Lan Ming'an has never known the love everyone talks about. Abandoned by her biological parents at four and losing her older brother at seven, she gave up hope for the future. She doesn't understand why, as a musical prodigy, a business genius, and a dynamite expert, she has mismatched eyes. At seventeen, she wields immense power and becomes the young leader of the Nightfall Organization, which dominates one corner of the world. But who knows how much she has suffered behind all that glory?
Before she was seven, her brother and adoptive mother were her only reasons to keep living. After she turned seven, avenging her brother was the only thing keeping her going. Yet even as she pursued revenge, she longed desperately for a family.
A hazy veil of smoke surrounds her. One cigarette after another grows shorter in her hand, then finally falls to the ground and becomes a butt. She stands, steps on it, and leaves behind a black mark and a flattened cigarette butt.
Before meeting them, she had no hope for the future. The only trace of warmth from her adoptive mother was what kept her going...
