[Text BE｜Restrained yandere male protagonist × disappearing badminton champion female protagonist｜Suspense × sadomasochism｜Please enter with caution] On October 15, 2026, the national badminton champion Ruan Yan disappeared out of thin air the night his glory on the podium faded. After two years of search and rescue in the city, there were very few clues, and her name finally became a dusty unsolved case in Haicheng's files. The focus of the police's attention has always been on one person - the then-unparalleled technological upstart, Chen Yi. Surveillance footage captured Ruan Yan getting into the black Bentley after the award night and never appeared again. Time has dulled the intensity of the search, and everyone agrees that Ruan Yan is no longer alive. It wasn't until two years later that criminal investigation team leader Chen Mo bumped into the girl named Shen Qinghuan in Queenstown, New Zealand. 25 Years old, Chinese illustrator, Chen Yi's righteous wife. She has a face that is 60% similar to Ruan Yan, but she lacks the sharpness and tenacity on the field, and is more soft and cowardly; her identity information is impeccable, as if she was born to be Shen Qinghuan. But the flaws are hidden in the subtleties—— When she sees the badminton racket, her fingertips get cold and her whole body trembles. In her dreams late at night, she keeps murmuring a strange name: "Ruan Yan". The look in Chen Yi's eyes when he looked at her was never the tenderness of a lover, but the paranoid ecstasy of finding something lost, or the almost crazy possession and confinement. The arms covered under the cuffs of his shirt were covered with dense, interlaced deep and shallow old knife marks. The gears of the investigation turned again, and the old traces from ten years ago were uncovered one by one: On the rooftop on Valentine's Day in 2016, the girl made a clumsy confession; the love letter spread throughout the school became the beginning of her being bullied on campus; and then, she hurriedly transferred to another school and completely disappeared from his world. In the interlayer of Chen Yi's wallet, there is an old letter with white edges and blurred writing; in the safe in the study room, there are 23 yellowed air tickets, densely marked with the number of competitions played by the same girl, from youth to peak. He spent two years carefully weaving a "rebirth" scam, thinking that he could put the broken past together and rewrite the regretful ending. But he forgot that some pain is engraved in the bones and blood, seeping into the texture. Even if it is deliberately buried, even if it is disguised desperately, it will eventually break out at a certain moment—— I would rather die than be redeemed. [Highlights] 1. The male protagonist is yandere and restrained, paranoid and crazy, with a hidden line in the early stage and full tension in the later stage; 2. The line of suspense runs throughout, old cases are intertwined with unsolved cases, and the reversals are endless; 3. The whole process of sadomasochism, the ending of BE is irreversible, be careful with the glass heart. Concept: Love is precious, freedom is even more valuable!
