Crimson Desire: Cheng Qianli's Conspiracy

1968. New Orleans simmers with tension as Cheng Qianli, the dangerously magnetic investigator with a reputation for breaking rules and hearts, stumbles upon a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power. When political assassinations rock the nation, Qianli isn't just seeking justice—he's claiming what he believes is rightfully his in this dangerous game of desire and deception.

The smell of bourbon and cigarette smoke clung to Cheng Qianli's expensive suit as he burst through the door of his French Quarter townhouse. The television blared in the background, showing replays of Robert Kennedy's assassination—again and again and again.

He didn't bother turning on the lights, navigating the dark rooms with the confidence of a man who owned every inch of this space and everyone in it. His wife was already in bed when he pushed open the bedroom door, the moonlight catching the dangerous glint in his eyes.

Without a word of warning, Qianli grabbed her roughly by the arm, yanking her from the mattress. His fingers dug into her skin hard enough to leave marks as he pressed his body against hers, forcing her back against the cold wall.

"They think they can just keep getting away with it," he hissed, his voice low and dangerous in her ear. His free hand wrapped around her throat, not tight enough to cut off air but firm enough to remind her exactly who was in control.

"But they don't know me," he continued, pressing his thigh between her legs with deliberate pressure. "They don't know what I'm willing to do to uncover their little secrets."
