The Shadow's Candy-Coated Little Killer

[The Beloved Ten-Year-Old Is a Killer with Amnesia? Candy Hides a Blade, and the Whole Family Is Smitten!]

Lin Xiaotang looks sweet enough to give you a cavity, but deep inside, the instincts of a top assassin lie sealed away! After losing her memory on a rainy night, she was taken in by her upright police officer foster father.

Deadly edges hide beneath her floral dresses, and blades are tucked into her overalls! She wanted to be a good little girl, but her killer instincts kept getting in the way: sharpening pencils into throwing stars, turning a pat on the shoulder into a shoulder throw, and becoming a human radar the moment an alarm sounds!

[Candy Is Both Her Lifeline and Her Medicine. A Bloodstained Keepsake Conceals a Shocking Secret!]

The only instinct she could remember was her sweet tooth, especially for milk candies. Then a candy stained with her guardian's blood tore open her sealed memories: the freezing training camp, the shrill, grating voice, and the scarred boy called “Zero” who once gave her candy...

When the Gate to the Abyss is forced open underground, ancient malice and man-eating monsters pour into the city. Xiaotang's “spirit sight” becomes the only warning! The bloodstained candy is her last defense against the whispers of the Old Gods, and the “key” that every faction is fighting to claim!

[The Adorable Detective Takes Action! Candy in One Hand, Skulls Cracked with the Other!]

On one side, she has the embrace of her gentle foster mother and the protection of her overprotective big brother. On the other:

The cold claws of the mysterious “Gray Wolf” organization, which has turned her former classmates into weapons for stealing candy!

Twisted monsters crawling out of the Abyssal rifts, digging deadly lairs in the shadows of the city!

Her sunny childhood friend, gravely wounded and near death; a fellow traveler who would give their life to protect her; and a scheming senior student reduced to a pawn in a conspiracy!

Watch little Xiaotang grip her bloodstained candy in one hand and wield her lethal instincts with the other! She switches effortlessly between hilarious mishaps and tearjerking acts of devotion, using her adorable little self to cut through conspiracies and fight her way to victory with her whole family!
