[Content warnings]
△ A wholly tragic Liaozhai-style romance: no sweetness, no catharsis, no redemption
△ A dark fate rendered in an old-fashioned, gentle style: an overwrought, artsy narrative being publicly tortured by reality
△ You might not cry after reading this; you may just want to grab the characters by the collar and demand answers, or beat them up
△ Unexpectedly suitable for calming your mood, such as during a manic episode, or for examining self-indulgence and a tendency toward histrionic behavior
△ The author's first attempt at a new genre, an dissection of human nature. Read with caution.
(The story is a fictionalized blend of real cases and imagination. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. We recommend seeking psychological support promptly if needed.)
