Blurb One

Ninth Master Du, who built a business empire at a young age, suddenly brought a girl home. His subordinates said he doted on her immensely. Second Master Qi merely asked the girl to pour him a drink, and Ninth Master immediately ended all cooperation with the Qi family, leaving them unable to maintain a foothold in Shanghai.

"I heard you dote on me, but why does everyone know except me?" On the night of the full moon, she stood by his bed, tears filling her expressive eyes.

"Yue'er, of course I dote on you. You'll be the sharpest, most beautiful blade in my hands." Ninth Master embraced her from behind and clasped her hand in his.

In the end, that blade plunged into Ninth Master's chest.

Blurb Two

Li Yin, the Governor's only daughter, woke from a serious illness with a completely changed personality. The first thing she did was demand to break off her engagement to Ninth Master Du.

"I'll agree to any condition you ask for, but not this." Rarely, Du Yanqing looked anxious.

"Du Yanqing, are you marrying me because you love me?" She thought that when she saw him again, her heart would be still.

"Yes." Du Yanqing answered without hesitation.

"Liar. If you love me, kiss me right here."

Li Yin glanced at the busy street below and curled her lips into a sly smile. Before the smile could fully form, a cool touch landed on her lips.
