[Volume One: Chapter One – Introduction to Ghost Charm]
Ghost Charm Organization: Established two years ago, its name has become well-known in both legal and illegal circles.
This organization is neither entirely righteous nor completely evil, acting according to their preferences: “Those beneficial to me are righteous; those detrimental to me are evil; those who assist me are good; those who obstruct me are wicked.”
The organization consists entirely of women, with seven main members known as the “Seven Ghost Charm Princesses,” named after the seven colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple).
Ghost Charm is composed of one main building and six halls: Red Moon Tower, Orange Condensation Hall, Yellow Bamboo Hall, Green Mulberry Hall, Cyan Wind Hall, Blue Peak Hall, and Purple Sun Hall.

However, her inner self is passionately intense, radiating a dangerous aura.

Purple Sun Hall Master, responsible for assassinations
Purple is noble, mysterious, wise, flexible, and beneath her elegant exterior lies extraordinary cruelty.
Three young men were stunned by Leng Youlan’s words, their narrow eyes wide like mice, re-examining the girl before them.
They must not offend someone they shouldn’t provoke. She looks weak and helpless, probably encountering something distressing.
He couldn’t help but secretly laugh at his own nervousness, actually being timid before a young girl.
He hurriedly signaled to his two subordinates with his eyes; they couldn’t hesitate any longer. Today, they must definitely capture this pure, lovely girl. She was a goddess sent from heaven!
Looking at her slender, elegant figure, he was inwardly ecstatic. He mockingly said to his two subordinates, “Brothers, if we present this little girl to the boss, we’ll definitely have made a great contribution. In the future, our status in the gang will definitely improve a lot!”
“Exactly! Damn it, let’s see if Li Liu dares to mock us again!”
“Boss, we’re so lucky today!”
The three men’s laughter brazenly scattered through the air.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure not far away was watching everything, a cold smile rising on their emotionless face, a bloodthirsty gleam flashing in their eyes.
Then, the person who had just spoken signaled to the other two companions, and the three were about to grab Leng Youlan.
“Ah!” A sharp, miserable scream pierced the night sky.
Spectators on the street stood frozen in shock. Feet suspended mid-step. Half-chewed food lay quietly in gaping mouths. Accompanying lovers maintained their tender gestures, but their faces displayed an incongruously shocked expression.
The noisy marketplace instantly became eerily silent. The painful groans of the three men on the ground and the gradually receding footsteps of the boy and girl clearly drifted through the air.
No one knew how the boy had made his move, only that the three young men instantly lay on the ground.
No one knew who the couple was, only that the Bai Xiong Gang had completely disappeared by morning.
Warm sunlight filtered through the white gauze curtain, falling on the bed where an incredibly beautiful girl lay, her angelic sleeping face capable of making the world sink.
The fragrance of food permeated the room’s air. The beautiful woman who had slept soundly opened her eyes, revealing a sweet smile.
“Lei, you prepared a meal. Last night wasn’t a dream,” she whispered happily.
When Leng Youlan entered her home, she felt pain wash over her again.
“Don’t go, I don’t want to be alone anymore. Stay and keep me company, okay?” Leng Youlan quickly rushed to the doorway, calling out to the departing figure, her voice full of pleading and fear.
“Okay.”
Lei Tianyi didn’t understand why seeing this girl sad made his heart ache so much.
He wanted to give her all the world’s beauty, just to make her happy.
“Have you had enough?” He didn’t mind being admired by his woman!
“I’ve—I’ve seen enough!” She was so embarrassed! She was certain her face was as red as a traffic light.
“Babe, you are my babe, Leng Youlan is Lei Tianyi’s babe alone! Do you like it?”
“Like it, I really really like it.” Leng Youlan felt so happy, so happy.
“Mommy, do you see this? Your daughter is now so happy, you must be smiling in heaven!”
[Volume One: Chapter Four – Pain Behind the Cold Facade]
Because Lei Tianyi cooked, Leng Youlan was responsible for washing the dishes. Lei Tianyi leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching the figure busy in the kitchen. Suddenly, his gaze turned icy. Why was his babe so sad yesterday? If he found out who dared to bully her, he would definitely give them the best “gift”, just like the “gift” White Xiong received – absolute destruction.
“Yi, the dishes are done. Can we go out and play?” Leng Youlan nestled into Lei Tianyi’s embrace.
“Babe, let’s go out later. I want to ask you a few questions first, is that okay?”
“Okay!” Leng Youlan knew there were some things she must let him understand.
“Babe, why were you so sad yesterday?”
“Yesterday was my birthday and my mommy’s death anniversary, the day I hate most in the year.” It was stained with my mother’s blood, my endless tears, and my bone-deep hatred for that person.
Ironically, on the same daughter’s birthday, that man would always throw a grand birthday party for his beloved child.
“Can you tell me your story? Let’s share the burden together?”
“Mommy committed suicide when I was eight, and took another woman with her – the woman that man loved. Because of this, he hated his wife and daughter. He wanted to give everything to the child of that other woman, so…”
Lei Tianyi held the trembling body in his arms, silently providing warm support.
“After mommy died, that man drove out Li Sao, who was loyal to mommy, and me. Li Sao passed away two years ago. After that, I lived here alone.”
