[Unhinged + a rotten man’s sincere love + forbidden doting + mother-and-son bond + OOC warning + dark themes]
As Qin Ye flees her abusive husband with baby Inosuke in her arms, she thinks she has met a god, unaware that she has found an even crazier demon!
He is cold-hearted and moody, yet develops a pathological possessiveness toward her as she clutches her baby.
“Madam, your fear is truly delicious.”
“It has a tangy sweetness, with a hint of milk. Such a flavor is rare indeed.”
Using Inosuke as leverage, he forcibly keeps her in the cult, tormenting her day and night. In the Hall of Paradise, he feeds her fruit on his lap and holds her from behind.
Seven days imprisoned in a snow cave, sandalwood marks burned into her collarbone, chains around her slender waist, sharing a bed on a snowy night.
Inosuke’s first smile, first crawl, first bite at the cult leader’s hair, and first babbling words all become little moments of sweetness that ease the tension among the three. Could this unhinged man really have developed a twisted “fatherly love”?
Until the cage breaks and the bird flies away, leaving the mad demon’s Buddha to be denied paradise for all eternity.
No redemption, no happy ending, only an empty, desolate ritual in the snow.
