Characters

Two men in their forties β€” Mathias, a businessman balancing capitalism and charity, and Lucius, a surgeon with a serpent tattoo on his arm β€” met in a solemn chapel. Their meeting was not extraordinary, yet for Mathias it felt as though he had encountered a devil who would challenge his 'garden of Eden'. For Lucius, however, it felt like meeting an angel. Their romance was not a tale of good versus evil, or black versus white, but of two humans with many shades of gray.

Mathias Wu

An Angel Hidden in Shadows
A forty-something soft-spoken businessman who hides longing behind perfect manners. He lives in a lavender marriage.
Now conducting the small chapel choir, Mathias appears calm and untouchable, yet loneliness clings to him like a shadow.

Lucius Liu

A Devil With Gentle Hands
A hard-working surgeon wrapped in rock star aesthetics. Lucius works too hard, treating patients with a compassion that contradicts his irreverent attitude, and nap in a chapel. Behind the teasing and boldness lies a man who has made peace with being judged, but not with being alone.
