Characters
Yvet
The protagonist. After her parents were murdered in her childhood, she was taken in by an assassination organization and trained in various assassination techniques. Following her escape, she was sheltered by Yeung Kwun, the former chairman of the Red Flower Society, and became the wife of his son, Francis. She vows to find and avenge her husband's attacker.
Francis
Yvet's husband. He had pursued a legitimate career as a lawyer, but after his father Yeung Kwun's death, he reluctantly took over as chairman of the Red Flower Society at Yvet's request to quell the succession chaos. He was aware of Yvet's past and made it a condition of his succession that she become his wife. The attack on him reignites the succession struggle.
The Ghost
The Red Flower Society chairman's bodyguard. He has served the family since Yeung Kwun's time. Highly loyal to the organization, he views Yvet with suspicion as she assumes the role of acting chairwoman. To strengthen Yvet's security amidst the succession dispute, he calls in the Luk brothers.
Lai
Yvet's old acquaintance and a detective. He was formerly a police officer. Yvet once saved his life, and out of gratitude, he assists in investigating the attack. He is wary of the Ghost, who seems to be hiding something from Yvet.
Luk
Yvet's security detail, summoned by the Ghost. He possesses a trained physique, calm judgment, and high combat capabilities. However, he is less adept with modern IT technology and relies solely on his younger brother, Shawn, for information gathering. He was once part of the same assassination organization as Yvet.
Shawn
Luk's younger brother. While not highly skilled in combat, he excels at information gathering using the internet. Cracking servers with weak security and developing information-gathering viruses are second nature to him.
Dog Head
A Red Flower Society executive. He was a hot-headed, belligerent fighter who commanded strong trust within the organization. However, he fell under suspicion of plotting Francis's assassination upon the former chairman's death, which subsequently diminished his standing within the Red Flower Society. He has a son named Johnny with his deceased wife.
