Gritty Urban Crime

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through.

To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

When an overworked office drone stumbles into a dark alley, he witnesses a battle that defies all logic—and inherits a jade scroll that changes his fate forever. Ji Chen was just trying to survive the corporate grind. But when a dying cultivator hurls him the mysterious "Heavenly Tome," he finds himself hunted by a deadly organization known as the Night Owl Society. Now marked by an ancient seal, Ji Chen can see spiritual energy, sense emotions, and even wield powers once thought mythical. By day, he’s a rising star in the data analytics department. By night, he trains under a sharp-tongued female cultivator with secrets of her own. Trapped between the hidden world of cultivation and the brutal reality of the modern city, Ji Chen must awaken his true potential—or be consumed by the forces already closing in.

And now... the real game begins.
