Aihui Ying witnesses her father's assignation. Obsessed with justice, she leaves her home behind, seeking out the killer.
Disguised as a son of her father's, Aihui gains entry to the engineer school - her father still a famous student. Desperate to learn more about him and forge a connection, Aihui cannot hide from the reality of his truths.
Balancing invisibility while motivated to show her father continues on her own abilities, Aihui must choose her own journey.

⭐️: 3.5/5

• I love a good Mulan retelling! 
• I love Ying. Her desire to join the Engineers’ Guild is so understandable, and she takes each challenge so well 
• I didn’t really feel the chemistry between Ying and Ye-Yang 
• I feel like it was too easy for her to keep her identity hidden. Only showering was addressed, but what about changing clothes? Using the bathroom? Her period?
• This felt a lot more about her time in the Engineers’ Guild with random reminders about her father, even though it was initially set up to focus on her father 
• While you can definitely see that there will be a second book, it didn’t end on a huge cliffhanger
