   Yan Yizhi, seemingly an ordinary online writer, is awakened in the dead of night by the whispers of a demon who murdered his parents. Beneath the warm exterior built by his engineer father and teacher mother, a facade forged with half a lifetime of blood and sweat, lies such a maddening thought! When the shackles of morality shatter, is it a collapse of humanity or something else entirely? This is not ordinary urban life, but a dark experiment that drags you into a psychological purgatory. The author dissects appearances with surgical precision: those overworked office workers, the fake likes on social media, the silent sacrifices of parents—all are shackles imprisoning the soul. When the dark personality repressed for 30 years finally awakens, who is the real prey? The most deadly twists are hidden in the details: the suffocating feeling during each writing session, the mysterious disappearance of sleeping pills from his parents' room, and the gradually distorting reflection in the mirror… When reality and illusion intertwine, are you sure the story you're writing isn't rewriting your own destiny? Click to read and experience the suffocating thrill of your heart being swallowed by darkness. Remember, some stories, once opened, can never be closed again—because the deepest prison is always in the darkest corner of the human heart.
