A cold and ruthless war god, poisoned and seeking an antidote, disguises herself as a delicate dancer to set up a romantic trap for the hedonistic playboy who poisoned her. However, the other party is also wearing a disguise, hiding their identity. The two act against each other, feigning sincerity while secretly scheming, pushing and pulling in a battle of love—only to unexpectedly uncover a shocking secret about the celestial realm.
--
Three thousand years ago, to reduce bloodshed, the rulers of the six celestial realms established a Truce Pact, replacing war with competitive duels and creating the Qingyun Tournament. Since then, the Qingyun Tournament has become the most important event in Hexu, and to win, all realms are willing to do whatever it takes.
For seven consecutive years, Ming Xian (played by Lu Yuxiao), the heir of the Yaoguang Mountain, was the undefeated champion. But this year, he shockingly lost to Ji Bozai, a challenger from the Extreme Star Abyss. Some claimed Ji Bozai used hidden weapons, while others suspected him of poisoning Ming Xian. However, before he could clear his name, Ming Xian mysteriously disappeared after the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ji Bozai, once a nameless wanderer, became a rising star in Extreme Star Abyss. He appeared to be a carefree hedonist, drinking and indulging in pleasure daily, but in reality, this was all an act—to lower the guards of those who feared him and to deter powerful families from arranging political marriages with him. As a former convict, Ji Bozai had a greater goal: to free all prisoners and end their suffering.
One day, the flirtatious Ji Bozai encounters Ming Yi, a seemingly sweet and clever dancer, and uses her as a shield to fend off unwanted attention. However, as they grow closer, he realizes that she is surrounded by countless mysteries. As they pretend to fall in love, their feelings become real—until Ji Bozai discovers that Ming Yi is actually his former rival, Ming Xian.
The truth is, Ming Xian lost to Ji Bozai because she had been poisoned by the deadly Leaving Grief Flower and had little time left to live. She approached Ji Bozai because the only antidote—Yellow Millet Dream—was in his possession. The two, whose fake love had become real, must now cast off their disguises and face each other as enemies once more...
