### Summary
The story follows Weijing, a pharmacist in the crime-infested city of Kowloon who manufactures drugs for syndicates and is forced to care for a mysterious man. While a relationship was developing between them, the narrative introduced a controversial development with a new character, a mobster named Liuwi. A sexual encounter between Weijing and Liuwi, described as gentle, was immediately followed by Liuwi pulling a gun on Weijing, causing a strong negative reaction from readers who now label him a "psycho." This event has sparked confusion and debate among the fanbase regarding the main love interest, with speculation now split between the original mysterious man, Liuwi, and other potential leads. The manga's distinct and atmospheric art style, which readers compare to "Wolf in the House" and note for its depiction of real Hong Kong locations, contributes to a sense of dread about a tragic outcome. Despite the recent plot turmoil, current reader comments remain positive, praising the art and expressing anticipation for future developments.
