   Newly completed, no need to wait for the book to finish. Readers say they were immediately drawn in and addicted, but I don't know if that's true. The characters are all uniquely portrayed… Many readers have given positive feedback and requested similar novels… It gets even better as it goes on… Readers have reread it multiple times… I recommend a special one, not one of those typical ones. Friends who have read it, you won't find it disappointing; it gets more exciting as it goes on. The beginning is quite ordinary, but the later parts are full of twists and turns. No one has read it 10 times, but some online reviews say they've read it repeatedly, gaining new insights each time.

Before I could even think of an explanation, his voice boomed from the receiver: "Open the door." Late at night, he lay drunk outside the apartment door, tie ripped open, shirt ripped open, revealing his abs and V-line. His unlimited black card slipped from his pocket, but he didn't even glance at it. His phone fell to the ground, the screen lighting up—the wallpaper was my photo.
