Penniless and desperate in glittering Shanghai, Feng Shizhen, a brilliant scholar with a hidden past, accepts a dangerous position as private tutor to the city's most powerful, corrupt family. Her genteel facade hides a master strategist, a deadly martial artist, and a burning desire for retribution against the shadowy forces that ruined her own. The target: The notorious Rong family, kingpins of opium and arms. Her mission: Infiltrate their opulent mansion, gather secrets, and orchestrate their downfall, all while charming their suspicious matriarch and their surprisingly sharp, arrogant eldest son, Rong Jiashang. But the Rong heir is no fool. He sees through her act, challenging her not with words, but with a game of cards where every move reveals more than just a hand. Can she outwit the family's cunning scion and expose their empire, or will her delicate disguise shatter, exposing her to a fate worse than death?
