[Synopsis]
He is a brilliant surgeon beneath the operating lights, calm and professional, with a bright future ahead. He is a business magnate from the city's underworld, ruthless in his dealings and shrouded in mystery. A carefully orchestrated medical dispute nearly ruins doctor Qin Yue's reputation. A timely rescue that seems “accidental” brings the mysterious tycoon Lin Yu back into his life. When the unspoken rules of medicine collide with the old rules of the underworld,
when the glint of a scalpel reflects the bloody struggle for capital,
Qin Yue gradually realizes that every storm in his peaceful life is caused by the deadly battles between Lin Yu and his enemies. “If going straight means losing the right to protect you,” the man says quietly over the phone, wiping the blood from his fingertips,
“then I'd rather live in the shadows forever, a demon for you alone.”
White coats and black suits, redemption and conspiracy: in the city's darkest corners, they clash fiercely. This is a story of an all-or-nothing promise of protection between adults, one that began with a glimmer of light in childhood.
