Name: A Deadly Romance
Author: Miss Wanqing

Synopsis

In the 1990s, a stream of villagers headed south to find work on construction sites.

The pain of leaving home, the hardship of being alone in a strange place, and the tangled ways of the human heart were all crammed into tiny workers’ sheds.

Li Guixiang escaped after her husband used her to pay off a debt, while Chen Jianjun left his family and everything he owned behind to earn a living.

Two people, each burdened by their own troubles, met and kept each other company, thinking they were only offering one another warmth.

But they had no idea that one wrong step would bring nothing but turmoil, regret, and utter ruin.
