The Dark Pavilion's Powerbroker's Most Cherished One

[Two equally powerful leads + secret identities + mutual devotion]

Gu Qingci, the young master of the Gu family in the capital, is a delicate beauty whom everyone thinks has been spoiled rotten. That is, until an unexpected clash brings him face-to-face with Shen Jinghan, the mysterious heir to the Shen Group.

One is the ruthless leader of the underground organization Dark Pavilion, feared for his merciless methods. The other is a seemingly harmless young master who hides the identity of Phantom, a top assassin.

Their first encounter is charged with hostility, but neither realizes this clash has been foreshadowed all along. He is both the leader who strikes fear into the underworld and the anonymous hacker Zero. He is an undefeated legend in the fighting arena and a hidden authority in the appraisal of ancient artifacts.

The Gu and Shen families wage a covert battle, while the two men test each other and glimpse tenderness beneath the other’s hard exterior, and strength beneath his delicate facade. As their secret identities are revealed one by one, their families’ rivalry collides with their hidden lives. The contest that began in suspicion has already turned into a mutual, unspoken surrender.

“Shen Jinghan, how many secrets do you have?”

“Why not start by telling me how many knives Young Master Gu is hiding?”
