Taming a Racing Heart

On a stormy night twenty years ago, Gao Yan carried a black umbrella and pulled a dying girl from a pile of corpses. He gave her the name “A Jing” and branded her for life. He rules Southeast Asia’s underground trade, cold-blooded, disturbed, and fiercely controlling. She is his sharpest blade, taking bullets for him, eliminating traitors, managing his bloody business, and always prepared to give up her heart, an organ perfectly matched to his and beating for him alone.

This is a dark fable of taming and obedience. He teaches her to wield a knife, fire a gun, and take lives, as well as where to draw the line between pain and loyalty. She is his finest creation and his most precious spare heart. As violence, power, and twisted possession intertwine, and “Don’t you dare die” becomes the cruelest endearment, the bond that began on that rainy night will finally reach its end amid ashes and beating hearts.
