My Body Was Still Warm When a Vengeful Spirit Clung to Me

Gender disguise / forced love / rival suitors and misunderstandings / the male lead’s long road to winning her back / campus suspense / happy ending / first life / Her disguise: Trapped in the palm of her cold roommate An Qin disguises herself as a boy to investigate her friend’s death at an elite academy, convinced her act is flawless. Until He Jinchao presses a finger to her lips and pins her in the dark, slowly taking her apart inch by inch. “Don’t make a sound. Do you want to get caught?” She bites the pillow, trembling all over, unable to tell whether it’s fear or something else. Only later does she learn that he saw through her disguise on the very first day. He didn’t expose her. He was just waiting for her to tell him herself. Or perhaps he simply didn’t care. All he wanted was to devour her, bit by bit. I’ll go mad for you, grow jealous for you, burn the whole world to ashes for you. But you have to stay alive, alive to hate me.
