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.

Where do you work?” “What?” “Forget it. It’s not important. Do you know how to cook?” “Yeah.” “Is your cooking good?” “I guess so,” the man answers, still puzzled by her questions. “Perfect. I’m single, you’re single. Do you want to marry me?” Sienna asks boldly. “I never expected to be proposed to by a stranger all of a sudden. I don’t…” “If you’re not willing, I’ll look for someone else. No pressure.” “Who said I’m not willing? I’m more than willing,” the man replies without hesitation. And so, Sienna ends up with a husband just like that. Things take a drastic turn when Sienna discovers her real parents, leading her to unravel a conspiracy that could potentially turn her world upside down.

Antonio "Nero" Vasquez, the city's most feared and respected mafia boss, rules with an iron grip, ensuring order in a world where chaos thrives. The Blacks dominate the criminal empire, while the Greys, the desperate and the expendable, take on the city's dirtiest work. When Elias "Eli" Mercer, a low-level Grey, is framed for the murder of a made man, he becomes a hunted fugitive caught between two warring mafia families.

As gang wars threaten to erupt and a deadly assassin organization lurks in the shadows, Montrose inches closer to an all-out bloodbath. In a city where loyalty is fleeting and death is inevitable, the only rule is survival.

In his past life, he was Reynald Arkanios, a king who carried a legacy spanning generations. But now, he is merely the son of a former adventurer—without titles, without influence, and with nothing but his memories and his sword. Elian does not see the world through the lens of right and wrong. He is neither a hero seeking justice nor an anti-hero driven by revenge. He is simply someone walking his own path, unbound by laws imposed by others. His strength, his will, and a goal known only to him—these are the only things that matter. In a world filled with conspiracies, wars, and entities beyond human comprehension, will Elian reclaim his former glory? Or will this new world force him to become something even greater than he ever was? The journey of power, challenges, and breaking the norm begins now… Follow me on Instagram: mystquill_
