   When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside, and the car was parked in a quiet parking lot. Lu Zhiyan's suit jacket was neatly draped over me, and he was leaning against the car door. A cigarette was between his fingers, and wisps of white smoke swirled around him. I lowered my voice and whispered, "Lu Zhiyan, why didn't you wake me?" Hearing my voice, he immediately stubbed out his cigarette, turned to look at me, and said in an extremely soft voice, "Last night I saw you were sleeping so soundly, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I let you rest in the car a little longer." My fingertips trembled slightly, and I lowered my head, clutching the black suit jacket tightly. The fabric was cool and soft, and it carried a faint, cool scent of cedar, a scent etched deep in my memory, a scent unique to Lu Zhiyan. Five whole years, we had been separated for five whole years. This was the first time in all these years that we had spent a whole night together in peace. The familiar scent enveloped me, a surge of longing mingled with subtle sadness, layer upon layer pressing against my heart. I stared at his handsome yet weary profile… [laughs]

    The first book is definitely brutal for the male lead—no, not even the male lead, they're all killed off. The female lead is stunningly beautiful, a cold-blooded killer with no emotions—it's incredibly captivating, just not suitable for soft-hearted readers. The female lead remains completely unmoved throughout; she's only in it for the sake of acquiring skills. Every man she seduces ends up being killed by her. The second book doesn't torture the female lead either. The male lead suffers in some worlds and not others, but he doesn't torture the female lead in any of them.
