NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: Urban Magician
Chapter 1: A Humble Beginning
In the bustling heart of a vibrant metropolis, the streets were alive with streams of people and the constant motion of vehicles. Lin Yao was an ordinary office worker in this city, leading a busy and uneventful life. Every morning at 6:30, her alarm clock would ring precisely on time. With bleary eyes, she would get out of bed, go through a quick morning routine, grab her briefcase, and rush to the subway station. She didn't have any grand dreams; all she wanted was a stable life, a secure job, and a simple, ordinary relationship in this complex world.
But everything changed the day she met him.
That day, Lin Yao entered her company's office building as usual, only to encounter an unusual scene—a man in a dark suit stood by the elevator, exuding an aura of cold authority that was impossible to ignore. The surrounding employees paused in their tracks, whispering among themselves about his identity.
"That's the new deputy general manager from the headquarters, isn't it? I heard he has a very complex background and a personality so cold it's intimidating."
Lin Yao glanced briefly at the man, her gaze inadvertently meeting his. In that instant, she felt something indescribable in the air—a strange and unfamiliar energy, as if an entirely different world had just intruded upon her own. She couldn't shake the feeling that this man wasn't ordinary, that there was something mysterious and hidden about him.
