Wutao learned early that survival was a matter of timing. Born into wealth but denied its protection, he grew up under a name meant to shame him—one chosen to remind him of what his family believed him to be. Filth. Silent, observant, and underestimated, Wutao perfected the art of disappearing in plain sight. Then Feng Lang enters his life. An heir to a mining empire who refuses to play the role expected of him. Disciplined, distant, and unyielding. He wakes one morning with no memory of the night before, only the imprint of a stranger’s touch and a face he cannot place.. Wutao remembers everything. The encounter was not an accident, nor was it meant to be remembered. But memory has a way of resurfacing As Feng Lang searches for answers, Wutao is forced into proximity with the one person who could unravel him. Each step closer risks exposure. Each moment of restraint threatens collapse. Because Wutao was never meant to be seen. And once he is, there may be no way to disappear again.
