Beneath the silk veil

Zheng Lianfu was only a child when the palace turned on her noble household. One night, her family was slaughtered for uncovering a royal secret. Hidden in a cupboard and mistaken for a servant girl, she survived—scarred but silent.



Years later, she returns. Not as a noble’s daughter… but as a nameless shadow. An assassin cloaked in mystery. Her blades are sharp, her eyes colder than snow, and her heart beats only for vengeance.



But fate plays cruel games. She finds herself protecting a lonely prince—an unfavored son of the emperor, surrounded by enemies. He knows nothing of her past… yet she sees a piece of her broken soul in his struggle.



As palace plots thicken and masks begin to fall, A’fu must choose: her revenge, or the boy who’s starting to matter more than she ever planned.



Secrets. Blood. Betrayal. In a world where loyalty is bought and sold, can she survive long enough to uncover the truth beneath the silk veil?
