth behind the death of her biological parents in a car accident; she also wants to pay tribute to the perpetrator Gu Zehua for the deceased Su Qiaomu, and escape the fate of the Su family who regards her as a bargaining chip.
Lin Yibai, whose facial features are very similar to Lin Yifan's, has become her only clue to explore the past. Qiao Mu took advantage of this engagement to get closer, intending to use him as bait to complete his revenge plan.
But she never expected that the man who had always been cold and distant would see through the deep scars hidden under her layers of disguise.
He was willing to give up a project worth 500 million, endure the turmoil of the group, silently stand in front of her, bear all the pressure alone, and never revealed any pain.
Suspicion slowly melted away, and wariness turned into heartbeat.
The lies that have been buried in the lake for five years will finally surface.
Purpose: To be reborn from a desperate situation, seek the truth, and complete self-salvation in the entanglement of love and hate.
