Everyone in Cangcheng knows that Lu Jin is a madman.
He killed his father with his own hands at thirteen, crushed his rivals and rose to the top of the underworld at twenty-two, then became the city's master of the night at thirty. He is cold-blooded, obsessive, and utterly inhuman. There's a saying in his world... If you fall into Lu Jin's hands, you'd be better off ending your own life.
Yet this very madman set his sights on an eighteen-year-old college student one rainy night.
Su Nian still doesn't understand why, on that night, she was chosen at a glance and plunged into an abyss, when all she'd done was take a shortcut and accidentally witness something she shouldn't have.
“Your life, your body, everything you have can only belong to me.”
He imprisoned her in a cage called “Jin Palace,” stripping away all her freedom. He threatened her with her parents, pressured her through her school, and used violence to assert his claim over her, while the occasional tender moment made her fall for him. He fastened a necklace engraved with the character “Jin” around her neck, as if branding his prey for eternity.
She feared him, hated him, and wanted to escape, yet after countless struggles, she fell for the man who sometimes let his vulnerability show in the dead of night.
But what he gave her was always an even deeper destruction after each moment of tenderness.
Misunderstandings, framing, kidnapping, miscarriage... Every time she thought she'd grown closer to his heart, reality shoved her into an even colder abyss. When she finally decided to stay and accompany him to the bitter end, what awaited her was...
“In my next life, I won't be a big shot. I'll just be an ordinary person who belongs to you.”
Then he died in her arms.
His blood stained her white dress, and every day and night of the rest of her life...
