Peerless: Wu Shuang

Meng Xi Shi

When a Khotanese envoy and his entire escort are slaughtered on a snowy road, a priceless jade tribute disappears without a trace. Feng Xiao, a formidable investigator from the Sui emperor’s secret intelligence agency, follows the clues to Liugong City, where a clandestine auction has drawn the realm’s most dangerous martial artists. There he encounters Cui Buqu, the brilliant and secretive commander of a rival intelligence bureau, and their immediate clash of pride and intellect proves as compelling as the mystery itself. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two must navigate political intrigue, hidden motives, and deadly martial rivalries in this richly atmospheric historical mystery of wit, power, and reluctant partnership.
