In the heart of the Dafeng capital, a young woman lives a triple life, each identity a carefully maintained lie. To the world, she is Xiao Ruohan-the warm, sharp-witted, and notoriously practical adopted daughter of the city's most celebrated baker. She delivers cakes to princesses and commoners alike, her simple blue hanfu and wild curls a familiar sight in the bustling streets. In secret, she is Simi-a former assassin, trained by the powerful Supervisor of the Astronomical Bureau and then corrupted by a mysterious "Master." This shadowy figure holds the promise of her lost biological family over her head, using a painful, psychic tether to force her into servitude as his unwilling spy. And now, by the Supervisor's decree, she has become Copper Gong Xiao Ruohan-an A grade Guardian whose unparalleled intellect and martial skill immediately place her among the elite. She is assigned to the Flaming Hall, right alongside the clever and charismatic Guardian Xu Qi'an, who is unknowingly her primary surveillance target. As Xiao Ruohan navigates the treacherous politics of the Guardian yamen and the even more dangerous secret communications of the Realm Sect (where she holds the identity of No. 10), she must balance her growing friendships-with the playful Princess Lin'an, her loving mother, and the charming Xu Qi'an himself-with the deadly demands of her past. "The Path of Yin and Yang" is the story of a fractured soul walking a razor's edge, forced to be a weapon while yearning for the simple warmth of the oven. She must use all her guile to play the spy, the guardian, and the baker, all while searching for a way to break her chains, discover the truth about her past, and finally seize control of her own destiny.

Then a stranger appeared at her school. He knew her name. He claimed they had already met. And before she could figure out what he meant, her world quite literally began to shake.

But because somewhere between the violence, the secrets, and the trauma that changed her life, she'd lost herself. For two years, she built a life on her own terms. She traveled. She healed.

Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.
