After Becoming a Double Agent, I Caught the Deaf-Mute Villain’s Eye

Milo is greedy and useless. His only value in life is being a stand-in for a top-tier criminal’s deceased beloved, who died young.

One day, his rich sponsor waves a hand at him and says, “I’ve kept you for a thousand days, so now it’s time to put you to work. Go undercover and get me some information!”

Halfway through the job, Milo gets found out and, as expected, gets invited for a little chat. But the other side decides he’s useful and wants him to keep working undercover. Milo says, “Fine, but it’ll cost you extra.”

That’s how he makes money from both sides of the law. Then a shootout at a bombed-out mausoleum catches him off guard. He just manages to latch onto a powerful ally in the rubble, only to discover that the man mowing down everyone in sight is the very person he was spying on.

This man is not only a notorious villain, but also a deaf-mute super-alpha who can’t be reasoned with and is quick to kill.

Milo thought his face would get him out of anything, but the other man is fiercely faithful to his dead beloved and shows no mercy to a lowly stand-in and undercover agent like him.

Other stand-ins might only suffer heartbreak, but Milo could lose his life. The man latches onto him like a damp, sinister water ghost. From then on, Milo’s daily routine consists of getting toyed with and beaten up, with the occasional lucky chance to fight back.

Plenty of people think Milo will eventually be tortured to death, but after a trip south, they see a sinister shadow looming around him. Anyone who tries to threaten him is dealt with quietly.

Meanwhile, Milo becomes the prime suspect in an international murder case.

When both sides of the law demand answers, Milo says, “Who told you that an undercover stand-in has to be a shining beacon of justice?”

His goal has always been to find a sharp blade, then tame it and make it his own.

An extremely scheming, fragile and twisted bottom x a sinister, deaf-mute, beast-fighting top

Reader’s Guide:

1. The top is a virgin; the bottom is not. Their relationship strongly features a weaker top and a stronger bottom. Please be warned.

2. Old-school melodrama, pure angst, tragic love, and a cast full of lunatics.

3. Modern alternate setting, involving crimes and murders.

Upcoming novel: After Being Threatened by My Surveillance Target, I Begin High-Risk Domestication

Ji Xuan is the youngest police captain in the Skynet Action Bureau. The day he is fired in record time, he receives a chance to redeem himself: get the truth out of Han Sisheng, a suspect under residential surveillance.

Watching through one-way glass, Ji Xuan keeps Han Sisheng under round-the-clock surveillance. Han Sisheng has a striking face, but his behavior is so strangely docile that Ji Xuan can’t find a single thing to fault him for.

This one-sided control ends at a time Ji Xuan could never have predicted.

One day, Ji Xuan is dealing with a corpse in his living room, the floor and walls spattered with blood.

And the man he has been watching day and night suddenly opens the door to an address he was never told.

Han Sisheng stands in the doorway, surprise mingling with amusement. “Officer Ji, now I finally understand why you were fired.”

Caught in the act, Ji Xuan doesn’t stop what he’s doing. He looks up impassively. “Are you threatening me?”

“How could I?” Han Sisheng crouches in front of Ji Xuan, his eyes brimming with uncontrollable, pathological excitement. “You can put me back in my cage whenever you want... so I’m begging you. Please take me in and keep me. I promise I’ll be more obedient than you can imagine...” He glances at the corpse. “I’d never cause you trouble like this useless piece of trash.”

Han Sisheng: severe histrionic personality disorder, prime suspect in a series of murders, an S-class psychopath, a top predator who hunts only lambs.

And Ji Xuan? He’s not even trusted to carry a gun on assignment. Everyone at the bureau knows him as a senior desk officer who gets by on his brains.

Ji Xuan realizes that he really is being threatened.

But an even stronger sense of displeasure washes over him. This is exactly what happens when you’re too accommodating: people start taking advantage of you.

Ji Xuan straightens up, his shadow covering most of his face as he looks down at Han Sisheng. “Begging me?” The toe of his dress shoe nearly touches Han Sisheng’s blood-soaked knee. “Then let me see how sincere you are.”

Han Sisheng freezes for a moment, then his eyes ignite with even greater excitement. He sinks both knees into the pool of blood, raises his neck, and looks almost delirious with adoration.

“Officer Ji, whatever you want me to do... Ah, no. Whatever you want to do to me, I’ll let you...”
