Everyone has a different idea of what a “Passionate Island” means. To Lin Qixia, each person is an island. Some islands are grand and magnificent; others are unique and lonely...
To Xiao Xu, though, Lin Qixia is his Passionate Island.
On the day Xiao Xu died, Lin Qixia woke up to find she had become his next-door neighbor’s little sister.
At the time, Xiao Xu was still an unknown in the entertainment industry. Before long, though, a supporting role would make him an overnight sensation. He would go on to land one great opportunity after another, rising all the way to become a Best Actor.
Yet a year later, Xiao Xu would die under mysterious circumstances. Some said he had developed a severe mental illness; others claimed he had offended a powerful figure in the industry and met with foul play. And some even said he had taken his own life for love...
Lin Qixia, a fan devoted to his career, made a deal with the original owner of the body: they would switch identities for a year so she could find out why Xiao Xu had died.
The two spent a lovely stretch of time as “close siblings.” In private, Xiao Xu was just as gentle and kind as his fans believed him to be, practically flawless. Aside from the occasional glimpse of his forceful side, Lin Qixia couldn’t see any serious sign of mental illness. And the claim that he had offended someone seemed just as baseless, since he treated everyone impeccably.
That left only the last explanation: that he had taken his life for love? That was even more ridiculous! Ever since she arrived, Lin Qixia hadn’t seen any other woman grow close to Xiao Xu.
Then Xiao Xu was accidentally injured while protecting Lin Qixia, and that night she had a terrible dream.
Frightened, she went to find the original owner in the middle of the night and decided to switch back. First, she would stay away from Xiao Xu. Second, she would erase every trace of her time there. Third...
But she failed at the first step. After his injury, Xiao Xu seemed to undergo a complete change in temperament. He stuck to Lin Qixia like glue, practically ready to tie her to his side so she couldn’t go anywhere, as if he knew she was about to leave.
As Xiao Xu’s behavior grew more and more alarming, Lin Qixia began to blame herself, wondering if her arrival had made everything go wrong.
So she forced a switch back with the original owner.
That very night, news broke that Xiao Xu had died unexpectedly at home. Lin Qixia refused to believe it and decided to go there herself to check.
When she pushed open the pitch-black door, she saw a figure in the darkness. Xiao Xu was alive.
Like a hunter lying in wait for his prey, the man pressed forward with inexhaustible patience, cutting off every route of escape.
Xiao Xu: “Lin Qixia, this time there’s no way out.”
Only then did Lin Qixia realize that perhaps the man had deliberately arranged everything from the very beginning.
