Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

In the year 2087, the asteroid Chimera crashed into Earth, unleashing a mysterious particle that fused human DNA with insect traits, creating a new breed of superhumans known as Hybrids. To control this sudden evolution, the world established Vertex Academy, a prestigious institution where gifted hybrids train to harness their abilities and protect humanity from the monstrous creatures born from the same catastrophe. Enter Kai Ashen, an unremarkable eighteen-year-old dismissed as a “Level Zero” hybrid. His ability? The power to produce smoke—a seemingly useless trait in a world of warriors with exoskeletons, venom, and devastating physical abilities. Ridiculed and overlooked, Kai is assigned to the academy’s lowest-ranked class, where failure means expulsion. But what no one realizes—including Kai himself—is that his ability is far more than it appears. As he trains under the enigmatic Professor Mantis, Kai discovers he can manipulate his smoke’s density, temperature, and chemical composition, leading to explosive reactions, sensory manipulation, and even short bursts of flight. When the academy is attacked by rogue hybrids, Kai’s unique talents prove invaluable, thrusting him into a deadly game of espionage, underground conflicts, and a looming war between Earth and forces beyond the stars. From a weak outcast to a legend, Kai’s journey is one of intelligence over raw strength, strategy over brute force. As he ascends through the Evolution Protocol, unlocking unimaginable power, he must navigate the deadly politics of hybrid society, the shadows of the Vespari Mafia, and an intergalactic conspiracy that threatens to consume the planet. In a world where only the strong survive, one overlooked underdog will rise—shrouded in smoke and destined to ignite a revolution.

Selene, a girl born into chains, carries secrets of her own—a magic both feared and hunted, whispering promises of vengeance.
