When she becomes the most dangerous containment subject...
Lin Wan, a top psychologist, always thought she was simply too empathetic.
Until her younger sister died by a mysterious suicide. When Lin Wan touched one of her belongings, she was forced to "see" the truth:
Every extreme emotion in the world can take physical form, and her sister had died from a sense of guilt that had been meticulously "compiled."
To track down the culprit, she infiltrates the mysterious institution known as the Emotional Containment Center.
It contains every uncontrolled emotional entity in humanity. Her immediate superior, Shen Ji, is a centuries-old monster who lives by devouring emotions but is emotionally hollow himself. He treats her as his most unusual "specimen."
"If you can sense emotions, you can create them." Shen Ji looks at her as if she were a weapon that has yet to be sharpened.
Lin Wan is forced to admit that her "empathy" is, at its core, absolute control over emotions.
Joy, anger, fear, desire... all can be dismantled, reassembled, and projected at will.
She has become the Containment Center's sharpest blade and its most unstable bomb.
Then, while investigating a string of emotion-fueled murders, she discovers the mark of the "Pleasure Club."
The invitation left for her by the organization that delights in driving people to emotional collapse reads:
"Welcome home, our finest 'screenwriter.'"
And in the depths of her memories, images of a childhood that never existed begin to surface:
A cold laboratory, Subject 07, and a whisper:
"Let's see what happens when the 'source of emotion' learns to hate humanity."
