An autistic genius artist x a sweet, sunny mute girl
[Weary of life, but in love with you]
Si Cheng was raised in the Zuo family from childhood and grew up alongside their only son, Zuo Fang.
Everyone said there was something wrong with him, but to Si Cheng, Zuo Fang had always been gentle and obedient.
Until one day, she discovered the secret in his studio...
Staring at the portraits of a girl that covered the entire wall, Si Cheng was so shocked she could barely stand.
"Are you scared?"
Zuo Fang's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Si Cheng turned around in a panic and met a pair of gloomy amber eyes.
Her heart lurched, and she tried to step back. "A-Fang, you..."
But a hand suddenly closed around her waist.
The sudden closeness left Si Cheng struggling to breathe.
Zuo Fang rested his forehead against hers and said in a low voice, almost like a sigh, "Si Cheng, do you know how much I want to lock you in this room with these paintings?"

Recently, a black-and-white photo showing only the upper half of a man began circulating among artists. He wore a black shirt with the collar slightly open. Below his sexy Adam's apple was a delicate collarbone; his broad shoulders sloped with a hint of melancholy, and his long fingers were clearly defined.
It was said to be an interview photo of Cheng, an artist who had gained countless fans over the past two years.
Since his debut, Cheng had attracted countless fans with his dark, melancholic art style. His exhibitions and solo shows were nonstop.
Because he never accepted interviews and had no social media accounts, no one knew what he looked like or anything about his background. People had even argued for ages about whether he was a man or a woman.
As soon as this photo leaked, it went viral, and countless female fans of Cheng on Weibo went wild with excitement.
"Our Cheng is definitely a peerlessly handsome man!"
"Honey, look at me!"
"Cheng is actually a man?!"
"Wait, this interview... why do I smell the sour stench of love?"
Two hours after the official interview was published, a newly created Weibo account named "Cheng" posted its first message: "Yes, I'm getting married."
Then came a second post: "You are sunshine, air, the beautiful seasons, and all the irreplaceable things that make me want to stay in this world. No one in this world could ever compare to you. @Si Cheng"
Weibo exploded.
So he even used his wife's name as his pen name?!
I hate the sky, I hate the sunshine, I hate everything beautiful in this world that makes me want to keep living.
But I love you.
-Zuo Fang
The female lead isn't actually mute, and the male lead has psychological issues.

Prelude to Captive Love
1.
Jiang Yun lost her memory in a car accident two years ago. When she woke up, she had a husband.
In the eyes of outsiders, her husband treated her well: handsome, wealthy, gentle, and attentive. Aside from being a little too controlling, he was perfect in every way.
But only Jiang Yun knew what kind of filthy depths the refined, aloof genius architect hid beneath his polished exterior by day.
On countless moonless nights, he gazed at her body with a sickly yearning.
"Relax. Let me take care of you."
Jiang Yun couldn't accept this extreme contrast. Trembling, she brought up the idea of a divorce.
His teeth pierced her skin with pinpoint accuracy.
Jiang Yun shuddered.
The man bent over her lifted his face. The sweet, metallic taste of blood on his lips mingled with the fresh jasmine by the bed, creating an indescribably alluring fragrance.
"You still want to run away?"
"...Still?"
The look in the corners of the man's eyes was dark and strange with desire.
2.
After that night, Jiang Yun was trapped at home.
She couldn't go out. The only time she could interact with the outside world each day was when she opened the door to collect the flowers Jiang Zongyu had ordered.
Pale purple irises, beautiful enough to steal one's soul.
She stared at the flowers, lost in thought, feeling as if she'd seen them somewhere before.
In the bathroom, Jiang Yun stood with her back to the mirror and undid her collar. A long scar from surgery clung to the back of her neck like a poisonous insect.
Jiang Zongyu said the surgeon hadn't stitched it well. If it bothered her, she could cover it with her hair. So Jiang Yun had grown her hair long over the past two years and never once suspected anything.
Gently sweeping her hair aside, she turned around and looked for the first time at the end of the scar in the mirror.
A broken iris, blooming in decadent beauty.
As her heart pounded violently, Jiang Zongyu's dark voice rang in her ear. "Piaopiao, why won't you listen?"
3.
The floodgates of memory reopened.
Thunderclaps echoed through the half-mountain villa that Jiang Zongyu had built with his own hands, a place like a maze.
Jiang Yun broke into the attic he had never allowed her to enter. By chance, she touched a switch, and the sky screen in the roof slowly opened.
The rain pounded against the glass, its shadows flowing over the sheets of paper covering the room.
Jiang Yun as a girl, her skirt billowing;
Jiang Yun at university, looking angry and coy;
Jiang Yun after her discharge from the hospital, lost and helpless...
Countless missing moments from her memory returned through these images. Jiang Yun collapsed onto the floor.
Behind her, Jiang Zongyu's shadowed gaze was soaked by the rain. His sigh of grief wrapped around her like a ghostly whisper. "I only wanted to keep you."
"Or die together."
*There is no muse in this world, only fate.
*So, Jiang Yun, the cage I built for you has trapped me, too.
-Jiang Zongyu
Theme: Love the world by beginning with loving one person
There is also the heroine's brother. In fact, I think it is not easy for him. Some people may not like him very much, but I think it is also difficult for him... When the sister wants to find the boy she likes without hesitation, all the brother can give her is to make her have no hesitation. In fact, he is quite good...
Even though it's he, it makes me feel so uncomfortable and my heart is so blocked.
What about the famous Weibo scene of the copywriting?
What a famous scene for copywriting!!!! Baga!
I browsed a lot of VB, but I didn't find any relevant follow-up. I'm a little disappointed. I still want to see A Fang and Sicheng. I'm crying.
Author: Will this book be published in physical form? (Really like www
It's true that this article made me feel uncomfortable. It's not that the writing is bad. It's because it's well-written that it makes people feel like they're in it. The feelings between them and each other have never changed. No matter what kind of environment they are in, they are always together. This is really more redemptive than a redemption article...
"One hospital" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ hospital

Help, after reading this book today, I wanted to go to the author's Weibo to see if he had a car. However, Weibo can only view content within half a year QAQ
