Chi Ran is an inconspicuous illegitimate daughter of one of Haicheng's powerful families. She has no kindness or innocence, only a wickedness that runs bone-deep and a desire to survive. She doesn't like flowers or romance. She likes money and power. The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. That's simply how it is when you're born into a family that devours its own.
To avenge the humiliation she and her mother suffered, Chi Ran uses every trick in the book to climb to the top. She makes deals with the devil. She hates her second sister, who acts so superior while pretending to be kind and charming. Her sister's virtues are the very things Chi Ran cast aside, yet yearns for most. "Chi Ran, I hate you so much!" "What right do you have to hate me? Because I made a little effort and took what you were supposed to have?"
Chi Ran is an actress, and her greatest talent is hiding her feelings. She plays along with him. He needs affection, while she needs his help. "Chi Ran, I won't be so awful to you anymore," the man murmurs in her ear after drinking too much. Chi Ran only gives a scornful smile. "Brother, don't be foolish. We're just using each other." She won't fall into a man's web of love.
Chi Ran goes to great lengths to bring the Chi family down from its lofty perch. The family's disgrace becomes the talk of all Haicheng, but no one dares confront her. That's exactly the result Chi Ran wanted.
