He Pursues, He Flees, He Has Nowhere Left to Run

[Ruthless, obsessive, unhinged male lead × withdrawn, struggling love interest]

[Unhinged + withdrawn + coercive love + tangled love and hate + pure love]

Lin Yuechi and Jing Yao: one is a madman raised amid murder and scheming; the other is aloof and detached, struggling to survive while giving up on himself.

The two should never have crossed paths, but a chance encounter sent them both plunging into the abyss.

One forces; the other is forced.

“Once people have a weakness, they can only stay obediently inside the cage they made for themselves. Don’t even think about escaping. Isn’t that right?”

“Be good. Don’t make me use methods you won’t like to keep you by my side.”

It began with force and threats, then turned into dependence and a stirring of the heart.

Without even realizing it, he gradually opened his heart and fell in love with Lin Yuechi.

Everything seemed to be moving in a better direction.

But one day, someone’s arrival shattered it all.

On one side was his mother’s dying wish; on the other, the lover who cherished and protected him.

In the end, he chose the wrong path...

Five years of painstaking effort were destroyed in an instant. Three years of narrowly escaping death left Lin Yuechi increasingly twisted.

[Why are you so cruel to me? Why did you betray me?!]

[I’d even trust you with my life, and this is how you repay me? Ah! Why? Why would you do this to me?!]

[Should I have broken your hands and crippled your legs from the very start, then locked you firmly by my side?!]

He destroys Jing Yao with his own hands!

He wants Jing Yao to kill the person who gave their life to protect him three years ago!

He wants Jing Yao to become an executioner with blood on his hands, just like him!
