He no longer fell into the traps Shi Xingxiao had prepared for him, but instead pushed people step by step into the abyss he had once inhabited. 💖 Those who have died once have greater courage. But watching Ci Shen give his heart to him time and time again... 🔪🔪 Shi Ling dared not continue. An encounter based on exploitation was not worthy of him continuing. He was a lonely soul, unworthy of love. Shi Ling wanted to say no, but someone grabbed his neck and pinned him to a corner: Come and go as you please?

    🌈After reading both novels, I felt that compared to the pain brought by male characters, the pain from family relationships was the real knife. 🍀1. In the first book, the female protagonist wasn't exactly someone dispensable in her family. No one cared about her well-being, but whenever something bad happened, it was always blamed on her. 🍁2. Her parents hated her for breaking up their lovers, her half-brother treated her as a bargaining chip, and her father, feeling guilty towards her brother, condoned this behavior, repeatedly sending her to scumbags and leaving her scarred.
