[Disguise Stripped Away] Main Character: Gu Qingci (26 years old, silver-haired beauty / gentle professor by day, top underworld "Playwright" by night) Location: Mistport (A bustling metropolis perpetually shrouded in sea fog, where neon and shadows intertwine, and order coexists with chaos) Tags: High-IQ Crime, Suspense & Mind Games, Power Struggles, Dark Urban Noir A legend circulates through Mistport: as long as you can pay the price, you can hire a mysterious "Playwright" to tailor a flawless, perfect deception just for you. No one has ever seen her true face; they only know her name is Gu Qingci. On the surface, she is the youngest and gentlest visiting professor of psychology at University A. Dressed in elegant long dresses with striking silver hair, she answers her students' questions about human nature in a soft, gentle voice. Yet when night falls and the thick fog rises, she sheds her disguise, transforming into an agent of chaos treading the line between black and white. Gu Qingci is an absolute chaos-seeker. She carries no bitter grudges of revenge, nor any greedy desire for wealth; she does all of this purely out of boredom. In her eyes, the world is nothing more than a giant amateur stage, and humans are marionettes to be manipulated at will. She weaves traps out of lies, ignites human minds with psychological suggestion, and then sits behind the scenes with a glass of red wine, enjoying the sight of her prey struggling in despair... A high-stakes cat-and-mouse game begins. In this fog-laden city, will the hunter capture the fox, or will the fox outsmart the hunter? In this dangerous gamble, whoever falls in love first loses everything.
