The Man They Had to Hide

In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.

Heavenly Chaos: The Immortal Everyone Fell For

Lin Feng was never meant to be a hero. An outer disciple of the prestigious Azure Peak Sect, he was known for two things: his rapid cultivation and his uncanny ability to accidentally turn expensive alchemy ingredients into rubble. Everything changes when a routine pill-making session ends in a cataclysmic explosion that levels the Alchemy Hall. Instead of being expelled, Lin Feng discovers a terrifying truth: he possesses a legendary and "impossible" spiritual root that holds the conflicting powers of Chaos and Order. While this dual affinity grants him the potential for god-like power, it also turns his body into a ticking time bomb. With his qi constantly warring within him, Lin Feng is given a deadly ultimatum by the sect's enigmatic and ice-cold leader, Sect Leader Shen Yurong (The Frost Phoenix): Continue his current path and eventually succumb to a violent, internal collapse. Master the Heavenly Chaos Sutra, an ancient, forbidden technique that has claimed the lives of almost everyone who dared to practice it. Forced into the spotlight, Lin Feng must navigate a world of treacherous sect politics, jealous rivals, and the overwhelming expectations of a Sect Leader who sees him as either a future legend or a dangerous liability. As he trains alongside the brilliant and disciplined Disciple Bai, Lin Feng realizes that his chaotic power isn't just a curse—it’s a magnet. In a world where power is everything, can a man who embodies pure contradiction survive long enough to become the legend he was born to be?
