『The Mad Mob Boss: Handsome, Powerful, and Tragic』
Mad dog / Not a darling of heaven, he is a demon crawled out of hell / Very bad in the early stages / Not a natural-born villain / Handsome, powerful, yet tragic (Shuai-Qiang-Can) / Modern wealthy family, urban / All sexual orientations The Bian family was originally a mid-tier underworld family in Gu City, rife with internal strife and scheming. From the moment Bian Jiye was born, he was destined to be an unwanted sacrificial lamb of the family. From childhood, he lived in a cold, desolate side courtyard, starved and freezing, growing up amidst torment and suffering. His father favored his legitimate older brother, viewing Jiye as a lowly, illegitimate burden. He beat, scolded, and humiliated him at will, never offering a shred of paternal love. His mother, born of humble origins, barely survived in the cracks of the family, choosing to ignore all his suffering to protect herself. Unloved by his father, neglected by his mother, living under cold shoulders and abuse day in and day out—this was the sole color of his entire childhood. His legitimate brother saw him as the biggest stumbling block on his path to power. From childhood to adulthood, the plots never stopped: framing him for treason and leaking secrets, forcing him to endure brutal family punishments on his behalf; secretly sabotaging and wasting his innate top-tier Sentinel combat talent; and uniting with side branches of the family and external enemies to set deadly traps time and again. During his childhood and youth, he hovered on the brink of death multiple times as they sought to eliminate him once and for all. ♠️ Desperate Escape, Falling into the Endless Dark Alley At the age of 16, while the family was busy sucking up to the powerful, fighting for influence, and picking sides in a power struggle, no one cared about him as he barely survived after endless torture. Unwilling to remain trapped in the family cage to be slaughtered or sacrificed at will, Bian Jiye, covered in old and new wounds, resolutely broke free from the Bian family and stepped alone into the dark, bone-strewn underground alleys. With no backing, no money, and no identity, he struggled to survive at the dirtiest, most chaotic bottom tier, keeping company with death every single day. 👀 Licking Blood off a Blade, Forging a Dark Empire from Scratch At 17, he started as a desperate assassin at the bottom, building his own underground dark network. Initially taking on top assassination contracts in the city to eliminate rivals for various factions, he slept on the streets, went hungry, and survived countless near-death experiences. During one of his missions, he witnessed weak, marginalized Sentinels and outcasts being casually murdered by wealthy elites, dying without a shred of dignity. While others advised him to rely on prominent families and safely clean up his act to survive, he resolutely chose the darkest, most sinful road of no return. He established the "Jinye" (Ashen Night) underground empire with his own hands, monopolizing the city's assassin recruitment, controlling all high-end grey entertainment industries, running the forbidden mutant black market, and taking over all shady underground deals in Gu City. He let himself be cloaked in infamy, notoriety, and a bloody reputation, carrying all the darkness and risks entirely on his own. 💎 Half a Lifetime of Torment, Bearing All the World's Pain Alone In his years carving out a path in the underground, he never received a single ounce of help. Not only did he have to fight for territory and clash with various enemies, but he also had to stay on guard day and night against his biological father and brother's relentless pursuits to wipe him out. With no connections or backers, he used ruthless means to gather all the marginalized outlaws abandoned by the wealthy families. With no financial support, he risked his life to fight for power in the deadly cracks between the black and white worlds. Scars upon scars covered his entire body. His mental barrier was shattered and torn repeatedly due to the betrayal of his closest relatives and long-term trauma. Countless times, he neared a total mental collapse as a Sentinel, yet he bore all the backlash and endless agony entirely on his own. 🧲 Reaching the Pinnacle, Ruling the Gu City Underground At 22, the name Jinye echoed throughout Gu City, becoming a terrifying legend that struck fear into everyone's hearts, a name everyone avoided. He cared nothing for reputation or honor; he only clung obsessively to the absolute power that no one could shake. At 26, he fought his way to the top alone, swallowing and crushing all rival syndicates in the city, completely taking control of the order of Gu City's underground. He then systematically dismantled the corrupt Bian family, personally raising the biological family that once trampled him to the ranks of the top three wealthiest families in Gu City. He commanded the entire dark side, with thousands of factions bowing before him, taking his place on the dark throne where no one from either the legal or illegal worlds dared to provoke or could oppose him. 🗯 Supreme Glory, Lifelong Loneliness and Brokenness He wielded supreme underground royal authority, controlling the life and death of the city's dark side, with no one in the world daring to disobey or capable of crushing him. Yet, his father still despised and rejected him, his mother remained cold and distant, and only a blood feud of mortal enmity remained between his siblings. A lifetime of slaughter brought him immense power, but he never received a single drop of familial warmth in his entire life. His glory was entirely built on blood, tears, and bones. Underneath his invincible, powerful shell lay a psychological trauma that could never heal, leaving him alone for his entire life, trapped eternally in the endless darkness. ♥️ Image Source (Xiaohongshu): Yun Yu (Mini Version) Aesthetic layout: censy
