The Butcher of Nanshi

My name is Shen Luxi, Lin’an City’s most famous female butcher. One swing severs bone. I never need a second blow.

But my real business is conducted in a hidden room behind the butcher shop: information, sold at clearly marked prices, with no tricks and no exceptions.

The blood debt of thirty-two lives rests on my shoulders. I live for one thing: revenge.

The Anping Marquis’s household has a notorious madman of a concubine-born son. He’s been locked away for fifteen years, and even the maids dare short him on meals.

The first time I saw him, he was feeding a three-legged cat in the back courtyard, smiling like an idiot.

I thought, “It’s an act.”

The second time I saw him, he strangled an assassin sent to silence him with his bare hands, then turned and smiled at me. “Miss Shen, don’t be afraid.”

I thought, “So I was right. It is an act.”

The third time, he slid a list in front of me, with the name of every person who had wiped out my family written on it.

He said, “Let’s work together. We want the same thing.”

I asked him what he wanted.

He said, “Revenge. Then death.”

I said, “Fine. Whether you die or not is none of my business.”

Later, when he nearly did die, I charged into the encirclement with my butcher’s knife and dragged him out.

He asked, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get involved?”

I said, “I changed my mind.”

My enemies are mine to kill with my own hands. And I’ll protect my own with my own hands, too.
