It's the Black Lotus of Revenge that's been dormant for five years. Duan Ling Xiao is a dissolute Buddhist with an overpowering desire for control. He treats An Jun Yue as a stand-in, and she sees him as prey in a chess game! In this game of hate, whoever falls in love first loses everything!

This revenge story didn't flow smoothly and overall I disliked this drama
I watched this drama a few days after its release because I love the collaboration between Li Ke Yi and Lu Dan Dong. They had amazing chemistry so I was curious to watch this drama even without knowing the plot. I must admit that this drama was difficult to watch so I didn't enjoy it.What I liked:
1. Revenge - This is the core theme of the drama. FL's father collided with ML in an accident and later died but ML's family buried the legal case with their money & influence. FL sought justice for her dad until the criminals were apprehended by police. I liked that she never "softened" or abandon her pursuit. I loved that ML never resisted arrest when police apprehended the Duan family for their crime.
2. Romance - OK seducing ML is part of her revenge plan and while I didn't like that she kept her identity a secret, the intimate scenes were hot and passionate.
3. Acting - I must say Lu Dan Dong brought his A game to this drama. I thought his character wasn't truly evil but he wasn't 100% innocent as well. Li Ke Yi was good in her role but I think she could have more. Lu Dan Dong and Li Ke Yi's chemistry was amazing, as expected.
4. Styling - There were several outfits that caught my attention for example the biker outfit worn by Li Ke Yi.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Damn, Lin Xi Qing and Ms Wu were very annoying. Two petulant heiresses who felt entitled & never wanted to be accountable for their actions.
2. Hidden identity - I disliked that FL's secret was revealed to ML with less than 6 minutes before the drama ended.
3. Writing - This story was draggy and I felt that the scenes after the arrest of Duan family were forced. Why did FL suddenly accept Lin family's offer when she vowed she never wanted anything from them a few episodes earlier? The very last scene was abrupt.
4. Bullying - This drama showcased how rich people bully others. So much negative energy. Too many slaps.
Favourite scene
FL's family friend defended and vouched for FL when she was threatened by Lin Qi Xing's brother
