A tale of a cunning male lead and an all-powerful girl with many hidden identities—an illogical story of mutual salvation. The adopted daughter of the Shi family was brought back from a remote rural place. Upon her return, her mother, Leng Shuxue, immediately warned her not to tell anyone outside that she was her daughter, and even more so, not to mention that Leng Suxue was her sister.

Throughout all those years, there was never a trace of her birth mother, Leng Shumei, in her life. After remarrying into the Shi family, her mother never cared for her again, and her father remained absent as well.
