(Two elite agents + healing and redemption + espionage intrigue + one-on-one, both leads are virgins)
“He has severe germophobia, yet he craves the warmth of her fingertips alone.”
Shen Zhiyuan, the ruthless chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, keeps his distance from women. A marriage contract drags Su Qingci, a piano teacher at St. John’s University, into a whirlpool of power and prestige.
Everyone says she’s currying favor with the powerful, a canary kept by Chairman Shen on a whim.
No one knows she is the elite intelligence agent codenamed “Nightingale,” working undercover at his side to steal a top-secret list vital to the nation’s survival.
He corners her at every turn, testing her with his words and fixing her with a knife-sharp gaze.
She counters every move, turning softness into strength, her acting flawless.
The gunshots at the docks are the trap he has laid, and her pledge of allegiance to his cause.
Their confrontation in the study is his cold warning, and her declaration that she is in the game.
A fake engagement that turns real binds them together.
He commands the stage, turning the tide in plain sight; she plucks the strings from the shadows.
“Su Qingci, whose side are you really on?”
“Shen Zhiyuan, which side are you on?”
As smoke billows across the glittering city, faith and true feelings collide.
Can this game that began with lies lead to a heartfelt confession?
