The Jiangnan salt tax case occurred, and the entire Shen family was convicted. Shen Rongxi, the only one who escaped, became the master of the Jianghu intelligence organization "Tingxue Tower" incognito. In order to investigate her father's injustice, she disguised herself as an orphan and approached Xiao Jingheng, the young minister of Dali Temple - the rumored "Jade Faced Yama" who was ruthless but powerful.
She acted weakly, kneeling in the rain and begging him to take him in, her eyes full of tears like a butterfly with broken wings. He saw through her disguise, but he still brought her into his house, allowing her to get close to his study and touch his secrets. The two of them were acting out a scene tacitly. She thought she was a hunter, but she didn't know that she had already stepped into his web.
"Why did Mr. Xiao keep me?" She asked timidly.
"I need a bed warmer." He pinched her chin, an undercurrent surging in his eyes.
The situation in the court is treacherous, and the salt tax case involves secrets from the previous court. When Xiao Jingheng discovered that she was having a secret affair with the Jianghu killer Xie Yunlan, he finally tore away the gentle mask and pressed her against the study screen: "Shen Rongxi, how long are you going to lie to me?"
She smiled coquettishly, but put the dagger against his heart: "Didn't your Excellency already know this?"
In this game of intrigue and love, whoever is tempted first will lose everything.
