Her co-workers, Bethany, Clo, and Rhiannon, on the other hand, seem to have no desire to work. Although they have been warned to keep their contact with the seven men of Beardsley as minimal as possible, Shuyan comes close to overstepping the boundaries when she makes contact with the crippled and gentle master Eugene.

London, 1857. Tea merchant Sir Brooks grew strong feelings for the reckless soldier and lady in disguise Miss Taylor and yet, lustful whims of the élite and thirst for blood hindered his tender affection, jeopardizing the lives of the ones he loved.

A new intriguing view of England's history between west and exotic east will tell the story of selfless love and a sabotage. Anyone can be bold regardless of their gender.

What do you think it would have happened if our sergeant had stolen the heart of a young tea merchant? Will the Empire's wealth and safety still be guaranteed?
