Like Wife, Like Shadow: The Governor’s Pillow Talk

The land is in chaos, and ambitious warlords rise on every side.

Pei Ye, the emperor’s close aide and commander of the Nine Gates, made a name for himself at a young age. Cunning and ruthless, he wields immense power, second only to The Outcast.

Rumor has it that he has no interest in women or men, and that his moods are as unpredictable as the weather.

People tremble at the mere mention of him, unaware of what goes on inside the Commander’s residence:

He sips tea alone, his expression calm;

He eats simple meals, chewing slowly;

On nights bright with candlelight, he sleeps peacefully;

No one sees the faint warmth in the Commander’s lowered eyes or his indulgent smile. That is because there has always been someone by his side, a “her” whom no one but him can see.
