My Wife is a Spy

Six years after her brother was killed, Ying Yue finally became the top spy agent at Juyan Intelligence Agency. She leads a double life: a secretary by day, and a spy at night. However, after accidentally protecting her CEO boss on a shoot out, he suddenly has his eyes set on taking her as his wife! ***** It was Ying Yue who broke the tension with a light laugh. "I'm sorry Mr. Fei, I know I might sound absurd, but it sounded like you wanted to actually, really, be in a relationship with me." "It is not absurd." He cocked his head to one side. "I find you smart and attractive, and trust me, I do not remember being attracted to anyone else." Ying Yue's calm façade broke. She frowned, unable to understand what was going inside the brain of the great Fei Huangjin. She used to admire the man, but now she couldn't help wondering if the incident last night made him crazy. "Mr. Fei, I implore you not to make fun of me like this." "I'm not joking." "Yes, you are." She insisted. "Go on a date with me." "No." "And call me Huangjin." "I will not, Mr. Fei!" Her voice had already inched a notch higher. "Why not?"

For an ordinary person to wage war on a spy, they would first need to become a spy. For a spy to wage war on a powerful spy organization, their only option would be to join a different yet equally powerful spy organization. If they are unable to join a powerful spy organization, then they would need to establish a spy organization that could go to war with one until victory is obtained or until they perish. This is a tale about a group of ordinary people that manage to accomplish extraordinary deeds while participating in the war between spies.

This novel is a very interesting blend of story points if you are interested in military and spy novels this is for you. The FL seems to be a bit too overpowered but then again that is kind of typical for the spy genre for the main character to be overpowered. The story is slow moving and I wished there was more time skips.
