   If you think "torture" is the helplessness of fate, the regret of never being able to go back, the "I love you" that can never be said until death—then *Butterfly in the Dust* is even more torturous. Because it gives you no hope. Zhang Zhiming searched for ten years, found her, but felt more desperate than if he hadn't found her at all. Die'er waited her whole life, waiting for the day she could tell the truth, but it would never come. This kind of torment is the bittersweet feeling that lingers in the night after you close the book, the sudden tightness in your heart when you pass through the misty rain of Jiangnan years later. If you think "torture" is the ultimate sensory shock, the double torment of body and dignity, the tearing apart of extreme hatred and extreme love—then *Bone-Deep Danger* is even more torturous. Because it breaks down and exposes all the torment for you. Every bit of suffering Jian Tong endures, every bit of regret Shen Xiujin later feels, is bloody and shocking. This kind of torment is the intense pleasure you can experience while reading—an addictive feeling of being tortured to the point of tingling scalp but unable to stop.

    Title: I'm the Villain in Everyone's Eyes, But I Love Her No Less Than Anyone Else—Reading "Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust" from Xiao Qihao's Perspective --- The world all condemns me, Xiao Qihao, as sinister, obsessive, and ruthless. They're right. I'm the illegitimate son of the Zhang family, taking my mother's surname, without a legitimate status, and raised under someone else's roof since childhood. I'm jealous of Zhang Zhiming—jealous of his status as a legitimate son, jealous of his substantial family fortune, and even more jealous that he married the only woman I ever wanted in my life. Lin Die'er. --- From the first moment I saw her, I knew I was doomed. She was a daughter of a prestigious family, with exquisite features and an unyielding spirit. Zhang Zhiming was incredibly accommodating to her, yet her eyes were filled with impatience and disdain. I saw it clearly—she didn't love him. Since she didn't love him, why couldn't I be placed beside her? Once this thought took root, it could never be uprooted. I began to spy on her daily routine, hiding behind the artificial hill to watch her sit alone by the pond, lost in thought. When she wasn't around, I would sneak into her courtyard and stare intently at the rouge box on her dressing table. I even made a move on Ping'er, simply because she was the closest person to Die'er. Die'er rushed to me, demanding that I marry Ping'er properly. I smiled and said to her, "The position of my legal wife has always belonged to you." Her eyes were like knives, cursing me as shameless. But I didn't care. I only cared about her. --- I finally got her, but she never belonged to me. I bribed Zhang's mother, forged a letter of divorce, and imprisoned Die'er in a separate courtyard. That night, I said to her: "Your mother-in-law has long since betrothed you to me." She cried, struggled, her heart breaking. I kissed her, but she didn't respond, only tears streamed down her face. At dawn, I pushed open the door and left. She was curled up in a corner, her clothes disheveled, her eyes empty. I thought I had won. But later I learned that she was pregnant with Zhang Zhiming's child. To keep the child alive, she made me believe it was mine. She gritted her teeth, trying to please me, closing her eyes and letting me kiss her, but murmuring another man's name where I couldn't hear. At night, she slept in my arms, murmuring in her sleep—"Zhiming…" Those two words were like a knife, piercing my heart. I tightened my arms, whispering in her ear, "It's okay. It doesn't matter who you call in your dreams. In this life, you can only lie beside me." But I couldn't deceive myself. I had her body, but never her heart. --- I gave her all my kindness, yet she wouldn't even give me a genuine smile. I poured all my love into her. I made the villa exquisite and warm, gathered her favorite snacks and treasures, stayed by her side every day, carefully caring for her, putting aside all my malice, learning to be gentle and accommodating. But the look in her eyes was always devoid of warmth. I was unwilling. I was insanely jealous of Zhang Zhiming. Why? Why could she be so unforgettable to him when he did nothing? I gave everything, yet I couldn't earn a single genuine smile from her. I became addicted to opium, trying to numb myself with it. I wanted to forget her, but I couldn't. --- She disappeared, and the rest of my life was filled with searching and regret. My mother sold her to a brothel while I was in seclusion trying to quit opium. When I emerged from seclusion and learned the news, I searched frantically, scouring every street and alley, but I found no trace of her. The child I believed to be Ping'er's was the one I cherished and cared for. I named him "Yi'an"—meaning "unwavering" and "peaceful." I poured all my guilt, indebtedness, and obsession with Die'er into this child. I believed until my death that he was my own flesh and blood. I never discovered the silver necklace she left behind tucked into the swaddling clothes. --- When news of her death arrived, my world collapsed. Years of searching, and what I finally received was news of her death. The woman I longed for but could never have, the woman who ruined half my life and whom I also ruined, she was dead. She took a bullet for someone else, giving her life for another man. I didn't even get to see her one last time, not even a chance to apologize. I held the golden butterfly hairpin she left in the villa, shutting myself away for three days, refusing to eat or drink. I remembered that night she said to me, "I'm just your trophy." I said to the air, word by word— "Die'er, I love you. Because you are you, not some trophy." No one heard. She won't hear me either. --- I'm not a good person, but I truly loved. Everyone says Xiao Qihao is a villain, a scoundrel, the murderer who ruined Die'er's life. I won't defend myself. But I want you to know—my love for her was no less than anyone else's. I just used the wrong method, the wrong method from the very beginning. If I could have met her sooner, if I could have pursued her openly and honestly, if I wasn't Zhang's illegitimate son, if I could have controlled that jealousy and obsession—would the ending have been different? No one can answer me. She will never come back. --- Epilogue: I poured all my guilt and longing for Die'er into the front lines of the War of Resistance. I could turn my blade against my brother, but never against my country. For the rest of my life, I devoted myself to supporting the war effort, teaching that child to love and be good, and spending my life atoning for the sins I had committed. Ping'er became my legal wife, and we had two more children. But the place in my heart remained empty. I know I am not worthy to say I love her. But if there is a next life—I hope I can stand before her with dignity and say: "Miss Lin, hello. My name is Xiao Qihao. I am not anyone's illegitimate child, nor anyone's substitute. I am just someone who wants to get to know you." --- If you have ever loved someone to the point of obsession, read *Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust*. There are no purely good people here, nor purely bad people. There is only a man named Xiao Qihao who loved someone he should never have loved in the most wrong way. The end, and I feel unsatisfied. 😢🥺😢

    Zhu Ming roared, and the destructive red flames surged once more. He gripped his greatsword with both hands and charged towards Eve, who (controlled by Luo Hao) pointed her spear directly at him. Time suddenly froze. The flying debris stopped in mid-air, the dust billowed like a nebula, and Zhu Ming's sword swing abruptly halted. The raging red flames seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, frozen in place. The space around him distorted unnaturally. "Now!" Eve seized this fleeting opportunity, her figure vanishing instantly. Instead of a direct thrust, she used 'spatial teleportation,' appearing like a ghost around Zhu Ming, each afterimage simultaneously thrusting out her golden-flamed spear! Front, back, above, ribs... Countless spear shadows enveloped the time-frozen Zhu Ming, leaving him with no way to dodge! Eve's true form transformed into a golden lightning bolt, her spear aimed straight at Zhu Ming's brow. Just as the spear tip was about to touch her skin— "Clang! Clang! Clang!..." The greatsword, seemingly out of nowhere, blocked all the attacks with an unimaginable angle and movement. Zhu Ming's lips curled into an arrogant smile: "Time stopped? No wonder your body lags behind for a few seconds. Interesting." Eve quickly retreated, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. He used spatial teleportation again, this time launching attacks from eight different angles simultaneously, each afterimage real and authentic. Seeing the impenetrable attack around him, Zhu Ming abruptly plunged the greatsword into the ground. Instantly, centered on him, the destructive energy of dark red flames erupted like a volcanic eruption, forcefully repelling the golden spear's series of thrusts. The massive shockwave blew away all the surrounding debris, clearing a huge circular battlefield. Eve's chest was also slashed open by the sword energy Zhu Ming had just unleashed, revealing a deep, bone-revealing wound. She quickly used her ultimate healing ability to instantly heal the wound. Zhu Ming's attack followed immediately. He stepped forward, his sword slashing fiercely at Eve's head. Suddenly, a beam of light shone on Eve, blocking Zhu Ming's strike. "Holy Light - Full Counter!" Zhu Ming's greatsword struck the beam, sending her flying several meters away. His hands were split open, blood flowing down the hilt of his sword, which nearly slipped from his grasp. Eve pressed her advantage, her hands forming a fist, and a rift opened in the void. Countless golden chains, like giant pythons emerging from their lair, instantly bound Zhu Ming's limbs. Zhu Ming pulled on the chains, uttering a soft cry: "Child's play!" Suddenly, a burst of fiery red flames erupted from his body, shattering the golden chains. But after the golden chains shattered, translucent chains shimmering with an eerie light were revealed. These chains moved, ignoring the crimson flames protecting Zhu Ming's body, penetrating directly into his mind and coiling around his sea of thoughts, even... Touching his soul. This power hidden beneath the golden chains was no longer merely a chain binding his body, but a chain capable of entangling and imprisoning his soul. The chains tightened, emitting a trembling hum that resonated at the soul level. Zhu Ming felt as if his source of power was being forcibly stripped and suppressed by countless cold, venomous snakes. He roared in agony, struggling, the crimson flames erupting again and again, shattering the chains, but the broken chains were immediately replenished from the void, endlessly. The other end of the chains disappeared into nothingness, dragging Zhu Ming towards an unknown dimension. "Got you, Zhu Ming! How much longer can you hold on?!" Eve gasped heavily; using so many abilities simultaneously, she too had reached her limit. Zhu Ming roared, his muscles bulging like rocks: "I'll hold on until you die!" As soon as he spoke, a chain-like force ripped at his soul, causing him excruciating pain and forcing him to his knees. The greatsword supported his body, and he was surrounded by chains of ghostly light, red flames burning on his wounds and flickering erratically on his skin. The situation between the two had now become a contest of strength, like two evenly matched individuals locked in a desperate tug-of-war. Eve's breathing grew increasingly heavy, and fine cracks began to appear beneath her fair skin, like porcelain about to shatter. The energy output maintaining the countless void chains had exceeded the limits of her artificial body. Golden holy light and ghostly green healing light flickered violently around her, like an unstable light bulb—the different consciousnesses within her desperately trying to maintain balance, yet still unable to prevent collapse. "Damn it… my body… has reached its limit!" Bai Zhenghu's voice cried out in his sea of consciousness, filled with unprecedented panic. "Hold on! Just a little bit more!" Luo Hao roared, trying to squeeze out the last bit of strength. However, the critical point was breached. "Crack—" A soft yet chilling cracking sound came from inside Eve's chest. The light flowing around her suddenly dimmed, extinguished as if a power outage had occurred. The eerie chains of light that had been continuously shooting out from the void and binding Zhu Ming's soul, as if their source had been severed, instantly became illusory, and then—snapped with a bang! Dissipating into nothingness! The terrifying pulling force exerted on Zhu Ming's soul suddenly disappeared! "Ugh…!" Eve coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her knees buckled, almost collapsing to the ground, only able to support herself with her weapon, which had reverted to its staff form. Her body swayed like a candle in the wind, and the cracks under her skin multiplied, emitting a flickering, gradually dissipating light. Zhu Ming's restraints were gone. The battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Only Zhu Ming's heavy, suppressed breathing could be heard, like the whimper of a dying beast. He remained kneeling on one knee, his greatsword planted before him, his head bowed, obscuring his expression. But the crimson flames surrounding him did not reignite with the disappearance of the chains; instead, as if alive, they contracted, condensed, and settled inward… finally transforming into a dark red halo, like congealed blood, clinging tightly to his body and flowing slowly. It was no longer a raging, outward-flowing flame, but magma compressed to its extreme, containing destructive power. Suddenly, he moved. He slowly, extremely slowly, raised his head. What kind of eyes were those? The previous savagery and madness had almost vanished, replaced by an extreme, cold, pure killing intent that froze the soul. Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if two clusters of dark red hellfire were burning silently. He did not roar, he did not howl, but simply stared, without blinking, at the swaying Eve in the distance. Then, he grasped the hilt of the greatsword stuck in the ground. "Buzz—!" The greatsword emitted a deep, resonant hum that echoed throughout the entire battlefield. The dark red patterns on its blade glowed like veins, mirroring the radiance of the magma on his body. He straightened up. The movement wasn't fast, yet it carried a heavy, oppressive weight, like a mountain collapsing. With each inch he rose, the surrounding space solidified, an invisible pressure spreading outwards from him, making it difficult for Eve, who was barely holding on in the distance, to breathe. He dragged the greatsword and began to walk. His footsteps landed silently, but the ruins beneath his feet instantly turned to the finest dust upon contact—not shattered, but directly "erased" by the destructive force that wiped everything away. One step, two steps…
