[Free-spirited, unhinged noblewoman x competitive, possessive, unhinged heir]
After unexpectedly learning that her father's death may have involved a hidden plot, Shen Yangui decides to investigate the truth in secret and vows to kill his enemy to avenge him.
One night, while returning to the capital, she comes across a man fighting with someone.
She only means to watch from the sidelines, but the man irrationally tries to kill her too.
His excuse is that only the dead can keep a secret.
She's always done as she pleases. Why would she let someone else decide her fate?
In a matter of moments, the tables turn, and the young man who had been so confident at first becomes her prisoner.
His life and death are hers to decide.
She has already discovered during their confrontation that he is carrying a deadly poison and will be dead within a year.
Because of his exceptional martial arts skills, she spares his life in exchange for three promises.
She assumes they will have no further dealings beyond that.
Unexpectedly, he later comes to her of his own accord, hoping to join forces with her to investigate the truth about what happened years ago.
She leans down, lifts his chin with a finger, and smiles, her eyes full of contempt:
"What makes you think you can work with me?"
"Is it that broken, battered body of yours?"
"Or that identity you dare not reveal?"
Her hand traces his chin and then his black iron mask. She is disdainful from beginning to end.
