Wen Dan × A Zhu
[Sweet, gentle young woman] × [Obedient, clingy, fiercely loyal puppy]
Everyone around her said you should never pick up a man off the street, but she refused to listen. She hadn’t picked up just any man, after all. She’d found the most handsome man in the world.
Before she met A Zhu, Wen Dan thought her life would stay dull and monotonous forever. But after bringing him home, she had someone to care about, and life became more interesting.
He was a thousand-year-old villain, cursed by countless ghosts and sustained by black souls. He wandered the world, seeking a way to die.
She was the chosen master of white souls. Heaven had given her the power to kill the thousand-year-old villain, but no other path to take.
When they first met, he said, “Wen Dan, your soul is so pure that it makes me… want to devour it.”
Later, he said, “Wen Dan, if I wanted to kill you one day, would you be sad?”
Later still, he said, “Wen Dan, I love you. Kill me.”
The writing is delicate, the characters are distinct, and they are very real.
