Yes… Luo Xiu

Luo Li stepped into her house after a long day of work. She had spent the afternoon buried in bureaucratic tasks. 

Tedious? Yes, but far better than being at home.

As a butler closed the door behind her, the first thing she saw was Luo Xiu, her mother, sitting on a sleek black three-seater couch, engrossed in a book. 

Luo Li moved cautiously toward the staircase, hoping to slip by unnoticed. But how could she go undetected? Her mother was also a Hunter—one far stronger than her daughter.

"A ball will take place in two days. Your father and brother will return from the capital to attend," Luo Xiu's cold, detached voice echoed through the room as she calmly shut her book.

Luo Li's hands trembled slightly at the words. It wasn't the reaction one would expect when hearing that a father was coming home—especially not one fueled by fear and anxiety.
