Synopsis

(The animated drama is now online)

A pampered, sweet girl x her sickly obsessive, unhinged, wolf-in-sheep's-clothing cousin

Both virgins + a sweet, slow-burn everyday romance

The male lead is possessive and obsessive, a gloomy, ghostly man who kills at the slightest disagreement. If this type isn't for you, don't read!

When Shen Zhishui was seven, both her parents died. Her maternal grandparents brought her back to the Lu residence.

At fifteen, her mother's adoptive older brother, who was also her uncle, suddenly passed away. While keeping vigil for him, she fainted and glimpsed the truth of the world in a dream.

The world they lived in was actually a storybook.

And her cousin Lu Guanci, who treated her so well, was the villain in the story.

In the book, Lu Guanci was unloved by both his father and mother. His father even tried to curry favor with the powerful by sending him to a wealthy merchant who preferred men.

Later, she died unexpectedly.

After uncovering the truth, Lu Guanci embarked on a path of revenge for her.

Along the way, he met the male and female leads, who shared his goal and traveled far and wide, making a living by taking on commissions.

For some unknown reason, Lu Guanci kept trying to kill the leads throughout their journey.

In the end, after avenging her, he took his own life at her side, his life forever cut short before he had even come of age.

When Shen Zhishui awoke from the dream, she saw Lu Guanci keeping watch beside her. She resolved to be even kinder to her poor little cousin, hoping his future would be peaceful and happy.

But gradually, events began to take a strange turn...

At night, Lu Guanci lay down beside Shen Zhishui as usual and pulled her into his arms.

Watching Shen Zhishui's fluttering eyelashes, clearly pretending to be asleep, Lu Guanci gazed at her with dark, obsessive eyes and said in a frenzied voice, "Suishui, I love you so much."

"We'll be together forever, won't we?"

So amazing! Men get their periods after seeing this, women go crazy! It's the nemesis of depression, the alarm clock for those in a vegetative state. It's so beautiful it evokes the longing and unrequited love of a villager living on welfare for a widow. It's so beautiful it makes tears flow like the Qiantang River tide. It's so beautiful!

Okay, this author's writing is amazing! I immediately called my entire family together. Those who needed to quit their jobs quit, those who needed to drop out of school dropped out, and everyone stayed home full-time to read this novel! Wow, this is incredible! Does the author even know how good it is? After reading it, my depressed child stopped having OD and stopped eating pig's trotters.

This book is truly wonderful. The female protagonist has a strong sense of self, and her friends see her as possessing admirable qualities that benefit her rather than those of others (see Song Shijin's evaluation of the protagonist). Furthermore, the author describes the protagonist's business dealings and family situation in great detail, whereas many novels describe such aspects very briefly…

I love this kind of sweet, two-way relationship! The first 299 chapters of the previous one were practically a chase, with the author constantly trying to explain, then ignoring the explanations, watching the performance, and believing the reader. I don't know what the author was thinking with the happy ending in the last chapter, dragging things out for so long. This author really writes well; I love the sweet everyday moments! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

It's so good and sweet (づ￣3￣)づ╭❤~ The male lead is very possessive and a bit crazy, but the female lead is very tolerant of him. I've finally found a novel where the female lead isn't afraid or runs away! 💕

So good! So good! So good! 😳 Teacher, please, please give me just one more chapter! I can't take it anymore, please, just one more chapter, I promise I'll never touch this stuff again, please, just one chapter, I swear I'll never touch this stuff again.

The female lead grew up relying on her cousin, and she learned that in a past life, her cousin committed suicide to avenge her. She is extremely dependent on him. The cousin is a pitiful child, unloved by his parents, with only his younger cousin as a playmate. He only received warmth from his cousin and is possessive of the female lead. 🥰 Our little female lead is kind and smart, but when will she realize this? She trusts and relies on her cousin so much, yet only sees him as family.

I finished all the chores at my best friend's house. I washed all the socks and underwear, I knelt down and scrubbed the floor spotless, and I washed every single dish. I swear, I've never seen anything like it before. It's so good, there's absolutely nothing to complain about. It's so satisfying to watch this. I love it! Can we read it together? Okay, enough said.

The author is simply divine! The male lead's brooding obsession is vividly portrayed, full of feeling. The female lead is also adorable; despite all the male lead's obsessions, she still chooses to love him. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, I really love it. The author's writing is superb; I haven't seen such a masterpiece in a long time. It deserves full stars! Keep up the good work, author, please update frequently!
