Six months after our blind date and whirlwind marriage, my husband Shen Ci and I are the model couple everyone in the neighborhood admires.
I'm a gentle, patient community mediator, and he's a mild-mannered, reserved director of security technology. Our life is peaceful and uneventful, making everyone else envious.
No one knows I'm secretly undercover with the city's economic crime investigation unit, investigating a transnational financial crime syndicate.
Even less do they know that the man sleeping beside me every night has lethal combat skills, impeccable counter-surveillance instincts, and mysterious black credentials and weapons I can't identify.
We hide behind our disguises, test each other, and carefully guard our secrets.
Until one mission, when our enemies corner us and we're forced to reveal our trump cards at the same time.
He shields me with his gun, his gaze sharp as a blade.
I strike back with a needle, swift and decisive.
The moment our eyes meet, our disguises shatter completely.
So you've been deceiving me too.
So the person beside me in bed has been hiding even more than I have.
From then on, the undercover couple join forces: by day, we play the loving spouses; by night, we work together to get things done.
I'll shoulder the missions and fend off the dangers. My wife must come through safe and sound.
Two powerful leads with secret identities + marriage first, love later + sweet, satisfying face-slapping + no angst throughout
