Synopsis

After the rain came endless helplessness. Late at night, notes of silence tapped against the tightly closed blinds as Wu Qian sank into quiet contemplation. “My friend's death has come back to haunt me like a ringing bell.”

“Is this Wu Qian? It's Xiao Ling. We haven't been in touch for ages. I've been so busy with work lately. Are you free this weekend? Let's meet. There's something I need to tell you. Let's meet outside the Chongguang Huan Center!” Xiao Ling's soft, halting voice pierced Wu Qian's heart. “Why? Why did it have to happen?” Tears welled in Wu Qian's eyes, trembling on the verge of spilling over. She remembered how happy their school days with Xiao Ling had been. They had stayed in touch, and sometimes went out to eat together. But what Wu Qian saw that day would haunt her for the rest of her life. It was Friday, and she was supposed to meet Xiao Ling on Saturday. But that Friday, Wu Qian received a text from Xiao Ling: “My heart hurts so much. I have no hope of going on living. There's nothing left in this world worth holding on to. I've decided to die!” Wu Qian hurriedly replied, urging Xiao Ling to cherish her life and never think of taking her own. She sent five messages in a row, but Xiao Ling didn't reply to any of them. Distraught with worry, Wu Qian rushed to Xiao Ling's home, only to find police cars, a cordon, and a crowd gathered before her. Two bodies lay on the ground beneath white sheets. “Xiao Ling and her child are dead. How tragic!” Wu Qian heard someone say. Her vision suddenly went dark, and it felt as if everything had collapsed. Were Xiao Ling and her child murdered, or had they taken their own lives? Rumors abounded, but no one knew this was only the beginning of a string of crimes to come.

Looking for High-Quality Stories With a Decisive, Dark, Cold, and Ruthless Protagonist

Preferably no romance, though one heroine is fine. No harems. Either the male or female lead’s perspective works. No do-gooders. I want something satisfying, like Rewriting the World: Starting as a Villain, Replica Mirror, or Mysterious Space. And finally, Illusionist is the GOAT!!!

A Cold, Taciturn Male Lead Who Acts Decisively

I want the kind of protagonist who dislikes showing off but is always mistaken for someone who is showing off, and there must be a romantic pairing. As for his coldness toward women, it should be on the level of the protagonist in Sword God of Shura. I refuse to believe you can find a book like this.
