Ian Rankin Crime

Contract Marriage with My Secret Partner in 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. 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. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. 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.

First crime record

Protagonist: Huang Zhong: Male, 17 years old at the beginning of the story, in the critical period of youth rebellion. He is thin, with slightly messy short hair, and his eyes are often stubborn and confused. Because he grew up in a repressive family environment for a long time, he is sensitive and has a strong self-esteem. He usually wears simple T-shirts and jeans, and there are occasionally some stains on his clothes, which is a small portrayal of his unruly life. He lives with his parents in a residential building in an old community. The small and dim room carries his countless sleepless nights. The walls of the room are covered with posters of his favorite rock bands, which is his yearning for freedom. Key characters: Father: Male, in his forties, an ordinary factory worker, busy all day for the family's livelihood. Long-term fatigue makes him slightly hunched, and his face is full of traces of time. He is not good at speaking and has serious communication barriers with Huang Zhong. When Huang Zhong rebels and makes mistakes, he always treats him in a simple and rough way, which also deepens the gap between father and son. Mother: Female, also in her forties, is an ordinary housewife with a gentle but somewhat cowardly personality. Faced with the conflict between her husband and son, she often feels powerless and can only cry secretly. She always manages the big and small affairs of the family, trying to maintain this shaky home with silent efforts. Best friend: Male, about the same age as Huang Zhong, a boy with a generous personality and a strong sense of friendship. He is tall and strong, with two deep dimples when he smiles, giving people a sunny and cheerful feeling. He and Huang Zhong met on the street and experienced many rebellious days together. When Huang Zhong was in danger, he always stood up without hesitation. The injury that time to protect Huang Zhong became an important opportunity for Huang Zhong's life transformation.

THE ECLIPSE LEGACY

Born in the era of Eclipse, where wild animals were no longer the greatest threat to mankind but monsters were. Creatures of nightmares roamed the land, and fear had become humanity’s constant companion. In this world, power reigned supreme, and those who wielded it commanded respect. They say that upon reaching adolescence, one has a chance but small to be chosen by the Eclipse. Awakening is unpredictable, dictated by forces beyond human control. But with modern advancements, technology has finally made a breakthrough. For those who have yet to awaken, an injection of Eclipse Essence can stimulate the process. While this increases the likelihood of awakening, it does nothing to determine the gift one receives. That remains immutable. Fate alone decides whether one rises or remains in the shadows. All one can do is pray for fortune’s favor. Ian Maverick, a boy on the cusp of adulthood, had yet to awaken. With no means to afford Eclipse Essence, he had only one option which is to rely on sheer luck. They say a strong body improves the chances of awakening. Clinging to that belief, Ian trained relentlessly, pushing his limits day and night, hoping and praying to awaken with at least an Intermediate-ranked gift. A single chance to change his fate. Will he awaken? And if he does, will he have what it takes to rise among the Eclipseborn? —---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to experience a new power system concept? If so, this novel would definitely be for you. ECLIPSE RANK SYSTEM GIFT POWER SYSTEM
