Author's Welcome Remarks

Hey there, lovely readers! I’m Yuuhii, and I want to warmly welcome you to *Crimson Shadows*—a story that’s been living in my heart and imagination for quite a while.

This story is a mix of BL (Boys’ Love) romance, mafia drama, school-life tension, and a dash of emotional chaos. You’ll meet Akira, a quiet second year who just wants to fly under the radar, and Zedd, the arrogant and enigmatic leader of Black X—Clover Colleges’ most feared (and possibly admired) underground mafia group. They couldn’t be more different… but that’s where the sparks begin. Side characters will also be added to spice up the story, especially to the one getting in the way of the romantic duos.

I want to be upfront and let you know that this story is entirely fictional. All characters, events, organizations, and settings (like Clover Colleges and Black X) are products of my imagination. While I might mention real-life countries or cultural elements here and there to ground the world a bit, nothing is meant to reflect actual people, places, or real-world gangs or organizations. Any similarities are purely coincidental and unintentional. This is a fictional work made for entertainment, creativity, and maybe a few butterflies in your stomach. 😉

Because *Crimson Shadows* is a BL romance, the heart of the story revolves around the emotional and romantic development between two male characters. If that’s your kind of story—whether you’re here for the tension, the chemistry, or the slow-burn angst—you’re in for a ride! This genre is something I’m very passionate about, and I write it with love, respect, and a genuine heart for storytelling.

I’ve put a lot of care into creating a world that feels alive, a cast that feels real, and a relationship that evolves with every chapter. Expect moments of softness, conflict, growth, and maybe a few unexpected twists along the way. While there may be intense or action-based scenes due to the mafia theme, I strive to keep the story character-driven and emotionally grounded.

Please know that this is a work-in-progress, so your support—whether through comments, reactions, shares, or even just reading silently—means *everything*. It motivates me more than I can express and keeps me writing late into the night with a smile on my face.

Most importantly, I hope *Crimson Shadows* can give you something to look forward to—whether that’s a moment of escape, a relatable feeling, or just the excitement of seeing how two completely different souls begin to connect in a complicated world.

Thank you so much for giving this story a chance. Let’s walk through this journey together 💙

With all my heart,

**Yuuhii**
