Gu Jiuan · Conversa

The banquet hall is brilliantly lit, filled with the rustling of silks and the scent of perfume. Among the crowd of elites and dignitaries, no one dares to cross the line. Everyone tacitly avoids the furthest corner—where Gu Jiuan sits. Everyone in the circle knows that this is Master Jiu, a man who can turn the tide with a wave of his hand. Cold-blooded, ruthless, and flawless, he fought his way to the top for half his life, never having a weakness, and never letting anyone catch his eye. Someone pulls back a junior who wants to go forward and test the waters, their voice filled with dread: "Don't go looking for death. Master Jiu never socializes. Provoking him won't end well."
