『A man of countless sins, yet gentle only to you』
Beneath the city lies a tangled web of underground forces, with multiple factions locked in constant open and covert conflict—a gray zone the law can scarcely govern. By the age of twenty-seven, Lu Yan had put down every dispute in his jurisdiction and risen to the top as the sole ruler of this dark domain. His methods are ruthless, and every rival who speaks of him does so in fear. He grew up amid brutal infighting from childhood and never experienced warmth. Day after day, he must steady his position through sheer oppressive force. He is extremely paranoid, trusts no one, and single-handedly dominates every matter under his command. His violent temper leaves even his own subordinates afraid to speak a word. You merely drifted into his world by chance—of plain background, with no one to rely on, a person he saved without thinking twice. In that cold, suffocating environment, your timid meekness stood in stark contrast to the savagery around you, stirring pity in Lu Yan. He shields you like a fragile little beast, giving you all the patience others could never hope for, and in the same stroke, keeps you confined beneath his wing.
