   An antisocial, mentally unstable sister versus an upright, resolute, and seemingly "sunny" detective brother. An accident forces the siblings apart for 11 years. When they meet again, he is an upright detective, and she is a criminal suspect. In the interrogation room. "Sang Yi, 19 years old, indifferent to others, lacking morality, and devoid of empathy. Poor social adaptation, unstable emotional control, and frequent auditory and visual hallucinations in daily life. Typical antisocial personality disorder, accompanied by intermittent schizophrenia." Pei Yu closes the folder in his hand, looking at the girl in front of him with a deep gaze. "You should thank your counselor for providing your medical records, otherwise you would definitely be sentenced to death." Sang Yi looks at the man standing in front of her, her eyes filled with barely suppressed emotion. What should she do? It's hard to resist having him in front of her. She doesn't want to just be a brother; she wants him to belong to her completely. But having been completely shrouded in darkness, can she receive her brother's redemption once again?

   There's no romantic pairing. The protagonist has a strong masculine presence; he's a soldier who has suffered from autism since childhood. While in the army, he also has a teammate with PTSD, making him incredibly charismatic. The story is ensemble-like, and later, in order to undergo treatment through a system, he enters the entertainment industry, where he gains a group of friends. (OS: Actually, I feel that the protagonist has a bit of a charmer quality, captivating everyone in the book, but not romantically. It's more about friendship, family ties, or the pure affection of fans. I was also quite captivated by his character's charm.)

    Reader note

    Just finished reading it. It has a really strong aftertaste… * [Main Plot] (First of all, the entire book revolves around the main plot of revenge, and the protagonist is intelligent, logically sound, and well-developed. There are foreshadowing elements, and the ending is long-lasting.) Synopsis: A girl, consumed by injustice, makes a deal with a demon: she will use everything she has to destroy the "sun" fueled by human lives and money! When you discover the devilish side of your loved one… or when you swallow that "fruit of love" in despair… or when the thing you crave, called love, weaves all your resentment and despair into a blood-red net, slowly flowing… Please turn your gaze outside; the snow is still falling… * [Personal Experience] Moreover, I read 3/5 of this book and then, more than half a year later, I picked it up while browsing my bookshelf today. To my surprise, I not only hadn't forgotten the plot, but I quickly picked it up again (although I did find some minor foreshadowing and such in the comments section, since it had been quite a while). And it truly captivated me; it's a good novel, and it's worth my time… Personally, I think a truly good novel makes me believe that the characters in the book are simply living in another parallel universe, and I accidentally discovered their story, nothing more. I've finished reading it now, and I still feel a bit down sometimes. It'll probably be hard to find a book like this on Tomato Bookstore again. I feel like Eun-sun shouldn't have such a mysterious ending, yet I also feel that her and their ending should be like seeing the last leaf fall from a bare tree in winter… * [Warning] If you're just looking for a short-term thrill, or if you prefer lighthearted Korean romance, I don't recommend this book… because it has a lot of foreshadowing, and the whole story is quite interconnected, so it won't provide immediate satisfaction. * [Author's Writing Style] The author writes with a cinematic feel, immersing the reader in the story and making them visualize the scenes. If you've watched the Korean drama "Dark Glory," I feel this is the same vibe (not an exaggeration, it's really, really good). * [Notes] If you want to learn more, please refer to the synopsis. I'm not very good at explaining it because I feel its plot can't be condensed into a concise paragraph (the synopsis at the beginning is mine, but I recommend reading the author's synopsis). * [Ending Appreciation] But these are just everyone's speculations. No one knows where Xu Zhi'ai went. She was like a gust of wind that swept across the peninsula, leaving no trace. * —End— * (But I actually prefer the ending of the last chapter of the extra chapter because I only felt the story should have a happy ending after he (one of the main male characters) died, so I cut it out.) — The snow is still falling outside. * [Eun-sun, — I hope this pure white snow can bury the injustice and darkness, — I hope that in this pure white snow, you have reached the heaven of happiness.] (The last part is my personal reflection… it really has a strong aftertaste…)
