[A seductive, motherly eldritch god teacher × an insecure, world-weary, gloomy girl]
1v1, relationship development, mildly yandere, supernatural. The tone is a little heavy at first.
Ji Shu × Tong Qi
The protagonist has psychological problems she doesn't recognize, and the eldritch god initially appears human.
Her father's endless verbal abuse and the successive deaths of her friends had begun to numb Tong Qi. Love felt impossibly far away, and she felt like a jinx whom everyone hated.
Her downward spiral in life came to a halt when she met Ji Shu.
Her father's blind date and the strange teacher at her best friend's school, who was always wearing a scarf, turned out to be the same person...
Unfortunately, not long after they'd started spending time together, her alcoholic father suddenly died in the wilderness. Ji Shu moved in with Tong Qi, saying it was because of her poor mental state.
Strangely, the pain from her nightmares and hallucinations seemed to ease only when she was close to Ji Shu. Tong Qi, who had grown numb to pain, began to feel a dull ache in her heart again.
The joy of being accepted and affirmed in every way can bring a person to tears. It was only after her father died that she gained something she'd never had in her life.
Love. Unreserved love.
Every tear is proof that a person is alive. When the thing called emotion builds up too much inside the body, it can't help overflowing, and that's when it crystallizes into a gem.
But Ji Shu didn't want Tong Qi to give her gems to those vile people anymore.
She gently brushed the corner of Tong Qi's eye and lowered her gaze.
"Mom won't let you cry for anyone else again."
"Those are the most precious things humans have. From now on, give them only to Mom, okay?"
Theme: Don't be so pessimistic when life hits a low point.
