Synopsis:
She is the most insignificant thief in the chaotic world. In order to survive, she resorts to any means necessary and steals ten taels of silver from a young noble. Little does she know, he is none other than the notorious traitor general, whose hands are stained with the blood of his fellow countrymen. Her desperate attempts to escape pique his interest, and he lights an incense stick, playing a deadly game of survival with her.
“I’ll give you the time it takes for one incense stick to burn to escape. Don’t let me catch you, or else—there will be no way out.”
She flees to a prominent family, changes her identity, and marries a man, believing she will live a peaceful life. But when she raises her eyes, she finds him smiling at her, gently and dangerously calling her “Sister-in-law.”
She loses this game and becomes his slave. True to his word, he coldly throws her into the flames and the abyss, only for her to discover that, under his cruel training, she has developed an armor impervious to blades and bullets. In the chaos of war, she can stand tall as a woman with unbreakable resolve.
He is like a boat crossing a river—he only ferries her for a while before disappearing into the darkness. Who is he? His journey was long, and the road back is even further. They are both lost souls, so why not cross the river together?
