The Undercover Agent Becomes a Powerful Heir and Takes Control

After lying low in Hailan City for seven years, Lu Zheng has risen from the docks’ most forgettable enforcer to the most trusted man at the side of Ji Rongchuan, eldest son of a powerful family. All he needed to do was find a secret ledger capable of bringing down the old port’s web of interests. But on the night the Ji family was attacked, he was forced to inherit the people, business, and power left behind by the dead.

Now the investigation team suspects he has gone rogue, the Ji family tests his loyalty, enemy factions want him dead, and the cool, formidable heir is digging into his true identity. A dangerous information broker, a master of financial maneuvering, and the liaison who alone knows he is undercover are all drawn into this ever-expanding web of interests.

To survive, and to stop being someone else’s pawn, Lu Zheng has no choice but to secure his hold on a position that was never meant to be his. While everyone still thinks he is just a chess piece, he has already begun deciding who gets to play and who gets pushed off the board.
