All You Zodiac Signs, Don’t Run. I’m Here

For a thousand years, the zodiac and the constellations have clashed. Everyone believed they were fated enemies.

Chen Jin, the sharpest blade in the Earthly Branches’ “Si Snake” assassination squad, appears to be a young man running a wonton stall in the old city. He has lived for twenty-six years without ever suspecting he carried another bloodline within him. Then, on a rainy night, he was ordered to assassinate Shen Xingran, a Leo CEO. The moment his blade touched her throat, the constellation blood sleeping inside him was jolted awake by her starlight. Snake and lion both stirred in his veins, turning him from hunter into a heretic both factions wanted silenced.

The Earthly Branches declared him tainted. The constellations called him a traitor. That same night, both sides issued kill orders.

With nowhere left to go, he was cornered at a sewer entrance by the woman who should have died beneath his blade. Two people abandoned by their own factions, carrying poison and its antidote, formed the most fragile alliance in the world.

As they were hunted, the truth gradually emerged: this so-called thousand-year blood feud was nothing but a script written by the divine descendants. The gate to the God War was about to open, and the conflicting bloodlines inside Chen Jin were the only key. His father, missing for seventeen years, was imprisoned behind that gate.

But if the gate opened even a crack, divinity would pour into the human world, and Shen Xingran, the woman who had walked this far with him, would be the first to die.

Then another “Chen Jin” sat at his wonton stall and, in his voice, told the divine bloodlines across the city, “Follow me.” At last, Chen Jin understood: this battle wasn’t about closing the gate. It was about taking himself back from the gods.
