    Reader note

    The protagonist was diagnosed with severe depression at the age of 14, attempted suicide multiple times, and has many scars on his wrists. He was even discovered attempting suicide several times. His description of his illness is very realistic. He posted a video on social media, in which a small corner of the scars on the protagonist's wrist is visible. The caption reads: "What are freedom and love? I may never have them in my life. A butterfly lands on my fingertip, and I admire its beauty. The butterfly's life is short but beautiful and free, yet it is a scavenger, emanating a wretchedness from its soul. But its outward beauty makes me forget its wretchedness for a moment. I am a bird bound by the inherent rules of the world, spreading my wings to soar freely into the sky, but reality always delivers a heavy blow. The mockery of words and the distortion of my mind have made me close myself off, becoming a bird caged for people's amusement. From meeting him to falling in love, fate has been so unfair; I don't quite understand. This year I am twenty-two years old, and I have lived my life in a complete mess. I started thinking about the meaning of life when I was thirteen." Before meeting him, I lived in a daze. After meeting him, I realized why some people are handsome, academically gifted, and from open-minded families. Compared to him, I was like mud in the ground. Tears scalded that winter. I gave in to my father and went abroad. Would he hate me for leaving without saying goodbye, for abandoning me? Just a few months ago, we were sharing our deepest feelings. I can't turn back, and I can't go back. Before I left, I didn't even have a chance to tell him, "I love you." During the time I was away from him, I even contemplated suicide. I had no reason to live. I couldn't contact him. I hated my cowardice, my incompetence, I hated myself. I was like barren land; his appearance brought me back to life. He pulled me out of the abyss countless times, but I had nothing to give him in return. The infatuation of youth is pure and passionate, but I'm not sure how long it will last. Maybe it's just youthful folly. When I see him again, will he be married with children? But he loves me so much; he won't. I don't know. I really wanted to curse him so he'd only have me, but that would be too selfish. Never mind. As long as he's safe and sound. I wonder if you'll see this video. Happy birthday today. I miss you so much.

    This is originally an E-EA relationship. After E marks A, A can't accept it, which feels a bit like forced love. Later, there's a part where A would rather endure her heat than accept E's pheromones. During that time, A received about 50 injections of suppressants and took a lot of other suppressants. She was taking them excessively, like she was going to overdo it, swallowing handfuls at a time. She didn't take care of herself at all. A is also an orphan with some psychological issues, which explains her self-harming behavior. She also lacks emotional intelligence. There are some angst-filled moments, but I highly recommend it.
