The Queen of Secret Identities Takes the World by Storm, Playboy, Drop the Act

Jiang Li, the top devil instructor at the Dark Blade Base, is a perennial number-one on the dark web's hit list and the undisputed best in her field. Her codename is “Ember.” Her sharp tongue can leave an opponent speechless, and her fists can beat even the King of Hell into submission. What she loves most is watching people seethe with resentment, unable to do a thing about her.

Three months ago, she took a “gem” of a trainee under her wing: a good-for-nothing with terrible stamina who was always slacking off, his shifty eyes making it obvious he was up to no good. Jiang Li couldn't be bothered to call him out. She simply trained him to within an inch of his life, nearly making him cry and beg for his daddy on the spot.

When she returned to the country, a ridiculous true-versus-fake heiress drama landed in her lap. Jiang Li had just traded her camouflage fatigues for civilian clothes when she ran into Xie Yibai, the capital's number-one playboy.

The man sported a flashy hairstyle, drove a limited-edition supercar, and smiled at her with an air of “innocent sincerity.” He was a hopeless good-for-nothing who wouldn't leave her alone, claiming it was “love at first sight, and I won't marry anyone but you.”

Looking at that familiar face, Jiang Li silently rolled her eyes. Wasn't this the rookie she'd trained until he questioned his entire existence back then?

Until one day...

When the secret identity of international hacker J was exposed, the powerful figures of the capital were left dumbfounded.

The identity of L, the youngest surgeon, came to light, sending shock waves through the medical world.

The heiress of a K-country financial dynasty revealed her trump card in public: she controlled a multinational conglomerate, and she was here to back Jiang Li up.

Traces left overseas by “Ember,” number one on the dark web, set the world's underworld forces scrambling to investigate.

Watching his wife pick up a tactical knife and toy with it, Xie Yibai finally froze as the truth dawned on him.

“W-Wife,” he stammered, “the devil instructor who threw me into a swamp to feed the crocodiles and forced me to run fifty kilometers with a weighted pack... That was really you?”
