Falling for You

A warmhearted little angel who seems cold on the outside × a gentle maniac who is not what he seems

Ji Yining first met Shen Ruheng at a matchmaking banquet. Through a twist of fate, they mistook each other for the person they were supposed to meet.

A mix-up brought them together.

Shen Ruheng was gentle, considerate, and handsome, exactly the kind of man she dreamed of dating. As they spent more and more time together, Ji Yining fell into his tender embrace.

Her friend was puzzled. "Don't you think he's way too clingy?"

Her tutoring student warned her. "There's something wrong with him!"

The matchmaking prospect she'd missed that night cautioned her. "Your boyfriend seems kind of off!"

Ji Yining: You don't understand. His family situation is complicated, so it's understandable that he sometimes takes things too far. He just loves me too much.

Until she discovered that Shen Ruheng had been monitoring her for months. She could no longer come up with a reasonable explanation for his behavior.

That night, Ji Yining woke up in the basement of his private estate, a secret place Shen Ruheng had never let her set foot in.

The walls were covered in photos of her, from the age of fifteen until now, without a single gap. The glass cabinets were filled with things she had mysteriously lost in high school: hair ties, discarded drafts, and a school uniform with a piece cut off.

Ji Yining wanted to run. Her face drained of color as she watched the man approach at an unhurried pace.

Shen Ruheng gripped her hand and forced the sharp knife toward his chest.

His eyes were bloodshot. Nearly crazed, yet brimming with anticipation, he murmured:

"Harder, baby."

"Don't leave me."

"I'm growing inside your body, listening to your breathing and heartbeat, flowing through every drop of your blood. Then I'll never have to worry about being abandoned again."

"We'll never be apart."
