Shuan Mei

The Marshal is known as a ladies' man, but no one knows if he's ever dated anyone. He wears a black uniform and gloves and smokes black cigarettes. He hates the color purple, but he doesn't care what color the woman he loves wears.

He's in love with Yuna Lin's adopted sister. He's well-connected with another influential Hong Kong family and is friends with Yuna's brother. He's long been in love with her, but previously kept aloof out of respect for his friend. Yuna found herself at the center of a scandal when she confessed her love to her half-brother, who rejected her. Then, to avoid scandal, her biological father exiled her to France, and upon his return, she was taken in by her godfather's family. However, she was the heiress to a pharmaceutical company, though she preferred book club and taught at the academy.

Serious, cool-headed, accustomed to blood. Polite, well-mannered, able to tease and joke. Possessive, patient, authoritative, capable of sincere love.
