Also known under the title Wushuang this danmei Boys' Love novel series originally released in
Chinese–and coming to the English language for the first time–is set in the universe of the
author's other popular novel and animated series Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu ! In this
historical wuxia tale two rival investigators try to get to the bottom of a mystery...and
their own complicated feelings. On a snowy night an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Khotan is
ambushed on the road massacred with his escort. Not a living soul remains and the attackers
vanish—along with a precious jade intended as tribute to the Emperor of Sui. A member of the
emperor’s secret intelligence agency the Jiejian Bureau pursues the case: the formidable
deputy chief Feng Xiao. His investigation takes him to Liugong City where top martial artists
from across the land gather for a mysterious auction. But a rival intelligence agency the
Zuoyue Bureau has business in the same city—and they have sent Cui Buqu an ailing but
brilliant man who hides more secrets than even Feng Xiao. Equally proud the two immediately
clash in a battle of wits but neither can crack the case alone. To solve the mystery before
the trail goes cold they will have to join hands to uncover the truth…however unwillingly.
This historical fiction mystery about powerful martial artists (wuxia) built around the desire
between two men (danmei) takes place in the same universe as the beloved novel series Thousand
Autumns: Qian Qiu . The Seven Seas English-language edition will feature uncensored text and
exclusive new art.
