As his clan's youngest assassin, Xiahou Lian is tasked with finding a way into the aristocratic Xie family. When he manages to gain a post and befriend the family's youngest son, their relationship could lead Xiahou Lian to make a choice that will follow him long into adulthood...

A tragic past and a deadly world of assassins spark a love that defies fate in this fan-favorite danmei series!

Xiahou Lian, the youngest assassin of the infamous Qiye Garden enclave, has infiltrated the prestigious Xie household on a vague but deadly mission. Posing as a servant under Xie Jinglan, the youngest son of the family, he bides his time, awaiting orders. But as the days pass, an unexpected bond forms between them-mark and assassin alike-throwing a wrench in Xiahou Lian's plans. The decision he makes will land him in dire straits with the Qiye Garden, while Xie Jinglan walks free.

Two years later, their paths cross again in the Imperial Palace. Forced to walk a perilous tightrope of secrecy, both boys hide dangerous truths from one another. Something is terribly wrong, and they can both feel it. As one of those secrets spirals into mortal danger, an assassin from Qiye Garden-familiar and fearsome-arrives with an ultimatum that threatens to tear their fragile bond apart.
