    The first book is really good-looking, both sweet and sad. Everyone thought he hated him, including himself. But... The day she died, he entered the path of immortality and jumped into the endless purgatory. He stepped over countless corpses floating in the Wangchuan River, and searched through the underworld inch by inch. The underworld was shaking, two ghosts were howling, and the gods on both sides of the Taiwan Strait changed their expressions upon hearing this. Everyone said he was crazy. Only he knows that he just wants to find someone. Her wife, his... Nian Nian. The second book is the same, sweet first and then cruel. Oh! Just a reminder, this book is a bit perverted, so I don't want to get into it by mistake. It's written by both men. After Xu Mi was imprisoned for three months, he was killed by Chen Huangnian just because he said goodbye. It was then that he realized that his boyfriend was a sociopath. When he opened his eyes again, he went back to ten years ago, when they were most in love. Xu Mi wanted to stop Chen Huangnian from making mistakes. But at every crime scene, Chen Huangnian would appear behind him eerily, smiling and hugging her. As the timelines overlapped again, Xu Mi finally understood that Chen Huangnian was completing cat and mouse with him. He is a mouse and Chen Huangnian is a cat. And... What Chen Huangnian did was all because of him
