Everyone in Jiangcheng knows Ye Jin, the forty-eight-year-old "Queen of the Night," who controls half the city's underground lifelines. She clawed her way out of the slums and spent twenty-eight years building her own underworld empire with an iron fist. She believes in neither family nor love. The only two people she trusts are Shen Qing, her female assistant, who took her in when she was at her lowest and whom she treats like a younger sister, and Lu Chen, the boy she has carefully kept in a gilded cage for three years, whose smile is like the morning sun.
Shen Qing once took a knife for her. Lu Chen promised to stay by her side until they grew old.
Ye Jin believed them both.
Until, at her forty-eighth birthday banquet, she downed a glass of champagne and felt her body go limp. She could only watch as Shen Qing gracefully bent down to pick up her fallen high heel, while Lu Chen tenderly held Shen Qing around the waist.
"Sister Jin, your era is over," Shen Qing whispered by her ear, her red lips barely moving.
"I'm sorry, Sis," Lu Chen said, toying with the key to Ye Jin's safe. "Sister Qing gave me so much more than you ever did."
