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. 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.

When private detective Lin Feng was entrusted by a mysterious woman to investigate a corruption case involving a high-ranking official, he unexpectedly obtained an ancient jade bracelet engraved with a red serpentine pattern. The jade bracelet triggered supernatural phenomena such as abnormal communication equipment and memory hallucinations. As the case progressed, it was discovered that the client, Tang Meili, was actually a soul that had been dead for many years, using the body of a living person for revenge. The investigation clues eventually pointed to the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, revealing that the jade bracelet was originally a "lost soul guide" required for the reincarnation ceremony, which needed to be combined with the life stone pillar on the altar on the night of the full moon to complete the soul's resurrection.The story interweaves subplots such as the emotional entanglement between private detective Lin Feng and jade collector Chen Fei, and presents a dual narrative of real estate asset investigation and ancient tomb exploration through chapters like "The Crowded Empty Elevator" and "An Ancient Jade". The core contradiction focuses on the temporal and spatial interweaving of modern crimes and ancient secret arts. Archaeological elements such as jade bracelets and altars form a double suspenseful tension with corruption cases.

In a world where emotion fuels destruction, the greatest threat isn’t what people do—it’s what they don’t. Drive is the volatile energy born from resisting your own instincts. Repressed rage. Swallowed fear. Suppressed guilt. Most people leak it. Others wield it. And when too much builds up, it doesn’t vanish—it festers. The result? Hollows—mindless entities formed from humanity’s buried urges. They haunt the streets, feeding on tension, grief, and silence. At the center of it all is the Core Authority—a broken institution that recruits emotionally unstable teens to contain what adults caused and can't control. Failing is death. Succeeding means losing yourself anyway. In this system, being strong means being unwell—and surviving means never being whole again.
