Lin Shen has a secret. He can see through everyone's disguise.
The word "human" on the top of human's head, the vertical pupils hidden by demons, and the mythical shadows entwined by gods have nowhere to hide in his eyes. Relying on this ability, he struggled to survive in the apocalypse where humans and monsters are in conflict: during the day, he was an ordinary high school student in Nancheng No. 3 Middle School, and at night, he was a "hozen", a monster cub that wandered underground.
He also has a secret that he cannot tell. He has a crush on his deskmate Su Wan.
Su Wan is recognized as the school belle by the whole school. She is aloof and has excellent grades. She is the unattainable white moonlight for all boys. But Lin Shen's fiery eyes could see clearly: there were vertical lines hidden deep in her pupils, her body temperature was five degrees lower than normal people, and there was a light blue snake tail coiled around her waist.
She is a snake-born monster lurking in human society.
What's even more ironic is that she needs to hunt humans every month to survive.
But for a whole year and a half, she sat next to him. Her eyes would change when she was extremely hungry, but she never touched a finger on him.
What Lin Shen didn't know was that Su Wan also had a secret - this boy was the only prey she couldn't eat in her long hunting career.
In the first semester of her senior year of high school, Su Wan's identity was exposed and her adoptive parents were arrested by the Purification Department. On the eve of her escape, she left a note in Lin Shen's textbook:
"Do you know why I don't eat you?"
