Mysterious Gu of Southern Xinjiang: Trapped in Research

Dual male leads: Lin Chen / A Yan (aloof graduate student x mysterious young man from Miaojiang)

His eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, dark waves churning within them. "Are you satisfied now? You just had to see all this, had to get involved! Is the only way to keep you in line to lock you up somewhere only I know about? Hmm?"

Lin Chen gazed at his face, so close and made all the more aggressive by his fury. He could feel the terrifying possessiveness in A Yan's words, yet his heart was racing out of control because of the love-cursed powder and their proximity.

The cruelty of the truth and A Yan's undisguised madness wove together into a net that was all the more alluring and dangerous.

He parted his lips, his voice faint but clear:

"Then... can you keep me locked up?"
