“If loving you is a sin, then I willingly accept eternal damnation.”
He is the most dangerous shadow in Heisheng Province, and the only light in her life.
Qi Fei, codename “Shadow,” is a top-tier assassin, cold-blooded and merciless. He takes jobs based only on the price, never asking whether they're right or wrong. His silver, gold, and black-gold masks represent three levels of killing. The legendary mask of the God of Death, stained with blood, is one he has worn only once: that night, every corpse on the street was his handiwork.
Guan Yaoyao, the daughter of Xinglan City's richest man, is pure as snow and knows nothing of the ways of the world. An accident brings her into his world and pulls him out of the abyss. He doesn't dare tell her who he really is, so he can only love her as an ordinary man, even though this love is destined to remain hidden in the shadows.
“Qi Fei, will we be together forever?”
“We will.” (He lied.)
When the Guan family crisis erupts, she is forced to marry the most overbearing powerful man's son in Heisheng Province. On her wedding night, her body falls from a high-rise, her blood staining her wedding dress red.
That night, the underground world of Heisheng Province trembles. The God of Death's mask, sealed away for years, has returned.
“If this world has no place for her, then I'll make everyone pay with their lives.”
(No harem, no formulaic tropes, devastating love, violent beauty. When a cold-blooded assassin falls in love, he either loves with everything he has or destroys the world.)
