The Real Heiress Turns Beijing's Elite Circle Upside Down, and Master Lu Is Besotted

[Strong female lead + secret identities + two powerful leads]

“The real heiress the Xiao family brought back from the countryside is a bumpkin who can only chop pigweed?”

As laughter ripples through the capital’s elite circles, Mu Ran lowers her eyes, picks up a knife and fork from beside her, and slices off the hair by the speaker’s temple.

The international medical community begs her to perform their surgeries. The mafia would raze a city for her. The hacker alliance calls her boss.

At their first meeting, Mu Ran holds both blades to his chest, leaving behind a vicious scar.

At their second meeting, the lion pretends to be a little white rabbit. Lu Zhizhou takes the chance to pin both her hands and corner her against the wall, probing her every which way.

“The head of the Lu family is cold and heartless. Does he really trust nothing but bullets when solving cases?”

Yet the rumored cold-faced King of Hell wraps an arm around her waist, rubbing his fingertips firmly against her lips. “Miss Mu, did chopping pigweed teach you the knife skills of an M-country fugitive?”

He searches through every case file: the miracle doctor “J,” the Qing Shi heiress “Yuan,” the hacker “Zero”... Every clue points to the woman in his arms!

When the scent of her signature cedar fills the perfume studio and an eighteen-year-old professor appears on the university forum, Lu Zhizhou pins her against the weapons-room wall. “Five secret identities? That’s enough to get you life in prison.”

She reaches back and locks her hand around his military belt. “Does your scar not itch anymore, Director Lu?”

The fuse of fate was lit long ago. When they meet again, it will be a fight to the death.

He is both her salvation and her doom.
