Ten texts designed to break their hearts. An abandoned estate of death, sealed off for twenty years.
A murder-mystery game with no one’s real identity known lured the descendants of nine sinners into a trial disguised as a game.
I’m Shen Hua, an illustrator who solves cases by looking closely. A mysterious person singled me out and drew me into the game.
He’s Lu Ci, a cold, restrained game master with the whole situation in his hands, and the sole mastermind behind this revenge plot.
Everyone else panicked, grew suspicious, and fell apart. His gaze, however, rested solely on me.
He searched for evidence with me, trusted my deductions, showed tenderness only to me, and revealed the vulnerability he had hidden for twenty years to me alone.
He hated everyone in the world, yet gave all his tenderness and favoritism to me alone.
I was the light in his darkness, the weakness in his quest for revenge, and the love he had restrained himself from reaching for half his life.
“Shen Hua, I’ve spent twenty years setting this plan in motion, waiting for you to uncover the truth.”
“And waiting for you to pull me out of the abyss.”
Slow-burn push and pull | Subtle sparks | Suspenseful revenge | Mutual salvation
He entered the game driven by hatred, but because of me, he willingly fell in love.
