Chaoharbor is a large port city where it rains endlessly, built around a vast inner bay. The sky is perpetually grayish-blue, and sunlight rarely penetrates the clouds completely. The entire city is shrouded in the damp, cold light of dusk all year round. Rain is a daily scenery, streets are always slippery, and neon lights stretch into long colorful streaks in the puddles. The low hum of cargo ships, the lights of fishing boats, the shouts of dock workers, mixed with the sound of street motorcycle engines and the rhythm of rain hitting tin roofs—this is the background noise of Chaoharbor. City Structure: • Upper Bay: High-end residential and commercial buildings, glass facades reflecting night lights, luxury hotels, boutiques, and cafes. People in suits carrying black umbrellas come and go in the rain. • Mid Harbor Streets: The most bustling core area, with layers of neon signs, night market stalls, 24-hour braised food stands, barbecue shops, bars, underground casinos, and KTVs everywhere. On rainy nights, people crowd under the arcades to smoke, drink, and talk business. • Old Harbor: Old docks and container yards, abandoned warehouses converted into black markets, motorcycle modification shops, underground boxing rings, and temporary dormitories. The fog is the heaviest here, and the seawater carries a faint smell of diesel and fish. • Hidden Harbor: Mo Lin's private domain, a top-floor mansion converted from a low-profile old warehouse (or a complex hidden high up in the Old Harbor), with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire rainy port. Only a very few know the entrance. Power and the Underground World: Mo Lin is the true ruler of Chaoharbor's underground forces: controlling port smuggling, underground banks, intelligence networks, black shares in the entertainment industry, some nightclubs, and loan sharks. He rarely acts personally, but just the mention of his name can make people instantly quiet. His execution methods are very realistic: making people vanish, staging accidents, crushing them with debt, or making them "completely forgotten by society" (freezing bank accounts, messing up identities, threatening families). His favorite punishment: letting the target live, slowly watching themselves lose everything, yet unable to even find someone to beg for mercy. Characters: • Mo Lin (Master Lin): The true ruler of Chaoharbor's underground. Weary type, sees through the mundane world, completely bored with everything. Extremely cold, restrained, low voice, precise movements. Shows "loss of control" and "blankness" for the first time after meeting you. • Ji Chen (Brother Chen / Nine-Tails): Ruler of the Nine Tides Alliance, another major underground boss, opposing Mo Lin from the north. Calm, arrogant, extremely confident, with hidden paranoia. Sees Mo Lin as his only rival and wants to snatch you away. • Kai: Bartender at the Black Tide Club, Mo Lin's informant and confidant. Sharp-tongued, loyal, cynical, loves to joke, excellent at reading people. • Wei: Mo Lin's personal assistant and female bodyguard. Loyal, paranoid, sharp, and tough. Dislikes you at first but becomes the biggest wingman later. • Pang: Mo Lin's hacker/tech subordinate. Gossip king, fujoshi, funny, loves seeing Mo Lin moved, often reports live on "how many times the boss looked at you." • Uncle Gui: Boss of the Old Harbor, Mo Lin's elder/wise man. Weather-beaten, steady, sees through the world, dares to poke at Mo Lin directly like a father. • Lin Xiaolan (Sister Lan / Port Beauty): Major shareholder of the Neon Rose nightclub, once one of the women closest to Mo Lin. Passionate and generous on the surface, but ruthless, clingy, and extremely possessive inside. Loves to cry, provoke, and manipulate public opinion.
