Jiang Xieyi and Lu Min had been married for seven years, and they were still as loving as ever. Everyone in their circle knew them as the perfect couple.
Everyone thought Lu Min was just like his name: gentle and refined, full of compassion and patience for everything around him
Even his wife thought so.
What nobody knew was that he had installed tracking chips in every phone Jiang Xieyi owned and hidden cameras in every corner of their home. He monitored and listened in on everything she did. Even the way he had gently comforted her after a breakup when they were students was a lie. He had been the one to sabotage the person Jiang Xieyi had a crush on back then.
They had been married for seven years, and Lu Min thought it was time for Jiang Xieyi to learn the truth. So a few days later, Jiang Xieyi “accidentally” found her husband's diary in their bedroom, where he had written down everything.
Everything went exactly as he had expected.
He watched his wife panting hard, her hands covering her face in disbelief, leaving only her beautiful, terrified eyes visible as she looked at him.
Just as he had imagined: the same reaction, the same pale beauty.
But the next day, Jiang Xieyi acted as if nothing had happened. She went to work as usual and kissed his forehead every morning and evening as usual.
Something had slipped out of his control, and he began to feel uneasy.
A few days later, he “accidentally” found his wife's diary in their bedroom, too.
[I bought him a gift, and he loved it. He loves everything about me... so he'll love the tracker I put inside it, right?]
[He went to the same shop that sells tracking chips. I'll be getting a new gift soon, won't I? I'm so happy.]
[He turned on his computer. He's looking at the bedroom camera, watching me... Darling, I'm watching you too. We're looking at each other.]
Jiang Xieyi stood in the doorway. When she saw him look up, the smile at the corner of her lips grew wider and wider. “Were you happy with how I reacted that day?”
Her husband had only seen her cover her face in terror and disbelief. He hadn't noticed the twisted smile lifting the corners of her lips beneath her hands.
Watching his expression, she looked satisfied and tender. “I was happy with your reaction, too.”
We're alike. How wonderful.
1. Healthy love is precious, of course, but twisted feelings are just so compelling. This couple is seriously messed up, and neither of them is a good person. They really aren't good people, so please don't read if that bothers you.
2. One-on-one romance, both characters sexually inexperienced, but not suitable for readers with strong preferences about either character.
3. A cruel joke: #One day, the two of them finally decided to spare each other and stop buying tracking devices. The next day, half the world's tracking device manufacturers went bankrupt after losing their biggest customer...#
