The Young Constable of Kyoto

A female assassin with amnesia meets the cold-faced, cunning Lord Xiao. To survive, she acts sweet and obedient. She can serve tea, pour water, follow clues, and solve cases. There’s nothing she can’t do. Then one day, her memories return. She packs her things and makes a run for it. Lord Xiao, the young prefect of the capital, holds high office, has no interest in women, and has spent years in lonely solitude. He finally brings a beauty into his residence, only to squander her talents by making her his subordinate. Everyone suspects he has some unmentionable problem. Until one moonless, windy night, an informant reports that Lin Long has sneaked into the prison. Prefect Xiao smiles, his foxlike eyes narrowing. “Let her come and go as she pleases. She’s in my home now. If I don’t fall for her, I lose.”
