Jake Hou is reborn as Liu Xiaoxuan, the "Ghost" of the Liu Military Estate. Mute, malnourished, and tethered to an oxygen tank, Xiaoxuan is a young master in name only-hidden away in a hospital to avoid embarrassing his warlord father.
But the System has other plans.
Armed with a Palo Santo Cross, a loyal bodyguard with a deadly oath, and a "Divine Truth" skill that strips men of their secrets, Jake begins to dismantle the Liu family from his wheelchair. When a dark alchemical miracle produces two supernatural heirs in a single night, the eyes of the Northern Border turn toward the Snow Pavilion.
Now, Jake must navigate a political marriage to a ruthless Northern Cavalier, the jealousy of a twin brother who shares his face, and the devotion of a scholar who sees him as a Prophet.
In 1933, China is a powder keg. Jake Hou is the spark.

"They think I am a broken vase, meant to sit in the corner and gather dust. They don't realize that even a broken vase can be sharpened into a shard. I am Liu Xiaoxuan, and in this world of iron and blood, I am the only one who knows the Truth."
