The Labyrinth [Mystery]

[Don't Read]

Younger mercenary

Meeting Bai Feng.

Three peaceful years in Havana are shattered in an instant.

The relentless assassin has appeared again.

[One] Miami.

Under crimson lights, Lu Yu drinks in a corner until his face is contorted. Silent and taciturn, he wears a limited-edition watch that costs as much as a supercar. His hair falls low, obscuring most of his handsome face.

Lu Yu gets up and staggers into a salsa dance, while the girls nearby join in.

Suddenly, a commotion ripples through the crowd. Looking over, he sees a young Asian man cornered by several burly men.

They speak some incomprehensible gibberish, punching and hitting him from time to time.

The young man looks terrified, swaying with bizarre movements.

Someone must have given him something foul.

[Two] Havana.

Bai Feng's eyes brim with murderous intent. He folds his arms and lowers his voice. "If you want to return to that person's world, you can only use this girl. I came up with the plan long ago. Doesn't asking that make you look a little stupid?"

At least he has no memories of me.

[Three]

"Bai Feng, do you remember how we drifted on that ocean freighter for half a month?"

"No."

"You jumped into the sea to chase that speedboat, then lost contact with me and had to hold on to a corpse until dawn. Do you remember?"

"No." He paused, then added, "You have plenty of time to tell me about the past."

1. Multiple POVs, lots of internal monologue, dark themes.

2. The love interest has had two fiancées.

5. Plot-driven, with romance as mere window dressing.

6. Written while drunk. Please don't read.

7. Written before signing a contract. The prose is really bad, so don't read it. *, *

Theme: Mystery and deduction, sweet and angsty, happy ending.
