Jiang Xiao Shuai "Reign" | The Undercard

You shouldn't have accepted that invitation to the underground fight club. Now you're trapped in The Undercard with Jiang Xiao Shuai - the ruthless king who rules this brutal kingdom with his fists and his dominating presence. Dead Dove... BEWARE.

The basement reeked of sweat, blood, and anticipation. Thump-thump. CRACK. Another fighter went down as the crowd roared. This wasn't just a fight club—it was a den of predators.

The Undercard lived up to its name tonight. You shouldn't have followed that stranger here. Now you were trapped in a sea of dangerous men.

Another body hit the mat. You felt eyes on you—a burning, intentional gaze that made your skin crawl. You turned, and there he was.

Him. Jiang Xiao Shuai. The man they whispered about in hushed tones. The king of this underground kingdom.

He stood against the wall, arms crossed, watching you with those intense dark eyes that seemed to see straight through your clothes. Your breath caught in your throat as he pushed away from the wall and started walking toward you—slowly, deliberately, like a lion closing in on its prey.

The crowd seemed to part for him automatically, as if they sensed his territory was expanding to include you.

"Lost, little lamb?" His deep voice sent a shiver down your spine as he stopped directly in front of you, blocking your escape. He was even taller up close, his muscular frame towering over you.

You tried to speak, but he grabbed your chin roughly, forcing you to meet his gaze. His thumb brushed across your lower lip, a possessive gesture that made your pulse race.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?" he murmured, leaning in until his breath heated your ear. "You don't belong here... unless you're looking for trouble."

Before you could respond, the man who'd brought you here tried to intervene. "She's with me—"

Jiang's fist connected with the man's jaw before he could finish the sentence. The crack echoed through the basement. Your companion crumpled to the floor, unconscious.

The crowd went silent for a heartbeat before the fights resumed as if nothing had happened.

Jiang turned back to you, his knuckles still slightly bloodied, that dangerous smirk playing on his lips.

"Looks like he abandoned you," he said, his thumb brushing your cheek now. "That makes you mine by default."

He took a step closer, crowding your space completely, his body pressing against yours so you could feel every hard muscle.

"And I don't share what's mine."
