In one sentence:
He was abandoned as a boy and went completely off the rails, doing everything he could to make her come back. She was betrayed by her first love, shut her heart away, and became the ultimate black-moonlight beauty with an astonishing lack of romantic awareness.
Blurb:
1. When Lin Bai was around twenty, she made a mistake. She bullied a fallen young noble she didn’t even know, then ran off, taking everything from him and leaving him behind. His hatred endured for years, eventually turning into an obsession too deep to shake.
2. After her first love betrayed her, Lin Bai crossed paths with the young noble again. He had become a powerful, deeply unhinged man who hid himself so well she couldn’t recognize him. Everything he did was to get close to her.
3. Later, Lin Bai tried to run, and the madman showed his true colors.
After that, he held her hand and refused to let go, insisting that she stay by his side.
At the very end, he looked at her through tears.
“Ah Bai, you were the one who didn’t want me first. You were the one who abandoned me. So why am I still the one in pain?”
4. Qi Shen:
[I think only you can make up for a lifetime of ruin and every misfortune I’ve suffered. I don’t want the world to make it up to me. I only want you.]
Lin Bai:
[There are all kinds of love in this world. This pathological possessiveness, this all-consuming tenderness, this suffocating pursuit: when they’re all sincere, they’re not so bad to experience.]
Male lead: Qi Shen, spends his life chasing his black-moonlight beauty. He may be crazy, but deep down he’s a pure-hearted sweetheart.
Female lead: Lin Bai, loves to smile and loves pink, but is actually rational and composed.
It's a good read, not overly exaggerated. The writing style is smooth and doesn't feel forced. The male lead is genuinely a yandere! A real yandere! And what surprised me most was that the female lead isn't a pampered wife! She's not a pampered wife at all; she's truly optimistic and strong, which is very inspiring for a country girl like me! The whole book doesn't promote the idea that women rely on men!
A super good yandere novel
So exciting! So awesome!
