Armor Hero: After Signing the Overlord Contract, I No Longer Believe in the Light

[Armor Hero 1 + Behind-the-scenes power plays + Mystery and the supernatural] Lin Yu transmigrates as the son of D City's richest man. He doesn't wear armor or fight supernatural beasts. He sets the rules, draws the game board, and manages the ledgers. Relying on connections, information asymmetry, and analytical skill, he turns the battlefield into a chessboard. Someone in the morgue's cold storage refuses to wake. Something in the depths of an abandoned well has been painted over and concealed. A name has been scraped off an issue form. The shadows in this city are quieter than supernatural beasts, and far more dangerous. Meizhen presses down on her authorization badge. "Just how far are you trying to push us?" "Forward. You protect the city. I'll make sure this battle isn't won by passion alone." [What to expect] A true behind-the-scenes protagonist: he stays out of the action, never transforms or fights. He turns the tables with funding, authorization, and chains of evidence. A slow-burn mystery: old copper rivets, radiation-proof coatings, and a name that has been missing for thirty years. The evidence fits together piece by piece, with no System spoon-feeding him answers. The harem isn't the main attraction: the female characters each have their own professions and identities. Everyone keeps things restrained and knows their boundaries. No throwing themselves at him, no fighting over him. Not for you if: readers looking for a transformation-driven, face-slapping power fantasy should give this one a pass. [The main villain, the mysteries, and the financial maneuvering all begin in earnest in Chapter 34. For a quick start to the main storyline, begin with Chapter 34.]
