[Mixed-race woman assassin × foxlike, cunning merchant]
During the Republican era, a bar run by a mixed-race assassin opens in Shanghai. Its leader is a woman who looks like a filthy beggar. Her past is a mystery, and she is impossible to read.
Zhou Zhuo, the adopted son of Shanghai’s Lord Jingang, is a foxlike merchant. He smiles as he discusses contracts with people, then knocks them flat the very next second.
By chance, he meets Ai Ci and grows curious about this mysterious woman assassin who has suddenly appeared. After testing her again and again, he notices her captivating charms, and falls for her.
