사신이란 별명으로 불리는 자객 예서는 어느 날 수상한 남자에게 거액의 비밀 의뢰를 받는다. “성국 황제의 후궁으로 입궁해 다오. 그게 내 의뢰이다.” 뭐야 이거? 자객을 후궁으로 고용해서 뭘 하려고? “왜. 존귀하신 황제께서 미녀 자객한테 한번 먹혀보고 싶대?” “뭐 그쪽도 전혀 흥미가 없는 건 아닌데.” ……농담이 안 통하는 의뢰인이네. 망설임은 컸지만 거액의 선금을 챙긴 뒤 의뢰를 받았다. 그런데…… 의뢰인 이 자식? 황제 본인이었어?! * * *
As the deadliest assassin in the Seong Empire, Yeseo is stumped by very few jobs that come her way. But when Emperor Ahon hires her to find the spy hiding in his palace, she must also play the part of his new airheaded concubine as a cover. It takes all her patience to keep up her lovey-dovey act with Ahon during the day, and all her smarts to sniff out the enemy at night.
If only she could wrap up this job quickly and collect her handsome reward– but with so many suspicious officials and the tangled web of alliances inside the court, it’s hard to tell who the true culprit could be. Can Yeseo catch this mysterious spy before she loses her sanity and blows her own cover?
