The Hidden Edge of a Dandy

Ning Wuyi is the capital’s most notorious young marquis. On his wedding day, he stayed the night in a brothel and became a laughingstock across the city.

Everyone says that Princess Mu Yunni is cold and noble, and that she married the wrong man. They feel deeply sorry for her.

No one knows that as he lies drunk against a beauty’s lap, the jade ring he toys with commands the world’s hidden networks.

And no one knows that every night, she waits with a lantern at the alley where he returns, undeterred by wind or snow.

Until the night he is ambushed and gravely wounded, then clutches her hand in his delirium and cries, “Yunni.”

Only then does she lean close to his ear and whisper, “If you die, I’ll make the whole world join you in the grave.”
