There's Something Wrong with the Chief: Du Zhu You Bing (Novel) Vol. 3

“LET ME LIVE FOR YOU, ALL RIGHT?”

After converging in the capital, Xiahou Lian and Shen Jue soon learn that the imperial court is no safer than the roads that brought them there. Power is shifting perilously, secrets are tightening around them, and Xiahou Lian’s attempts to protect himself through deception place him in unexpected danger.

Shaken by the fallout, the two dare to rebuild the bond they once lost. As Xiahou Lian gains a foothold in the Eastern Depot, he and Shen Jue are swept into a storm of treachery and enemies. A once-overlooked pawn has become a deadly adversary, and every step becomes a gamble with their lives.

As peril closes in from all sides, Xiahou Lian and Shen Jue must rely on the fragile trust they’ve only just begun to reclaim—because this time, it may be the only thing that keeps them alive.
