Surviving in the Rainforest with My Obsessive Ex-Husband

Obsessive, possessive ex-husband x a PhD with incredible obliviousness (so oblivious it took her three years to realize he was a yandere)

Lin Pingguo found herself in a survival game. The only way to win and get out alive was to be the last one standing.

And the map was a tropical rainforest.

Good news: She's a biology PhD specializing in tropical rainforests.

Bad news: Her ex-husband, He Yuan, is in the game too. If he finds her, there's a good chance he'll kill her on the spot.

Three years ago, Lin Pingguo and He Yuan were the perfect couple, admired by everyone.

He Yuan was gentle and considerate. Every day after work, he would come home and ask her all about what had happened that day.

He seemed to know all the little things before they happened.

How thoughtful. She was truly happy.

Until one rainy night, she happened to glance down an alley...

The cold rain washed the blood from the knife in the man's hand. A flash of lightning lit up his face

Her husband, He Yuan.

Lin Pingguo spent the whole night having nightmares. At times like that, He Yuan would kiss the back of her neck and whisper, “Go to sleep. I'm here.”

His once-gentle touch now felt like a venomous snake coiling around her neck. She was terrified of him.

Lin Pingguo found an excuse to divorce him, and, to her surprise, He Yuan didn't put up much of a fight.

He Yuan tidied up their home for her one last time, and Lin Pingguo was very grateful.

He left behind lots of glittery-eyed plush toys, dragonfly hair clips, and crystal wall hangings.

In the survival game, Lin Pingguo has to dodge other players trying to kill her while also escaping her obsessive ex-husband.

But every morning when she wakes up, He Yuan is gazing tenderly at her side, like a lover.

Lin Pingguo is horrified and tries to run, but he wraps his arms around her from behind. He Yuan lets out a soft sigh:

“Are you afraid of me?”

Lin Pingguo finally snaps:

“How long are you going to keep pretending to be a good person, you psycho?!”

He Yuan's dark pupils contract, like a venomous serpent, and then he smiles.

“So you knew.”

“I was going to let you go, but you looked so beautiful on the surveillance footage. I... just couldn't help myself.”

Lin Pingguo's back goes numb.

The glittery eyes on those plush toys, dragonfly hair clips, and crystal wall hangings were all over her home. And all of them...

Were cameras.

One-on-one, single-couple romance, happy ending.

The story is melodramatic, the heroine isn't a strong character, and the male lead is an absurdly obsessive yandere with no sense of morality.

Some descriptions are graphic, as befits a survival game.

I just wanted to write about a warped love in a situation where life hangs by a thread. This is a niche taste, so don't read if it's not for you.

All contestants in this game are guilty of crimes.

Innocent, well-mannered girl-next-door x obsessive, possessive older brother

Shen Wangshu arrived aboard a cruise ship of glittering luxury.

When she boarded, she was told the rules:

During the day, pretend to be a regular passenger enjoying the cruise. At night, do whatever you like. Survive to the end.

At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a gimmick.

It wasn't until gunshots rang out that Shen Wangshu realized the rules had to be followed.

And the cruise ship had already left the shore.

*

She'd thought she could just hide in her room at night, but an opponent came looking for her!

With a pursuer hot on her heels, Shen Wangshu ran for her life.

In her panic, she spotted an open cabin door, its warm light illuminating the desperate darkness.

Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, Shen Wangshu rushed inside

And saw Qi Yan.

The older brother she'd lived with day and night before learning they weren't blood-related.

The sound of an iron axe being dragged closer outside made Shen Wangshu tremble as she reached to close the door.

But someone grabbed her fingertips and yanked her back in front of Qi Yan.

“It's only been three years. Did you already forget to call me ‘big brother’?”

*

That day, someone saw Shen Wangshu come out of Qi Yan's cabin.

From then on, their daytime roles were to pretend to be lovers.

Shen Wangshu regretted entering his cabin that night so much. Now she had to pretend to be her own brother's lover.

They pressed together in the pool, embraced in the billiard room, and kissed in the cinema.

As he kissed her until her eyes were wet with tears and her cheeks were flushed, Shen Wangshu thought in despair that she was going to hell.

But she soon discovered that this was only the beginning.

Even at night, when there were no rules.

A scorching embrace closed around her from behind. Qi Yan gripped Shen Wangshu's chin and tilted her head up, making her gaze meet her own in the mirror.

“Relax, little sister.”

“So good... You took it all.”

“When you were little, you loved being in my arms. What about now? Do you like it?”

Happy ending, single-couple romance.

The leads aren't blood-related. The male lead is very, very obsessive and has absolutely no sense of morality.

Since this is a desperate cruise, some descriptions inevitably get graphic.

The author just wants to write about a warped love under the extreme pressure of survival. It's melodramatic, so don't read if that bothers you.
