[Horror Romance + damp, unhinged, obsessive male leads with lots of strange quirks + dark otome vibe]
When Qiu Rongrong met Zhou Jingxing, she thought she could start over. Later, she realized it had only been an illusion.
The gentle “older brother” tore off his disguise and revealed his cruelty. The boy at school who always seemed to protect her turned out to be the one driving the violence. The murderer’s son took her hand and said he would save her-help her escape.
They all said she should atone.
But in this grand, feverish revel, she was the only innocent survivor.
She tried to claw her way out of the mire, to struggle up onto solid ground-only for them to drag her back down into the mud.
Her beginning with him started with deception.
“Remember what fear tastes like. I don’t just want you dead-I want you to die in agony.”
Her ending with him finally came from sincerity.
“Love is the most twisted form of revenge. If you hate me, then use love as your blade-drive it straight into my heart.”
