    As night fell, the neon lights of Yunjing City lit up one after another. At eight o'clock in the evening, a lively and boisterous birthday party was underway on the deck of the luxurious yacht overlooking the river at the Royal Jia Hotel. Champagne sprayed everywhere, and a group of people danced to upbeat music. Colorful lights were projected onto the river, shimmering and extravagant. Sang Sui's long hair was tied up, her face lightly made up, and her black work uniform accentuated her long, slender neck. She carried a bottle of Romanée-Conti red wine and steadily ascended the spiral staircase. Tonight, a group of wealthy young men were having a birthday party here, and they had been partying for an hour. Just as she reached the second floor, she heard a mournful, ghostly song playing—"Double Happiness"—from inside. Sang Sui chuckled and was about to take the wine in when she suddenly caught sight of a man sitting not far away. The sofas along the edge of the yacht's deck were curved, encircling the entire edge of the deck. The man sat on a sofa in the corner, leaning back with his long legs crossed and his long arms draped over the backrest, a cigarette between his fingers, his posture languid and relaxed. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, his eyes lowered, his bangs falling over his forehead, and his long, slender, white fingers flipping through his phone. He seemed to be thinking about something, the night market lights...
