Lin Shu Yue, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, was believed by the outside world to have suffered intellectual impairment after a fire, becoming someone easily manipulated by others. In reality, she possesses the Hidden Mountain Clan’s unique healing bloodline, and her mother and fellow clanspeople all perished in that very fire. For ten years, she has pretended to have amnesia while secretly investigating the dark secrets behind Lin Family Pharmaceuticals, meticulously planning her revenge. Jiang Jin, the power holder of the Jiang family, appears cold and ruthless on the surface, but has long been investigating the problems surrounding Lin Family Pharmaceuticals. Driven by their own motives, the two cross paths. Through mutual probing and cooperation, amid truth, schemes, and strategic mind games, a relationship gradually develops between them—one that transcends mere mutual benefit.

Gothic fantasy about blood, magic elixir and true love
I discovered this drama when I was doing a reddit assignment on Xie Yu Wang. Darn, both Xie Yu Wang and Han Jia Hui are my favourites so I was excited about this drama. I watched it last night and wow, I was surprised.What I liked:
1. Fantasy - I never thought this could be a fantasy drama - I liked the fantasy element a lot. Magic blood and its healing properties. Experimentation for an elixir.
2. Romance - Yes, finally a ML having a spring dream. That dream was spicy and it made sense why he had that dream. They had a rocky relationship with their circumstance going against them but I enjoyed their love story.
3. ML characterisation - I liked that ML got curious about FL and figured out her secret in the first act. Then he offered a partnership deal to FL. He too had a mission to accomplish.
4. FL characterisation - She's a complex character. She had to put on a mask to save herself from being exploited. In third act, she was conflicted between revenge and love. Good character growth.
5. Acting - It's good to see Han Jia Hui in a dramatic role - she challenged herself. Xie Yu Wang played his role well too. I liked the chemistry between them - there was a tacit understanding and strong sexual tension between them.
6. Styling - Great outfits worn by ML. I liked most outfits worn by FL except the first dress. The red stains looked like blood and the colour tone - hhhhmm it wasn't a pretty dress to me.
What I disliked:
1. Abuse - I pitied FL for the abuse she had to endure. I hated that the kids were part of the experiment.
2. Antagonists - FL's father was evil. Her half-sis and stepmother were horrible people as well.
