Ornate reins

Xu Weixin, the former heir of the Xu family, was framed and disgraced. Seeking revenge and to reclaim everything, she meticulously manipulated Lu Yi, using him as a pawn. However, she unexpectedly discovered that the mastermind behind everything was someone else entirely, and the death of Lu Yi's beloved sister was also secretly connected to the power struggle within the Xu family. The two formed an alliance. She ruthlessly schemed to drive him forward, while he willingly served as her henchman, gradually developing feelings and loyalty in their daily interactions. Neither the wielder nor the pawn had genuine feelings, but as the mastermind relentlessly pressed forward, misunderstandings and conflicts of interest arose. Would this bond, forged in scheming, ultimately crumble, or would it allow them to escape their predicament and join forces to fight back?
