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.
