[Mystery + light comedy]
[Somewhat timid, wildly imaginative new warden x scheming, calculating prisoner who came specifically for the warden]
[Secret crush x promise made years ago. But what if the one who made the promise has forgotten?]
Li Huo is forced to take over as warden.
He stays up all night watching videos of other wardens going about their daily lives, but something about what he sees just feels off.
After much hesitation, Li Huo reaches a pipe and climbs inside. When he emerges, someone catches him.
Li Huo: “Hi... let me talk my way out of this... I mean, explain.”
When Li Huo sees a prisoner being “bullied,” of course the upright Li Huo chooses to turn around and pretend he didn’t see a thing. He can’t go looking for trouble.
But when a fist comes down, he still grabs an iron rod without hesitation.
Yu He, the prisoner who was “being bullied,” decides to strike while the iron is hot and “accidentally” wanders into the warden’s office again.
Li Huo, drinking tea to calm his nerves: “????”
The moment Yu He opens the door, clutching his chest, he “faints.” Li Huo rushes over to check on him, but the moment Yu He wakes up, he seems like “a different person.” His timidness is gone, and he stares at Li Huo like a wolf, telling him he accidentally unlocked a “split personality.”
Li Huo thinks that’s all there is to it, but one night he hears singing. There’s no one around, and it’s as if everyone has vanished into thin air.
The singing seems to get closer and closer, as though it’s just on the other side of a wall. Laughter drifts through the air. Is someone trying to scare him?
That night, intimacy fills the dim room, and a heady fragrance lingers in the air.
Li Huo: “I know you’ve got stamina, but we can’t make love every night.”
