The Server's Number One Assassin Is Working at a Dessert Shop?

When “Moonlit Owl,” a killer ranked among the dark web’s top three, accepts a million-dollar contract, she discovers her target is the barista who brings her strawberry cake every day:

Xie Zhuo, the aloof heartthrob of the chemistry department, an inheritor of the intangible art of wrapped-flower craft, and a “human lie detector” whose pupils reflect the truth whenever someone lies.

While decoding a safe with a piping nozzle, Jiang Daodao writes “One Hundred Ways to Fail at Wooing Him” on the campus forum.

Xie Zhuo sends Morse code with latte art and turns molecular gastronomy into nonlethal weapons.

**This assassination game is dangerously sweet:**

She lays a tiramisu minefield for him, while he hides an anti-tracking chip in her cream puff.

She uses a Tang saber to cut through an international cultural relic smuggling ring, while he shields the flame of civilization with velvet flowers.

When the life-or-death game that began between their parents twenty years ago starts anew, the two “drama queens” are forced to work under the cameras of an intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall:

writing love letters in icing while strangling their enemies with guqin strings.

**“Pretending to woo you is a lie, but hiding you in the sugar jar of my remaining years is the truth.”**
