3874: The Informer

Tang Ru-zu learned to read people's expressions at an early age, shaped by his father's strict upbringing. He soon discovered that being an informant and exposing other people's secrets gave him a sense of superiority. With every act of betrayal, he felt an increasing rush of pleasure. Informing on others became an addictive source of satisfaction, and gradually, he came to believe that exposing people's weaknesses was his mission.

After failing to secure a government position, Tang was introduced by his father to an organization tasked with surveilling specific individuals. To protect the organization's secrecy, he was assigned the codename "3874". From that point on, he was no longer an ordinary person, but a professional informant. Every act of betrayal made him feel superior, and when he reported a romantic rival competing for the woman he desired, he was assigned a mission to eliminate him.

Even after meeting a woman who truly loves him, Tang's life is not without its turning points. Though he hesitates for a fleeting moment, the code name "3874" keeps whispering in his ear: "Everything must be handled impartially." There can be no room for personal feelings or favoritism.

In the end, he delivers his own love into the abyss with his own hands, and walks toward his own ruin as well.
