[1v1 Extra Sweet + Brooding Male Lead + Mutually Twisted Romance]
On his twentieth birthday, Lin Shiyu unpacked takeout in front of an empty fridge. The “Happy birthday” in the order notes had been added by the delivery driver on a whim. He was an “invisible person” his parents had abandoned in their home.
The necklace Su Wanwan had saved three months' wages to buy became her brother's girlfriend's accessory in the blink of an eye. She was the family's “stepping stone,” unable even to hold on to the things she loved. She had learned long ago that if you don't fight for something, you'll lose it.
Then the cake from the coffee shop was placed in the man's hands, and the sweetness clinging to them felt like fire burning through ice.
He began to cling to her like a madman, monitoring her every move.
When Su Wanwan's mother threatened her into breaking up, she deleted and blocked her outright. “I chose him. I'd never let him go, even if I died!”
They were each other's only family.
At night, the surveillance lights blinked like heartbeats. Outsiders called them a pair of born-to-be patients.
But only they knew the truth: Lin Shiyu's chest, empty for twenty years, could only feel its own heartbeat because of Su Wanwan.
The “only one” Su Wanwan had lost finally blossomed beneath Lin Shiyu's possessive love.
“You're mine, and mine alone” had never been a sweet nothing.
It was the hottest armor two abandoned people could wear against the whole world.
