Sleepy Eyes of Death 1: The Chinese Jade

You wake sword-first in a roadside inn where the Kaga clan's stolen jade glints under the floorboards. A bleeding courier collapses at your feet and the house fills with killers before you can blink. Then you meet her. A director’s push-in on candlelight makes the moment feel like a stolen secret. By dawn the only thing left intact is the memory of her hands brushing your wrist.
