Synopsis
Shen Du serves two masters and belongs to neither. Planted as a double agent inside a great household, she passes secrets both ways — and in her sleeve rests half a copper token, a relic of a spy line wiped out five years ago, whose survivors could save her or sell her. Every audience is an interrogation; every kindness is a move. A taut 100-chapter game of espionage, disguise, and divided hearts in an ancient capital. Chinese edition; English translation in progress.
沈渡是双面谍，袖中藏着铜片，两头传话、两头不靠。她袖中还攥着半枚铜符——那是五年前一条断了的谍线上留下的信物，认得它的人，关键时刻能救她，也能卖了她。每次见面都是审讯，每份好意都是落子。100 章完本，谍战权谋，步步惊心。
Chapter 1: The Copper Piece in Her Sleeve
When Granny Zhang pushed the door open and came in, Shen Du was slipping a copper piece into her sleeve.
"Third Young Lady, Madam is calling for you." Granny Zhang's eyes swept around the room. "Wash your hands clean before you go."
Shen Du rubbed her fingers against the hem of her clothes. The copper piece pressed against her wrist, cold as a lump of ice.
In the main room the charcoal burned bright, and a heavy scent of aloeswood pressed down until it was hard to breathe. Matchmaker Sun sat in the lower seat, twisting a handkerchief in her hands, her eyes following Shen Du's heels. Her stepmother, Madam Wang, reclined on the couch, the lid of her dressing case open, with one compartment inside left empty.
"Kneel."
Shen Du stood still. She looked first at the dressing case, then at Matchmaker Sun.
"Has Mother lost something?"
"My filigree gold hairpin." Madam Wang set her teacup down on the small table with a sharp clink from its base. "Yesterday, in the shen hour, you came into this room of mine."
"I came in to bring Mother medicine. Mother was coughing, and Granny Zhang said the medicine had to be taken while it was hot."
"And bringing medicine took you right up to my dressing case?"
Matchmaker Sun hurried to cut in: "Oh, Third Young Lady, a single hairpin is not worth much money. Just admit it and be done, and do not make Madam angry. For a young girl to have light fingers - if word gets out, what family would dare take you afterward?"
Shen Du turned her head to look at her and smiled a little. "Mother Sun, are you here today to arrange a match, or to judge a case?"
