Chapter 1 Snow Lotus Café
Winter covered the streets of Hangzhou in soft white snow.
Morning sunlight filtered through the tall glass windows of a small but beautiful café called Snow Lotus Café.
Inside, warm light glowed softly.
The scent of coffee and spicy noodles filled the air.
Behind the counter stood a young man with soft black hair tied loosely at the back.
Shen Yu (mc)
(He wore a clean white shirt and a dark apron. His calm expression made the whole café feel peaceful.)
A fluffy orange cat slept beside the cash register.
Shen Yu (mc)
(gently stroked the cat)
Shen Yu (mc)
“Little Chili, don’t sleep on the register again,” he said softly.
From the kitchen, a voice shouted.
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“Brother! The chili oil is finished again!”
Shen Yu (mc)
“That’s because you put chili in everything.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(walked out carrying a tray)
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(proudly)
“Customers love spicy food.”
Shen Yu (mc)
(shook his head)
Shen Yu (mc)
“You love spicy food.”
Just then the door opened.
The cold winter wind entered the café.
A tall man stepped inside.
Black coat.
Sharp eyes.
Powerful presence.
Everyone in the café unconsciously became quiet.
This man was Liang Zhen.
The most feared CEO in the business world.
But Shen Yu didn’t recognize him.
Shen Yu (mc)
(simply smiled politely)
“Welcome.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(looked around slowly)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(dark eyes finally stopped on Shen Yu)
For the first time in years…
Because the person in front of him looked like something that didn't belong to the cruel world.
Like a snow lotus blooming in winter.
Shen Yu (mc)
“What would you like to order?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(stared at him for a moment)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(spoke coldly)
“Coffee.”
Shen Yu (mc)
(nodded)
“Do you like spicy coffee?”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(whispered from the kitchen)
“Oh no…”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(slowly raised his eyebrow)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Spicy… coffee?”
Shen Yu (mc)
(smiled gently)
“It’s our speciality.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(hated spicy food)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(He hated it more than anything)
Shen Yu (mc)
(prepared the drink calmly)
Shen Yu (mc)
(add
Coffee
Chili powder
Secret spices)
Shen Yu (mc)
(He placed the cup on the table)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(took a sip)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(face darkened)
Shen Yu (mc)
(tilted his head)
Shen Yu (mc)
“Is something wrong?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(put the cup down slowly)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(voice became extremely cold)
“You’re playing with me.”
Shen Yu (mc)
(blinked in confusion)
“I thought you wanted to try something new.”
(The CEO stared at him.
No fear.
No greed.
No flattery.
Just calm honesty.)
For the first time in many years…
Liang Zhen (ml)
(felt something strange)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(Interest)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(Dangerous interest)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(stood up slowly)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Your name.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(repeated it quietly)
“Shen… Yu.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(he turned and left)
Outside the café, his assistant rushed toward him.
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“President Liang, the meeting is starting.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(glanced back at the café window)
Inside, Shen Yu was feeding the orange cat.
Completely different from Liang Zhen’s violent world.
Liang Zhen (ml)
(spoke quietly)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Investigate him.”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
( blinked)
“Who?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(looked back at the café again)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“The café owner.”
Chapter 2: The Black Wolf Arrives
Morning snow still rested on the quiet streets of Hangzhou. The cold air outside carried the smell of winter, but inside Snow Lotus Café, everything was warm.
Behind the counter stood Shen Yu.
He was carefully arranging small plates of pastries in the glass display. His movements were slow and elegant, almost like someone performing a quiet dance.
His black hair fell softly near his eyes. The warm café lights made his skin look even fairer.
From the kitchen came a loud voice.
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“Brother! Did someone really order the spicy coffee yesterday?!”
Shen Yu (mc)
(didn’t even turn around)
“Yes.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(rushed out of the kitchen)
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“You're joking.”
Shen Yu (mc)
(calmly wiped the counter)
“He drank it.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(stared in disbelief)
“Someone actually drank your chili coffee and survived?”
Shen Yu (mc)
(gave a small smile)
“He looked like he regretted it.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(burst out laughing)
“Poor guy.”
At that moment the café door opened again.
A tall man walked inside wearing a stylish coat and sunglasses.
His hair was carefully styled and his clothes looked like they came straight from a luxury magazine.
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(dramatically removed his sunglasses)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
“Shen Yu, my dear café owner,”
Wen Kai (mc bff)
“Your café is still the only place where I can relax.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(rolled his eyes)
“You say that every day.”
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(ignored him and walked to the counter)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
The two friends spoke casually, unaware that across the city another man was currently listening to a report about them.
Shen Yu (mc)
(chuckled quietly)
Shen Yu (mc)
“You’re the reason we go through so much chili.”
The two friends spoke casually, unaware that across the city another man was currently listening to a report about them.
Inside a massive glass building in the center of Hangzhou stood the headquarters of Liang Group.
On the top floor, inside a large office with floor-to-ceiling windows, sat Liang Zhen.
The most feared businessman in the city.
Liang Zhen (ml)
(sharp eyes moved quickly across the page)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
(Standing in front of the desk was his)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“President Liang,”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“the investigation is finished.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(did not look up)
“Speak.”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“The café owner’s name is Shen Yu. Age twenty-six.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(finally raised his eyes)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“He owns Snow Lotus Café with his younger brother. The café opened three years ago. Business is stable.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Any background problems?”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“No scandals. No criminal records. Very clean.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(listened quietly)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
(flipped another page)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“His parents live nearby. His mother works in community charity programs. His father runs a small local company.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(tapped his finger slowly on the desk)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“What about relationships?”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
(hesitated slightly)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“He has a close friend named Wen Kai, a fashion designer.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(nodded once)
“Money?”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
(blinked)
“Sorry?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Any record of chasing wealthy men?”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“None.”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“In fact… people say he often gives free meals to students who can’t afford food.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(leaned back slightly in his chair)
For years, he had seen only two kinds of people:
People who feared him.
And people who wanted his money.
Had simply served coffee.
No fear.
No greed.
Just calm politeness.
Liang Zhen (ml)
(spoke again)
“Schedule change.”
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
(looked confused)
yu Siwoo (ML ASSISTANT)
“Sir-”
Liang Zhen (ml)
“I’m going out.”
Meanwhile, at Snow Lotus Café, lunch hour was beginning.
Customers filled the tables
Shen Yu moved calmly between tables delivering food.
Shen Yu (mc)
“Your spicy noodles.”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Please enjoy.”
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(near the window sketching designs in a notebook)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(suddenly looked up)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
“Shen Yu.”
Wen Kai (mc bff)
“You’re getting more handsome.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(shouted from the counter)
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“Stop flirting with my brother!”
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(smirked)
“I’m appreciating beauty.”
And the entire room suddenly became quiet.
Several customers recognized the man who just entered.
Customers
“Wait… that’s Liang Zhen!”
Customers
“The Black Wolf…”
Because everyone in Hangzhou knew that name.
The ruthless CEO who crushed business rivals without mercy.
Liang Zhen (ml)
(walked inside slowly)
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(whispered nervously)
“Brother… do you know who that is?”
Shen Yu (mc)
He saw the man from yesterday.
Shen Yu (mc)
(calmly)
“Oh,The spicy coffee customer.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“That’s Liang Zhen!”
Shen Yu (mc)
(had already walked toward the table.)
Shen Yu (mc)
(spoke politely)
“Welcome back.”
The surrounding customers stared in shock.
No one spoke to Liang Zhen like that.
Liang Zhen (ml)
(sat down)
Liang Zhen (ml)
(His dark eyes observed Shen Yu carefully)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“You remember me.”
Shen Yu (mc)
“You ordered spicy coffee yesterday.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(silent for a moment)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“I won’t make that mistake again.”
Shen Yu (mc)
(almost smiled)
Shen Yu (mc)
“What would you like today?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Black coffee.”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Anything else?”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Anything else?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(looked directly into Shen Yu’s eyes)
Liang Zhen (ml)
“Something not spicy.”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Understood.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
(whispered urgently)
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“Brother, that’s Liang Zhen! The richest and scariest CEO in Hangzhou!”
Shen Yu (mc)
(placed coffee beans into the grinder)
Shen Yu (mc)
“He’s still a customer.”
Shen Hao (mc brother)
“You’re not nervous?”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Why should I be?”
Liang Zhen (ml)
(stared at him like he was crazy)
Meanwhile across the café window another car had just parked.
A tall man stepped out.
Cold expression.
Sharp eyes.
Immediately his gaze scanned the entire room like a predator checking for danger.
Then his eyes landed on someone sitting by the window.
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(still sketching)
Gu Han (ml bff)
(stopped walking)
Gu Han (ml bff)
(For a moment his cold expression changed slightly)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
(suddenly looked up)
Wen Kai (mc bff)
“Why is that bodyguard staring at me?”
Back at the table Liang Zhen was watching Shen Yu bring coffee.
Shen Yu (mc)
(placed the cup down)
Shen Yu (mc)
“Your coffee.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
( looked at it.
Then, I looked at Shen Yu)
“You're not afraid of me.”
Liang Zhen (ml)
“You're not afraid of me.”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Should I be?”
Shen Yu (mc)
“Then there’s no problem.”
For the first time in years…
Liang Zhen almost laughed.
This café owner truly had no idea who he was dealing with.
But that only made things more interesting.
Outside the café snow began falling again.
Inside, something far more dangerous had started.
Because the Black Wolf had returned.
And this time…
He had no intention of leaving Shen Yu alone.
