99 Days Until We Break Up: He’s Got Me Locked in His Sights

[Transmigrate into a book + severely socially anxious heroine + obsessive, unhinged hero + mutually faithful couple + utterly sweet romance]

Su Nian has severe social anxiety. Even a touch can make her hyperventilate.

“Day 45. It seems I can’t get away. But I still have to run.”

The boy let out a low laugh, his eyes brimming with an obsessive, dark tide as he trapped her between his arms.
