Phoenix Requiem
She was born to be a sword—sharp, silent, and deadly.
Trained by the cold-hearted Meishan Sect master, Mo Yan became the most lethal shadow in the empire, carrying out assassinations with flawless precision. Yet behind her stoic mask lies a heart bound by poison and control, her every breath owned by the very master who raised her. Until one mission goes awry—and she comes face to face with the one man who dares to challenge her silence: Prince Xiao Zhengyu.
He should have been her enemy. Instead, he sees through her.
On the other side of the game, Yan Changxin—daughter of a powerful Northern Di statesman—plays a dangerous tune beneath her demure facade. Gifted, calculating, and burdened by secrets, she becomes entangled in a deadly political dance where loyalty is a luxury and survival a gamble.
As war brews and empires collide, three hearts are set on a collision course of betrayal, forbidden love, and vengeance. In a world ruled by power and poison, can love ever be more than a weakness?
A tale of deadly beauty, hidden daggers, and the cost of freedom.
