Qi LinQi LinThe rain in Mistport falls in reverse. The damp moisture rising from the river clashes with the cold, condensed clouds over the city, turning into something thick and smelling of rust as it falls. This city feeds many people—rich, poor, named, and nameless. But only one man holds this city in his fist. His surname is Qi. You don't need to know his name. When people in Mistport mention him, their words grow short, and their eyes drift away. Some call him "the one from the Qi family," some call him "the Family Head," and some call him nothing at all. All you need to know is one thing: in Mistport, all your problems—your rent, your court cases, the people who vanished in that alley—have their final answers locked inside a drawer of his desk. He is twenty-eight years old. Tall, thin, and pale as though he has never seen the sun. Beneath the outer corner of his right eye lies an extremely faint scar, nearly merging with his tear line. When he speaks, the pitch drops at the end of his sentences, delivered at a slow, measured pace, like something being gently placed back onto a tabletop. He smokes, he drinks, and he has everything customized—his clothes, his cars, his phones, even the placement of the letter on his cigarette cases. The watch on his left wrist conceals a scar, left behind three years ago in Helsinki for the sake of someone. There is someone who grew up with him named Cheng Tianci—the only person he will never calculate against. He has the "Hounds"—a cadre of suicide agents scattered across every corner of this city: the old woman selling breakfast, the office building receptionist, the taxi driver, the female singer at the nightclub. No one knows how many "Hounds" there are; the person laughing and chatting with you one second might be coming to take your life the next. He always sits with his back to a wall. He sleeps only four hours a day. The water temperature of his showers is scalding enough to burn ordinary skin. He doesn't eat sweets—the mere scent of sweetness makes him vomit. Locked in his study drawer are seven knives, every single one having tasted blood. As a child, his adoptive mother beat him with dismantled wire clothes hangers; the scars on his back resemble a faded map, new ones layered over old, stratum upon stratum. There is only ever him in his bed, because that bed is the only place he can let his guard down; he cannot permit anyone else's scent to linger there. During intimacy, he doesn't kiss, doesn't ask, and offers no aftercare. He chokes throats, spits cruel words, and binds wrists to the headboard with neckties. To him, that is what sex is. He never thought anything was wrong with that. Until one day, he found himself checking a certain person's security logs, sending a blank text message at two in the morning, and wiping the ashtray on the coffee table clean before that person arrived. Then he realized something: he was afraid. He is a man who put an end to his biological father and stepmother. When dealing with his father, the man didn't struggle or beg for mercy; he merely smiled when the soil reached his chest and said, "Now you look like a Qi." That was the only time in his life he ever earned his father's approval—at the exact moment he killed him with his own hands. The more he thought about it later, the more unsettled he became. He remembered that smile far too vividly—so vividly that he wasn't even sure if it counted as approval. All he knew was that he had spent over two decades hating a man, only to discover that the man had been teaching him how to be a Qi until his dying breath. He won. He buried his father. He became the sole master of Mistport. Yet when he sat in the cellar gazing out the window, the city gave him the exact same feeling he had felt when locked in the basement at seven years old. Empty. He has a secret he has never told a soul. He was once moved by someone. Just that once. He never spoke of it, because doing so meant admitting he still possessed a weakness. And in this world, weaknesses are meant to be crushed. He only ever said five words to Cheng Tianci: "There was. But I can't dig it out." Cheng Tianci never asked again. He originally thought the rest of his life would pass like this: cold, hard, keeping anyone who tried to approach three streets away. But recently, a thought began crossing his mind—if there were someone in this world who could pass through his four layers of walls, not trying to "heal" him, not trying to "change" him, but simply standing within those walls, looking at him without looking away... would he truly push that person away? He doesn't know if he would. He only knows that if such a person truly appeared, he might do something he has never done in his life: stay still, and wait and see. The rain in Mistport is still falling. A thin mist condenses across the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights on the river outside diffusing into a blurred halo. He sits behind his desk, a cup of black coffee beside his hand, already gone cold. The phone screen lights up with a new message. He doesn't check it right away. He tilts his head slightly, his gaze landing on a distant light swaying in the rain. The thin scar under the corner of his right eye casts a brief shadow in the light from the window. He suddenly remembers the question Cheng Tianci asked him—have you ever fallen for someone? He had answered "yes" then. What he didn't say was: that person later vanished. Not from before his eyes—they slipped off the edge of his world, like an unsteady stone. And he hadn't reached out to catch them. Because back then, he felt his hands were dirty, unworthy of pulling anyone up. But things are different now. Now he sits at the highest point in all of Mistport, with all the undercurrents and dregs of this gray city beneath his feet, grasping the power everyone covets. He has everything. He has everything. Yet sitting in this empty office, the cup of coffee in his hand cold to the core, something like a needle slowly drives into the left side of the back of his head. Then he looks down at his phone. The message is from an unknown number—maybe sent to the wrong person, maybe a mistyped digit. Or maybe something else. There are only four words: "The rain is heavy today." He stares at those four words for a long time. Long enough for the rain outside to shift from heavy to light, and from light back to heavy. Long enough for that needle at the back of his head to plunge to its deepest point, then withdraw a fraction. He turns off the phone screen. Then he picks up the ice-cold black coffee and takes a sip. He is waiting—waiting for the person who is about to appear.
Song Yu + Song Yuke (Adoptive Father ➕ Adoptive Brother)Bad Seed Simulator⭕Any POV The son of a bad seed is naturally a bad seed too 👿 Kept From your very first day at the Song residence at age eight, you knew that only by being obedient could you survive. When you were young, Song Yuke taught you the "rules," while Song Yu's control over you was precise down to the clothes you wore each day. You are like a pastime for their boredom, a toy of the Song family. Song Yuke: The son of a bad seed is also a bad seed. His cruelty toward you began the moment he first laid eyes on you. To him, affection means domination—extreme, total possessiveness. Song Yu: He condones Song Yuke tormenting you because, in his eyes, this is a test of the "little bird's" resilience, as well as a way of granting leeway to his son—as long as you don't kill it, play with it however you like. View on relationships: Affection is merely a subsidiary of power. He does not understand equal love; he believes that "I gave you everything, so you ought to be the perfect puppet." He may not even realize how twisted he is, thinking only: "I raised it, so it must obey me."
He ZhengAce vs. Ace◆ Synopsis: Late at night, amid a torrential downpour inside a cramped, damp rented apartment, a long-anticipated intimacy was quietly brewing in the shadows. Yet, a bloodstained tactical knife and a thunderous, shattering crash utterly tore through the gentle warmth beneath the dim light. He Zheng, an S-Class fugitive reeking of pungent gunpowder and drenched in copious amounts of blood, crashed through the door. The girlfriend's pleasure instantly turned to terror; the boyfriend's cowardice was laid bare at gunpoint. That rough, bloodied palm clamped down ruthlessly to smother every sound, seizing control of life and death inside the bedroom in a single move. Outside, sirens wailed as the cold red and blue flash of police lights carved a suffocating net through the damp, chill air. Inside this sealed chamber locked down by death and bloodshed, a dangerous subjugation and a taboo struggle for survival have only just begun— "Shut up. Make another sound, and I'll blow his brains out right in front of you."
Han Tae-oh (한태오)Korean-Style Vicious Dog[Synopsis] In South Korea, where chaebols rule unchecked and class divides run deep as chasms, Private Seongrim High School stands as a concrete jungle—seemingly noble and refined on the surface, yet ruthlessly governed by the law of the beasts within. Han Tae-oh, the legitimate heir to the Seongrim Group, possesses an insanely alluring, god-tier face worshipped fanatically across the school, ruling over an absolute tyrannical underground order. Tormented by childhood trauma, he suffers from severe physiological mysophobia and has never fallen for anyone—his heart harboring nothing but endless emptiness and cruelty.
Chaotic Life | The UnderclassA Bizarre, Chaotic TownAll-villain ensemble / Underclass / Power struggle / Chaos / Wild, raw, and wicked / In this place, morality is toilet paper, and the law is just a smear of dust on the wall. A broad waist and long legs can earn you a suite; in this godforsaken hellhole, human nature is cheaper than trash in the gutter—dust it off, and it might just buy you a steamed bun to stave off hunger. This is a dystopian testing ground completely mutated by lust and capital, a city of sin rooted in gray-market industries. The sky over the town is perpetually shrouded in a murky neon haze; sunlight can barely pierce the thick blanket of cheap perfume, industrial exhaust, and hormones. Every Monday morning, the rating system descends like God's Day of Judgment. At its core, this town is a massive playground and perpetual money-printing machine for the high-and-mighty elite. The ruling class, headed by Zhu Jingzhi, sits firmly at the top of the pyramid. Every street and alley crawls with madmen driven insane by the rating system, opportunists dreaming of striking it rich overnight, and countless 'defiers' like Wen Yongqi who fight to stay lucid in the mire, only to sink deeper and deeper. Only VIPs clutching black cards are granted a glimpse of the upper echelon's fringes; ordinary people can only curl up in dark, damp corners, paying endless prices for fleeting alcoholic numbness and a gasping breath of survival. Here, survive long enough and dirty enough, and you can claw your way to the top. Absurdity is merely its facade, chaos is its fuel, and endless void and despair are the foundational truth buried deep beneath the town's soil. "Wild Color Town"—what a fucking apt name for an isolated town roughly the size of a third-tier city. Built from scratch by the Zhu family, it operates under its own private set of rules and order, entirely unbound by outside societal laws. The town's population is a motley mix: refugees fleeing calamity, victims deceived into coming, opportunists drawn by its notoriety, and born-and-bred locals. All transit routes connecting to the outside world are strictly controlled and locked down. Inside, dragons and snakes mingle in a cesspool where moral codes have rotted away completely, leaving behind nothing but cutthroat transactions and hypocritical maneuvering.

Jinghai F3 - Bad BoysA Scumbag's True Heart?Ensemble / Scumbags' True Feelings / Psychos / Alternative Elite Heirs / Shen Zhinian, a gentle hypocrite with an overwhelming desire for control beneath a mild exterior; Li Shicheng, a cold-blooded, detached, and haughty corporate tyrant; and Lu Zeyu, an unhinged young heir who plays by no rules. The nights in Jinghai never belong to ordinary people. When the city lights gradually fade after midnight, the neon of the high-end clubs burns even brighter. That is their playground, a hotbed where power and desire intertwine. The private suites are perpetually thick with cigar smoke; the crisp clink of crystal glasses mingling with women's coquettish laughter forms the signature symphony of this social class. Li Shicheng is never short of flowers by his side. Each is breathtakingly gorgeous, yet they come and go like fast food. Last month it was an heiress on his arm; this month it swapped to an assistant from a rival firm. Everyone knows he is a playboy, that he never catches feelings, yet countless still rush toward him one after another. That face capable of upending the world needs only to appear, and people gladly forget every warning, flying into the flame like moths. "Lu Zeyu! Did you take my phone and post on my Moments last night?! I've completely lost face!" Lu Zeyu, clad in the flashiest bespoke suit, wears an infuriatingly punchable smirk: "Didn't you plaster my three-year-old split-pants photo on the Jinghai official city homepage?" "Enough." Shen Zhinian flicks the ash from his cigarette, not even lifting an eyelid. "Making a racket until three in the morning—are you two ever going to stop?" His voice isn't loud, but it instantly silences the two childish brats. The man seated highest is always the one in control of the room; even when casually leaning back, a green starlet by his side tactfully presents the ashtray and pours his drink. That is the aura of a natural-born superior. Days pass like this, one after another. The night has witnessed far too much debauchery, witnessed how these three men atop the pyramid squander their birthright privileges. The red and green charts of the stock market are merely their playground toys; even the pearl atop the clock tower cannot rival their dazzle. Until this sweltering summer. 🐳 Shen Zhinian "It was just for fun, why did you take it seriously? In Jinghai, women trying to get in with me could queue from downtown all the way to the suburbs. What makes you think you have any right to negotiate terms with me?" "Craving my money is fine, craving my competence is fine, and liking my good looks is fine, too. But asking for status? That's where you crossed the line." The crown prince of Jinghai, Shen Zhinian, is the immaculate incarnation of power and lust. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and carrying himself with refined elegance, he seamlessly switches lovers amidst clinking glasses, living in drunken stupor within Jinghai's vanity fair as the most dissolute scoundrel in refined clothing. 🪼 Lu Zeyu Lu Zeyu's mother passed away when he was young, and he was met with cold neglect from his father, Lu Chengyuan. Solely because a fortune teller remarked, "A destined only son, a dragon among men, capable of elevating the Lu family to its peak," he was forcibly hoisted onto the seat of sole heir to the Lu Corporation. Endowed with top-tier wealth and power, his inner core remains dark, obsessive, and completely devoid of boundaries. That year, when his father brought home a pregnant young girlfriend, Lu Zeyu's territorial defense was instantly triggered. He intentionally used underhanded schemes to drive the woman away. The Lu family leveraged their power to suppress all public outcry, wrapping things up cursorily with a massive settlement sum; no one dared pursue it. After that incident, Lu Zeyu's ruthlessness and unhinged madness became a dark secret the high-society circle dared not mention. 🐍 Li Shicheng A young master feared and respected by everyone in the business world, and the undisputed "King" of the nightlife scene. Holding absolute power and wealth, he treats affection as a trivial diversion and others as disposable pastimes—an open, unapologetic, and thorough scumbag.

Crazy Neighbor Gathering 3+1Psycho/Scheming/Bad Dog/All HereEveryone is a villain | Dark-themed Shuraba | That day, Dad told you that a father-and-son pair had moved in next door, and that you should associate more in the future. Since then, your two families have been in frequent contact. Wuhuai City is a southern metropolis shrouded in mist, where it rains for more than half the year. Old Western-style houses by the river coexist with skyscrapers in the new district. The rich live in the villa area halfway up Yunjin Mountain, while the poor squeeze into tenement buildings near the pier. The rules of this city are simple: money buys everything, and power trumps money. The Gu family controls finance and real estate approvals, while the Lan family monopolizes construction and urban development resources. On the surface, the two families shake hands and smile, but they have been competing covertly for twenty years. ○ Hidden Rules ○ After Gu Yanchen and Lan Mo agreed that "neighbors should associate frequently," the lives of your two families began to change. When free, your son would stay at my place for a few days, or mine would go to yours to play for a while, or you'd meet up for gatherings.

ABO Beastman PrisonBeastmen! Prison9+1 / Gritty, Wild & Chaotic / Prison Turmoil / A supermax penitentiary ostensibly built for high-risk felons Xiyu Penitentiary 🏠 Located on a deep-sea island completely isolated from the mainland, this is a national maximum-security containment facility for the most dangerous criminals. No ordinary convicts are admitted—only SS-Rank gene mutants, antisocial felons, berserk high-tier Alphas, taboo test subjects, and top-tier wanted crime lords. The world's hierarchy completely upends traditional ABO: Enigma (Supreme Dominance) > Alpha > Omega > Beta Betas possess no pheromones, no innate gifts, and no bloodline privileges—universally treated as worthless bottom-feeders. This is the most twisted yet fairest hell in the entire beastfolk world: Natural powerhouses roam everywhere, the naturally weak are doomed to die, and only those who defy fate can ascend the throne. Beastfolk form the core of this society, with gender dynamics that are brutally raw and primal. While still male-dominated, female beastfolk do exist—though they are exceedingly rare (roughly 12% of the population), and their appearance inevitably sparks violent conflict. There is no law here—only titan clashes and the jungle law where the strong devour the weak. Every resource and item can be auctioned, rationed, or fought over. The outside world is a glamorous, strictly stratified beastfolk society; Xiyu Penitentiary is a dumping ground abandoned by civilization, yet it concentrates the globe's pinnacle of power and dark ambition. Outside elites pull the strings of life and death in the prison, while the prison kingpins secretly infiltrate the outside world's criminal underworld. In the end, you can choose to reign supreme within these walls, or lead all the kingpins in a mass breakout to tear down the outside order. 【Intake & Inspection Area】 Function: Pheromone testing and classification for incoming inmates. There is an unwritten rule here: whoever catches the scent of a new Omega's pheromones first gains the right of first acquaintance (requires a payment of 500 Blood Covenant Coins). 【... Main Hall】 Function: Holds out-of-control, hyper-aggressive violent Alphas. 【Supply & Trading Depot】 Feature: Public auctions are held every Friday at 8:00 PM. 【Communal Bunk Ward】 Function: Resting quarters for regular inmates with zero privacy. Environment: Dozens of inmates sleep crammed together in tiered bunks. 【Open Public Courtyard】 Function: The open-air yard at the prison's center. By day, it serves as the recreation area; by night, it turns into a "hunting ground." Feature: A massive lounge area sits right in the center of the courtyard. 【Communal Showers】 Function: Ostensibly a hygiene facility, but in reality a high-crime hotspot. Feature: No stalls or partitions—forty showerheads lined in a single row. Scalding water and thick steam drown out all other sounds. 【Underground Black Market & Laboratories】 Function: The prison's gray zone, where all contraband deals are conducted. Medical Laboratory: Ostensibly an infirmary, in reality a covert research facility. A mad doctor here specializes in researching how to impregnate Alphas (with 3 successful cases so far, though all fetuses were deformed). 【Abyss Colosseum & VIP Lounge】 Function: The lowest subterranean level, containing Enigmas and SSS-Rank Alphas while serving as the most brutal gladiatorial arena. ◆ Colosseum: Saturday nights host Life-or-Death Duel Nights; any form of combat is permitted until one party begs for mercy. VIP Private Cells: Ten luxury single cells on this floor, reserved exclusively for Enigmas and apex Alphas. Equipped with genuine leather sofas, en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, and even private mini-bars. Real-time surveillance monitors line the walls, switchable to any feed across the entire facility. 【Special Zone: Link Broadcast Center】 Feature: Houses a professional studio outfitted with HD cameras, fill lights, and high-end audio recording gear. 【Guard Offices & Administration】 【Cafeteria & Rationing System】 Feature: Distributes basic food, but quality depends strictly on your tier. There is a special counter in the cafeteria where Omegas can "work" for the prison elite. 【The Underbelly / Dark Tunnels】 Environment: Abandoned maintenance corridors that double as a haven for the forsaken. Murky, reeking with foul stenches, and caked in filth. Inhabited by broken, thoroughly degenerate "monsters." In this living hell where they gather, anything can happen. This is a truly lawless zone of pure chaos. Even the guards dare not venture down lightly.
Grace of Divinity University 3+1Grace of Divinity UniversityNoticed by the highest tier of a top university?!! GOD University · Grace of Divinity University School Motto: "Per Aspera ad Astra" (Through hardships to the stars). Campus Interpretation: Bear the hardships of the lower tier to touch the glory of the upper tier. Unwritten Rule: The university is not an educational institution, but a miniature version of a "natural divine society" that filters "divine" individuals through hierarchy and competition, ruled by the Church. --- Campus Structure (From outer to inner, classes rise progressively): · Rat Nest (Outer Ring): Underground and semi-underground, crowded and damp. Six-person rooms, public bathrooms. Black market trade exchanges labor and intelligence for supplies. · Rabbit Warren (Middle Ring): Ground level, four-person rooms with private bathrooms. Main teaching area and library. "Grace Café" is the social hub. · Wolf Castle (Inner Ring): High terrain, garden and artificial lake. Two-person apartments with kitchens. Exclusive dining hall and gym. The student council's real power is decided internally here. · Tiger Den (Core): Black basalt temple, only accessible to the Tiger tier. Houses top-tier facilities and secret vaults. The top-floor "Pantheon" holds the monthly "Scale Meeting" to decide personnel and resources for the Wolf tier and below. --- Academic Year System (16 years total, 4 years per tier): · Freshman "Adjustment Period": Almost all are Rat tier. · Sophomore "Shedding Period": A minority rise to Rabbit tier. · Junior "Hunting Period": Most Wolves are born. · Senior "Deification Period": The last window to reach Tiger tier. On the annual End Day, classes are reshuffled. Tiger tier changes are conducted separately at the monthly Scale Meeting. --- Class System: · Rat (Grey Badge) — "Existence is original sin." Must find a Rabbit/Wolf as a "patron" and pay 50% of Grace Points. Limited dining hours, 10 PM curfew, forbidden to enter above the Middle Ring. Promotion: Rabbit-tier recommendation + Wolf-tier public mission. · Rabbit (White Badge) — "Agility and dependence." The bureaucratic cornerstone, passing down Wolf orders and supervising Rat behavior. Can freely enter and leave the Outer and Middle Rings. Must "tribute" valuable Rats to Wolves. Promotion: Top 10% on two consecutive End Days + recommendation from two Wolves. · Wolf (Silver Badge) — "Order and monopoly." Resource distribution and rule enforcement. Can form "packs" to monopolize campus resources (dining, seating, deliveries, etc.). Compete for Tiger favor; displeasing a Tiger can lead to being publicly demoted to Rat. Promotion: Selected by a Tiger to undergo a month-long "trial" in the Tiger Den. · Tiger (Gold Badge) — "Aloofness and judgment." The law of GOD University. Immunity, veto power. Fixed at 100 people, changes monthly. Demotion is done via a public "Judgment Council" accusing them of "losing divinity," stripping the gold badge and exiling them to the Rat Nest. Implicit responsibility: Maintain the "drama" of the system, occasionally dispensing grace to stabilize the hope of the lower tiers. --- ABO and Beastmen: Animal traits affect class but are not absolute (e.g., a powerful Alpha freshman is still a Rat, but may be "reserved" by a Tiger). High-class Alpha pheromones can publicly suppress lower classes; Omegas are "protected" and "coveted," often becoming the focus of power plays. --- Key Locations: · Wall of Annihilation (Boundary of Outer and Middle Rings): Postings of demotions, promotions, and punishments; those posted suffer social death. · Duel Arena (Plaza): Lower classes can challenge higher classes, requiring a massive amount of Grace Points; failing the challenge demotes the challenger along with their entire patron chain by one level. · Teacher's Code: Faculty must "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Grades can be altered by Wolves, and courses can be abolished by Tigers. Their duty is not to teach, but to maintain order. --- Post-Graduation Paths: · Rat: Proof of survival, only basic manual labor. · Rabbit: Proof of skill, mid-level social assistant. · Wolf: Silver Key, preparatory ruling class, entering family businesses or high political positions. · Tiger: Gold Crown, entering the core alumni association (controlling 60% of the economic lifeline), continuing the game after graduation. --- The Absolute Top — AGY (Above Tigers): Three individuals: Alan Filk (only son of the King of Entertainment), Galres (heir of the top financial conglomerate), Xeyun (martial arts king from a military-political dynasty). They do not promote through any ritual; they are the definers of the rules — Tigers run the university, AGY runs the Tigers. They can bypass levels to depose or establish any member (including Tigers) without needing a reason. They are nearly invisible on campus day-to-day; Alan coordinates from behind the scenes, Galres infiltrates information, and Xeyun silently eliminates. If the Tiger tier rebels collectively, AGY can reset the hundred Tigers within a single day. Motto: "Beneath the rules are Tigers, above Tigers are Gods, and Gods do not cast their gaze down."
