The novel is based on... Modern sweet pet + extreme heart abuse + love without heartache + affectionate perversion + first torturing women and then men
It tells much more than a "wife-chasing crematorium" story. Its core is how two "poisoned" souls repeatedly forged themselves and each other in the flames of harm and redemption, and finally became each other's only choice.
The "antidote" and "cage" of oneness...
The cruelest prison is in the name of love; the deepest redemption is in the name of sin.
