With a Black Ledger in Hand, I Take Down the Powerful's Nest

[Nightlife queen turns the tables on the political world + tormented romance] She went from bank temp to queen of the nightlife overnight. 180 million in black money was just her ticket in. Amid the neon glow of Taipei’s Xinyi District, Su Jingyi holds a “black ledger” documenting every crime committed by political and business elites. She transforms from an insignificant nobody into a hunter. Shen Jinsheng, known as the “Underground Dean,” has an iron grip on everything, yet she corners him as they trade toasts. Ding Ziqi, the golden boy of politics, goes from doing business with her to becoming entangled with her, then ultimately turns his back and walks away. Ya Wen, once her best friend and now her sworn enemy, is willing to sell everything to climb the ladder. This is no inspirational tale, but a deadly game of chess, with every move carefully planned. She stakes lies, betrayal, her body, and secrets as she claws her way toward the summit of power, through Taipei’s most dazzling nightclubs and its filthiest deals, until she discovers that the face in the mirror has become the very monster she most wants to destroy. “Every penny I’ve made came from selling your secrets.” As she stands atop Taipei 101, looking down at the city that has swallowed countless lives, her phone rings. A new prey has taken the bait. This time, will she win, or become part of the darkness for good? A dark, cathartic tale of a woman’s rise that plunges into the depths of human nature, exposing the truest desires and costs beneath Taipei’s nighttime glow.
