After Zhang Chulan is forced to join Nadutong, he unexpectedly meets Mu Zhiqing, the laid-back head of the Dark Fortress. She watches dramas at work and folds classified documents into paper airplanes, yet can take down an enemy with a single move when danger strikes.
No one knows her true identity: she is one of Biyou Village’s Twelve Root Vessels. And no one has discovered her secret connection to Ma Xianhong:
- She wears the magical artifact he gave her as a hairpin every day.
- He is always the first to receive the intelligence she passes along.
- They insist they’re “not close,” yet break their own rules for each other when their lives are on the line.
“Mu Zhiqing, whose side are you on?”
“Take a guess.” She smiled, playing with the hairpin, its point aimed straight at his throat.
