Once Adrift, Now Bound

I still remember how deeply I loved you, how I once tied up a returning boat. The green fields and red bridge, the things we shared back then. You're gone, and only the water flows on.

Fake cheating, fake scum-and-doormat dynamics, an in-marriage story.

Compared with my previous works, there's no improvement in the theme or the plot. It's just a story that delivers one angsty thrill after another, with a bit of melodrama.

You could call it a companion piece to Hedgehog. I liked the characters and had built up a few chapters, so after ending my contract, I started this one first. Updates every night at eight.

Ji Yuzhou is expressionless, quiet, and arrogant. Lin Zhan seems gentle on the surface, but is obsessive to the core. He'd risk his life and even drag the emperor off his throne. Neither of them is good at expressing himself. It's a story about putting each other through one ordeal after another.

"I loved Ji Yuzhou so much back then. Just saying those three syllables made my heart go soft. I always seemed to have a thousand things I wanted to tell him, but when I finally stood in front of him, I couldn't say a word. For at least three whole years, I did everything for him behind his back, yet when I stood before him, I didn't even dare look him in the eye."
