Zhou Liao was an unfortunate man.
At ten, he was thrown into a trash can and left to fend for himself.
At twenty, he met Master Li.
She was a bright ray of light, almost like a deity.
He was nowhere near worthy of her, but that didn’t stop him from claiming her as his own and keeping her captive.
Ruan Li watched the man climb out of the sports car. His silvery-white hair brushed against his icy brows, and his eyes were fixed on her as he walked toward her, step by step. Her legs nearly gave way.
Zhou Liao pulled her into his arms and chuckled, murmuring against her ear, “What’s wrong, Master Li? Why do your legs turn to jelly the moment you see your little brother?”
Ruan Li’s legs trembled. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled too. “Do they? I’m just pretending, to humor you.”
Zhou Liao gave a couple of soft laughs. “Thank you, Master Li.”
The deity would eventually fall from the heavens. He thought he had won, but in the end, he discovered
When a roomful of portraits appeared before him, each depicting him, yet not him, he finally understood that a deity must never be profaned.

In the end, he sent the deity back to the heavens and knelt in reverence.
A female lead who is no saint, severe depression with psychosomatic symptoms, a dead white moonlight, a possessive and unhinged male lead, and stand-in romance.
Don’t be fooled by how much fun you’re having reading this. At its heart, this is a tragic romance.
But the story of Su Guo and Shen Jinye, the supporting characters who also share the female lead’s scenes, is incredibly sweet, sweet enough to give you a toothache!
A second male lead rises to the top, a reunion with the young “killer” Su Guo, and a tearful Shen Jinye begging for a divorce.
