[Two male leads + business-war romance angst + high-IQ revenge + exquisite tragic ending + regretful pursuit of a lost lover] <Completed ᐠ( O ᵕ O )ᐟ>
[Controlling, secretly sociopathic CEO top vs. idealistic partner bottom who burns to ashes]
Fu Chenzhou himself nailed Jiang Jinye to the pillar of shame as a “technology traitor.”
Amid the whole internet’s condemnation, no one saw what lay in the hidden compartment of the CEO’s office:
A tie clip forged from the wreckage of a military cot, still bearing the old inscription “Chenzhou Jinye.”
“The cruelest curse in the world is to split a heart in two.” On fireworks night, Jiang Jinye lit the fuse. His fractured smile flickered in the flames. “One half nurtures love, the other feeds on hate… and somehow they’re gnawing at the same flesh and blood.”
“Our names could never share a place on a gravestone.” Years later, Fu Chenzhou ran his hand over the rust-stained railing by the river. Blood bubbled in his throat. “It’s the gap left behind after you tore the flesh from my heart.”
When Jiang Jinye leapt from the hundred-meter fireworks platform;
When three layers of codes in his suicide note tore apart the final lie;
When the spring of the military cot pierced Fu Chenzhou’s palm and fused with his flesh and bone
That was when this torture carried out in the name of love truly began.

The writing is very good, I suggest the teacher torture me to death, thank you [full]
The intensity of torture is well controlled and the details are described delicately.
The plot is very good, the description is nice, and it arouses emotional resonance after reading a few chapters. But teacher, you are killing me 😢
