[Two Male Leads | Pure Love | Short Story | Unhinged and Obsessive | Confinement | Reconciliation After a Breakup | Bittersweet | HE]
In the fifth year of his secret love for Gu Lizhuo, Wen Chijian had hidden 372 photos of him.
He picked up tissues Gu had used and got the same kind of ear piercings as him, treating that person as a light hidden deep in his heart, one he dared not touch.
He thought this was a humble, unrequited love that no one knew about. But he had no idea:
Every meeting was a carefully laid trap.
Every discarded item was bait to lure him in.
Gu Lizhuo seemed refined and gentle in public, but inside he was so obsessive he was utterly mad.
From the very first glance, he had laid a vast web, waiting for Wen Chijian to walk right into it.
The piercing studio tore away his gentle facade. Captivity, possession, and an all-consuming entanglement followed.
Driven to the brink, Wen Chijian faked his death and escaped. He stayed away for two whole years.
When they met again, he had changed his name and become Gu Lizhuo's personal assistant.
The once-obedient boy now showed all his sharp edges, while the unhinged obsessive was even worse than before.
"Where do you think you're running this time?"
He runs, Gu pursues, and neither can ever escape.
In the winds of You Sa City, love and hate are hopelessly entwined, an endless struggle to the death.
This time, neither of them will leave the other's world.
⚠️ Warning:
There are scenes of everyday confinement. Readers uncomfortable with controlling relationships, proceed with caution. Neither lead is abused.
No moral standards here, just two madmen locked in an intense tug-of-war between love and hate. This isn't a conventional sweet romance. A short story with a touch of angst and bitterness!
