The Great Sheng’s God of War has fallen, and his only daughter, Su Huaiyi, has tumbled from the heights. Compensation for his death? No, it’s the seed money she uses to buy the top restaurant in the capital and secretly build the “Luque” intelligence network!

People laugh at her obsession with money, never suspecting that she commands the underground lifeblood of Great Sheng and holds both wealth and power in her hands. She uses her fortune to nurture talent and weave an all-seeing intelligence network.

The mystery surrounding her father’s death remains unsolved, and she needs a powerful protector. Su Huaiyi’s eyes shift, and she sets her sights on Xie Wei, the cold-faced, desireless regent who holds sway over the entire court.

She smiles sweetly and advances step by step.

He sits on the dais, but the tips of his ears quietly turn pink.

An approach that began as a calculated ploy stirs a heart long at rest.

She flirts without realizing it, every glance brimming with charm; he holds himself back, but when she turns away, his eyes grow dark and deep.

Xie Wei: “Princess, your father and I were friends despite our difference in age. I think of you as a younger sister. If you ever have any trouble or need anything, you can come to me at any time.”

Later, Xie Wei says: “I know how capable you are. You did just fine on your own before I came along.”

“But I want things to go more smoothly for you, and to be easier.”

“You can use me without a second thought. Treat me as a convenient tool.”

“I’d be more than happy to.”

Later still, Xie Wei abandons his plan to retire and writes on the back of an amnesty decree: “Whatever your heart desires shall be where my sword is pointed.”
