Thank you, NetGalley and the Publisher for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Wow, this book was amazing. From page one I was invested in the story and couldn't stop reading. The world-building of yin shanghai was rich, and I really felt like I was there with Jing. I loved the pacing of this, I felt like there was a good balance between action and dialogue. At its core, it is about Lady Jing discovering who she is, and overcoming what others say about her. The relationship between her and Mr. Lee was an added bonus. And don't get me started on Big Wang, Hornsey, and Bullhead, their relationship with her was beyond cute, and you could really see how much they wanted to protect her. I'm definitely excited to see what else this author comes up with, and to continue Jing's story!
