Blade in the Dark Tide: Watcher of Sin-Blood

Burdened by the stigma attached to his family for five generations, Lin Jian Shen cannot pass the political vetting required to join the national security service. So he chooses to become a “traitor.”

He exposes Hua Guo’s vulnerabilities before the M Country Congress and is denounced across the internet as a treacherous academic. This is only the first step of the plan.

Marked by the blood of a criminal, he ventures deep into the dark web and contends with a mole in national security, using psychology and cutting-edge technology to lay a deadly trap.

When everyone sees him as an enemy, only his grandmother’s pickle jar and one fervent heart know the truth:

The sharpest hidden blade exists only to protect the light.

“I can’t be one of you, but I can do what you can’t.”
