At 24, Jiang Liu's peaceful life was violently shattered.

His friend's coma, his mother's death, and his father's disappearance gradually overwhelmed him.

Then, at his lowest point, an evil spirit emerged from the shadows, speaking in a beguiling voice: “Brother Liu, I can help you, but... there will be a price.”

He agreed without hesitation. It was his only way out. He had to grow stronger to kill the murderer and protect those he cared about, no matter the cost.

Even if it meant selling his body.

In the end, he finally got his revenge.

But the evil spirit no longer hid its many desires, and he was reaching his breaking point.

The evil spirit killed the girl who confessed her love to him right in front of him and gravely wounded his friend. It drove away anyone who tried to get close to him, enclosing the two of them in a circle so they could cling to each other until death.

The evil spirit kept making sanctimonious claims that it loved him, but... was this really love?

He desperately wished he could escape the prison the evil spirit had woven with its own hands, but... where else could he go? He had already lost everything.
