[Scheming and volatile, political power plays, intense thrills, mystery and deduction, animal traits, fleeing an arranged marriage and imprisonment, revenge through a substitute]
A richly layered plot, with every thread tightly interwoven.
I am Lin Fangzhou, and I am also Lin Yizhi. I would risk everything for the person I love.
There is no such thing as an absolute lover, only endless suspicion. Step by step, I uncover the truth behind the deaths of my friends and family.
I will stop at nothing to find the truth and uphold what is right.
I am locked in a fierce push and pull with the one I love.
I sneaked out of the hospital and sat on a bridge over the sea, letting the sea breeze wash over me even though I was a patient who had just lost a child. Watching Sheng An rush around in a panic, I knew the plan had begun.
He ran toward me. Looking up at me from below, he couldn’t hide his alarm. Our eyes met. I had no idea what he was thinking. Slowly, I spoke, my eyes filled with resolve and longing.
“I want you to love me, truly and wholeheartedly. Sheng An, I want you to face what’s in your heart. Today, I’ll dissect it with my own hands. I love you.”
As I spoke, I reached out and placed my palm against his chest, feeling his heartbeat through the thin fabric.
“Today, let’s make a bet: can you really give me up for the sake of your principles?”
I didn’t hesitate. Even though I knew the sea behind me was unfathomably deep, I still threw myself backward without a moment’s doubt.
[Love is like a standoff between two people holding guns. No one opens fire because they feel entitled to, only because their feelings spiral out of control.]
