Coming next: A Report on Strange Tales

1

Sheng Ming'an, a genius in cutting-edge technology known as the "Rose of Humanity," is bound to a System and sent back to the past, to the age of seventeen, when everyone thought he was ugly and mildly intellectually disabled.

2

The System says Chen Jingqiu is kind-faced but wicked-hearted, the most terrifying criminal genius of the past century, bar none.

But Sheng Ming'an doesn't believe the System. His impression of Chen Jingqiu is still the one everyone knew from more than a decade ago:

Chen Jingqiu is a spineless coward.

3

The person the System was originally supposed to bind to was Sheng Jiao, Sheng Ming'an's sunny and popular younger cousin.

The System says Sheng Jiao was the only person Chen Jingqiu ever loved as a boy.

Sheng Ming'an believes this without a doubt, too.

Until later, when Chen Jingqiu carefully touches the hem of his clothing with a hand wounded so deeply the bone shows, his posture utterly humble.

Sheng Ming'an finally understands. It turns out he is the one Chen Jingqiu has become obsessed with.

Theme: Eradicate organized crime.
