Moonlight in One Hand, a Blade in the Other

1994, Jiangcheng.

Chen Feng was the national sanda champion, until one leg was shattered in an injury no one could explain. The year he retired, he joined the city's most lavish nightclub, the Metropolis. On the surface, he was the administrative manager, overseeing the shifts, pay, and daily needs of more than a hundred hostesses. Behind the scenes, he kept order, taking the drinks, knives, and bullets meant for everyone in the building.

Everyone in the building called him Manager Chen, but no one knew that the Metropolis's true owner, Su Man, was thirty-three, the woman kept at Lord Zhao's side, and his lover hidden beneath the light on the top floor.

The respectable world invites him for tea; the underworld calls on him to collect the bodies. Above him are Lord Zhao's watchful eyes, beside him is Su Man's warmth, and behind him is the knee shattered in 1992, with no explanation ever given.

All he wants is to recover the truth on the edge of a blade, and protect someone beneath the moonlight.

But in the jianghu, the books are never balanced.
