Ming Tang shouldn't have been named Ming Tang, because the Ming family already had a Ming Tang. But her eldest cousin made the decision, and her father's surname had already been changed for her, so they couldn't change the name her mother had given her too.
Word is that the young lady of the Ming family has returned from studying in France, and Shanghai's most celebrated socialite is about to lose her crown! The first time the young Miss Ming appeared in public, she caused a sensation throughout high society. By the next day, so many people had come to the Ming residence to propose that they nearly wore down the doorstep. With beauty beyond compare, a degree from France, and the Ming family's darling, marrying her would bring endless prestige~ But then the young Miss Ming transformed into the head of the Coded Communications Section, a capable agent under Wang Manchun, director of the Intelligence Department. The Ming family's front door was saved, but rumor has it that the servants had to go out and buy bowls and plates in the middle of the night, because the young lady, Ming Jing, had smashed every piece of tableware on display in the house...
A loose crossover with The Disguiser, with a touch of Sparrow. Not a story to read with your brain switched on, just enjoy the spectacle~
A few rambling notes: This grew out of a flight of fancy. It's a fictional setting and fanfiction of The Disguiser, with an original female protagonist. The heroine's aura is blindingly strong. I'm a Tai-Li shipper, my writing is average, my track record is average, and there are plenty of plot holes. Enter at your own risk.
Theme: A family disguises itself for the sake of its beliefs
