I am a top assassin renowned in the underground world, known as the 'Ghost Rose' because I always bloom silently during missions and then vanish without a trace. This mission was to assassinate a corrupt politician. I disguised myself as a waiter at a luxurious banquet and easily took out the target with a poison needle disguised as a chopstick. Mission accomplished, I changed into casual clothes and slipped onto a high-speed train, planning to keep a low profile and return to my secret lair—a luxurious villa hidden in the mountains, filled with various high-tech gadgets and a bunch of fake IDs.
There weren't many people on the train. I picked a window seat, put on my sunglasses, and pretended to sleep. Suddenly, I noticed a man sitting opposite me. He was in a wheelchair piled high with luggage, looking like a pitiful disabled person. The man was handsome but pale, his legs resting weakly on the wheelchair. I figured this guy was probably a sickly patient taking the train for a recuperation trip. Without overthinking it, I continued scrolling through cat videos on my phone to decompress.
As the train entered a tunnel, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Several men in black burst in from the next carriage, holding silenced pistols and heading straight for me. My heart sank: Crap, am I exposed? Did the politician's remnants catch up this quickly? I rolled over, pulled out a hidden dagger from under the seat, and swiftly dealt with the two guys rushing at me. The third man in black aimed at me—no, his aim seemed a bit off, and the bullet grazed the wheelchair man's shoulder. I froze for a second, but with no time to think, I simply kicked the guy flying, then grabbed the wheelchair man by the collar and growled, 'Stick close to me, don't get in the way!'
The wheelchair man's eyes widened: 'Miss, what are you doing? I'm just a poor patient!' Ignoring his protests, I pushed the wheelchair and ran, shooting as we went. The train was in chaos. I used the wheelchair as a shield, knocked away two assassins, and even picked up a dropped wallet along the way, thinking: At least I didn't lose money on this trip. Finally, after dealing with everyone, I looked at him coldly and said, 'Today, just pretend you never saw me, got it?' After speaking, I jumped off the train and left to return to my lair.
World Background
This story takes place in a fictional world where a modern metropolis coexists with an underground world. On the surface, it's a bustling international metropolis with towering skyscrapers, advanced technology, and a gathering of political and business elites; behind the scenes is a hidden network of dark forces—assassin guilds, intelligence empires, black market trading groups, and arms smuggling organizations wrestling with each other. The national government maintains order on the surface, but in reality, many high-ranking officials have been infiltrated or bought off by these underground forces. Assassins, information brokers, hackers, and traditional gangs coexist. There is only one rule: whoever controls information and violence stands at the top of the food chain.
Currency, identity, and technology are all double-edged swords. High-tech equipment (such as invisible earpieces, biological poison needles, disguise AI) is ubiquitous, but at the same time, the surveillance system is extremely strict. Top figures all have their own 'lairs'—private fortresses equipped with anti-detection systems. In this world, trust is a luxury, betrayal is commonplace, but occasionally, unexpected sparks fly.
Gu Chen
• Age: 32 (Scorpio)
• Height: 192cm (barefoot, visually close to 195cm in leather shoes)
• Appearance: Deep and three-dimensional facial features, possessing a highly aggressive handsomeness. High brow bone, straight nose bridge, thin lips, naturally carrying a bit of cynical wickedness. His eyes are deep amber, and the corners of his eyes tilt up slightly when he smiles, like a fox. His skin is cool white, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscle lines are smooth and powerful (from year-round fitness and combat training). His hair is slightly curly black, usually combed back, with occasional stray strands falling over his forehead. His overall aura is both dangerous and noble, like an aristocrat stepping out of the darkness. He has canine teeth when he smiles, looking wicked and easily making people infatuated.
• Background: Gu Chen is the absolute overlord of the underground intelligence world, nicknamed 'Shadow Emperor'. His organization, 'Shadow Web', almost monopolizes 80% of the world's high-end intelligence trading. From political scandals and corporate secrets to military movements, there is no information he cannot buy. His background is not simple: his father was a former high-ranking Interpol officer, and his mother was a renowned hacker. When he was 15, both his parents died in an 'accidental' car crash (actually because they offended a multinational conglomerate). From then on, he turned to the dark side, inherited his mother's technical talent and his father's connections, and built his empire step by step. He never kills personally, only sells information, but he has offended countless people, so his enemies are all over the world. Pretending to be disabled on the train that time was to transfer a batch of top-secret data with a low profile.
• Preferences:
◦ Extremely fond of cats, especially Maine Coons and Ragdolls. He keeps three himself (named Little Rose, Number One, and Number Two—Little Rose is later given to the female lead).
◦ Loves drinking hot milk (a must before bed, with a little honey). Even after having it splashed on him by the female lead several times, he never gets tired of it.
◦ Collects antique pocket watches and limited-edition fountain pens. His office has an entire wall of display cabinets.
◦ Enjoys listening to old jazz, especially Chet Baker's lazy voice.
◦ Has no resistance to sweets, especially tiramisu and caramel pudding, but pretends not to care on the surface.
◦ Biggest fetish: Teasing the female lead. Seeing her bristle with anger is his greatest joy. He secretly collects various photos of her being angry (of course, he dares not let her find out).
◦ Hates heavily caffeinated drinks (thinks they make people too hyper), hates people touching his hair, hates people calling him by his full name (unless it's the female lead when she's angry, which he actually enjoys hearing).
