Night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle.
The bright and luxurious hall was brilliantly lit, radiating a soft and enchanting glow.
This is the Genting Building, the most luxurious clubhouse in Harbin.
The annual Ice City Auction will be held here tonight.
Guests, dressed in elegant evening gowns, chatted quietly, their laughter mingling with the bubbles of champagne, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.
Waiters move among the guests, elegantly serving each guest a selection of fine wines, each a treasure from one of the world's top wineries.
The music was melodious, playing a classical piece with a beautiful and pleasant tune.
It's a rare sight for people in Harbin to see such a gathering of top-tier figures, as well as quite a few big names from other places.
Suddenly, a few low, light coughs sounded somewhat abruptly.
A young man wearing a white overcoat and an exquisite silver-white suit walked slowly in, surrounded by a group of people.
He had his hair neatly combed in a side parting, and his face was almost perfectly handsome.
With deep, defined features and a pair of thin-rimmed silver glasses perched on his nose, he exuded a cool and aloof air.
At the same time, there is a faint smile on his lips, which prevents people from feeling distant.
Even the moon goddess is not as beautiful as this, and the spring fairy is also formless.
His appearance was like a beam of cool, bright moonlight shining into the bright and magnificent hall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
He seemed to be in poor health; his face was pale as if he had been ill for a long time, and his slightly upturned lips were also bloodless.
But this morbid state gave him a unique and fragile beauty, as if he were a melancholy aristocrat who had stepped out of a classical oil painting, making his temperament even more noble and charming.
If one did not see it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such an unparalleled person exists in the world!
Upon seeing the newcomer, all the prominent figures stopped their conversations, put on polite and even somewhat ingratiating smiles, and stepped forward in an orderly fashion to greet him.
Even some elderly people with full heads of white hair and high positions of power would bow slightly when talking to him as a sign of respect.
Some newcomers were astonished and looked on in disbelief when they saw this.
These tycoons, whose mere presence can shake the city, are all figures of immeasurable wealth and have long held high positions.
When have I ever seen them bow and scrape so low?
Before the incomparably noble young man had completely gone away, some whispered discussions broke out uncontrollably.
"Who is this person? He seems to be someone of great importance!"
"A sickly immortal in the mortal realm, a jade-faced blood-soaked demon. Master Xiao Wujie! If you don't even know this one, you've truly wasted your life!"
"Who is this person? They look so young, how come they have such a presence?"
"The younger brother adopted by Miss Chu Liyue of the capital city, he controls all the businesses and influence of the Chu family in Bingcheng. On the surface, he is incomparably handsome and gentle, but in reality, he is ruthless and unpredictable. No one in Bingcheng does not respect him."
"This is terrifying... But he seems to be unwell, could he be after that potion?"
"It is said that he was poisoned and will not live much longer. He is probably after that medicine."
Inside the luxurious private room upstairs
Xiao Wujie was lounging on the luxurious sofa with his legs crossed, waiting for the auction to begin.
He possessed extraordinary abilities, including an amazing hearing ability. He could hear some of the conversations downstairs, but he just smiled at them.
They say he is a legend of this ice city.
That's right, but strictly speaking, he could even be considered a legend in this world.
Because he was the creator of this world!
This world is the setting of a female-oriented novel called "Liyue," and he is the author of that book.
The female protagonist in the book is named Chu Liyue, and the male protagonist is Xiao Wujie.
The female protagonist, Chu Liyue, is cold, beautiful, and charming, with unparalleled elegance. She wears multiple disguises and is the destined female protagonist of this book, and will also become the biggest boss in the book.
Chu Liyue was born into a prestigious family and possessed extraordinary talent, so her family placed high hopes on her. As a result, she was sent away from the family at a young age and subjected to inhuman training, which forged her arrogant, cold, and ruthless personality.
If there is anyone in this world who can capture her heart, it is none other than the male protagonist, Xiao Wujie.
Xiao Wujie was Chu Liyue's adopted younger brother when she was a child. Chu Liyue was five years older than him.
He was a pitiful creature she rescued from the jaws of a vicious dog on the street when she was ten years old. Her original intention in rescuing him and keeping him by her side was to cultivate him into a confidant, but things gradually went awry.
Xiao Wujie's background is shrouded in mystery. He was only five years old when Chu Liyue rescued him. His vague memories are filled with a life of wandering the streets and being bullied by others.
He had never experienced human warmth, so he regarded Chu Liyue as the only light in his life.
He was exceptionally gifted from a young age, and could learn anything without being taught.
In addition, he has a face that could bring ruin to a country, which makes him very much to Chu Liyue's liking.
Because they were both young and lacked warmth, they grew closer as they sought warmth from each other, forgetting their master-servant relationship and becoming an inseparable brother and sister.
When Chu Liyue was twelve years old, a gunshot rang out without warning, and Xiao Wujie instinctively stood in front of her.
However, what it blocked was not an ordinary bullet, but a syringe filled with an unknown liquid.
Xiao Wujie only felt dizzy and lightheaded on the spot, without any violent reaction.
However, it was later discovered that an unknown virus had been implanted in his body.
This virus is bizarre and of unknown origin. Chu Liyue spent a fortune hiring countless medical experts, but none of them could solve it.
The information gathered so far suggests that the virus is still in its infancy, with no cure yet. It will continue to erode human cells until it takes away a person's life, and there will be an outbreak period. Once the disease develops, the person will experience excruciating pain all over their body.
