"Because he once saved you,you couldn't let him fall"
Introduction:
The world still believes he's the same hero. The one who saved them all, the unbroken figure in white, the ever-smiling Nice.
He walks the streets like he owns them. His grin unchanged, his presence as reassuring as ever. To everyone, he is still the man they once admired. Their symbol of hope. Their unwavering champion.
But the truth lies hidden, known only by one.
Y/N.
She watches from the shadows, quietly observing as the world continues to worship a version of Nice that isn't the real man. The one who made the ultimate choice to disappear from their lives.
The man everyone believes to be Nice is actually Lin Ling, a perfect replica, well-trained and indistinguishable in every way. He plays his role with precision mimicking every detail of the original. His smile. His gestures. His words. No one questions it. No one sees the difference.
Except Y/N.
She doesn't speak. She doesn't intervene. Instead, she waits, knowing what others can't see. Because she was there on the day the real Nice made his final choice.
The day he died.
A tragic end for the hero who had given everything. But Y/N knew the truth. She saw it. The jump wasn't to death. It was a leap into freedom. A decision to break free from the chains of expectation, to shed the skin of a hero and become someone entirely new.
The world never knew. That Nice died and only Lin ling and Miss J, along with other workers did,tried to defy the events by replacing Nice with another one that was like him. But the truth?
Nice wasn't dead.
He was alive. Fully well. Roaming freely. And Y/N is the only one who knows.
As she stands in the shadows, a faint smile crosses her face. Her eyes meet the fake Nice standing amongst the crowd of reporters on the streets as he once again saved a person's life, carrying on the charade. It's a performance, a well-rehearsed act.
But she knows the truth.

All That's Left Is An Unspoken Word
I long for his hand. I crave his scent and body. Even so, I know, that his warmth is beyond my reach. The man I longed for, vanished into thin air. Leaving me with tears unshed, and words unspoken. My memories of him are drifting from my grasp and control. No longer do I remember his voice, laughter, and his teeth-bearing smile. The tenderness he showed me, that I never once deserved. I tried to collect those memories dispersing silently into the distance. But I could not even reach my back to gnaw at the scars that were one of the almost nothing, you left me with. They called me the hero, and you the villain. However, I was selfish and you were selfless. But no matter how selfless a person could be, there is always someone they'd neglect... and I could've only wished it wasn't me that you did. You didn't even glance at me, as you walked that path straight ahead. You had sacrificed your own life, leaving me kneeling before the nothingness you left me to grieve on. I'm selfish because I want you, back to the world that loathed you, that hurt you, tortured, and slaughtered you. Just for me, for my undying desperation for your affection. Selfish, for I want you to fill in the void that was left with my desires, devotion, and never-ending love for you that not once you ever saw... If you won't hate the world, my hatred has already gone beyond all of the universe. I am disappointed in myself, for ever making you think that I despised you. But I can't blame you. It was my mistake... so Wei Ying, I'm bent on my knees begging, "Come back to Gusu with me, 'to me' please...?"

The Lust Suite
They'd seen men like him before- pretty face, pretty lies, even prettier exit wounds. He came out of nowhere. No name. No roots. No past anyone could trace. Just a trail of broken hearts, emptied bank accounts, and champagne-stained whispers. No one knew what he wanted. But everyone knew: he always got it. When he first appeared outside Velluto, the city's most exclusive restaurant, he wasn't on the guest list. He didn't need to be. His presence alone demanded attention. Slim figure wrapped in soft silk, a gaze like slow poison-calculated, cold, impossible to ignore. That night, Yin Anon Wong, the youngest CEO in corporate history, stepped out of a car worth more than most houses. Sharp suit. Dead stare. A man with empires under his name-and blood under his fingernails. He didn't believe in distractions. But somehow, he looked. And the man he looked at? Smiled. It was supposed to end there. But it didn't. Yin fell first. Or maybe he was made to. No one could tell with War- not until it was already too late. But what no one predicted... was that Davien Wong, Yin's father, the real power in the shadows, had seen it all. And he wasn't one to lose what he wanted. Now, caught between father and son, desire and deception, War walks a razor's edge- one misstep from ruin, one kiss from control. This isn't love. This is a game. And someone always pays. --- 📌 Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. All characters and events are imaginary. Please do not copy, repost, or translate without permission.
