(*^ω^*)] When Tang Yuxin was little, she found a boy who was deaf in his left ear in a muddy pit and made him her follower. As the years passed, her little follower grew into exactly the kind of young man she liked. Handsome, bright-eyed, gentle, humble, and good-natured. Few people knew that the boy Tang Yuxin thought was nearly perfect was actually rotten to the core. His PCL-R test results showed that Zhou He had an extremely pathological personality. Born rebellious, dangerous simply by existing. They parted as children and met again years later, when everything had changed. Atop a tall building, Zhou He fought death with all his might and reclaimed the girl who visited his dreams every night. He held her trembling in his arms, his eyes reddening in an instant. "If you don't want it anymore, then give me your life." "I can protect it." "I'm begging you." The coldhearted demon fell in love. The girl hanging over his heart was his life.

(*^ω^*) The first time Dou Yao saw Shen Cen was in a narrow alley on Bar Street. The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a finger, then glanced back at her. His gaze was cold and empty, like a wild wolf that could never be tamed. Dou Yao remembered him at once. Years later, after a catastrophe left Dou Yao blind, the person who saved her was Shen Cen. She heard that Shen Cen, the city's newly risen star, was wild and arrogant, a "lunatic" with no moral limits. She had her suspicions, but forced by circumstance, she stayed by his side, almost as if trying to deceive herself. As time passed, feelings began to take root. Just as Dou Yao was about to confess, she accidentally overheard the man who had saved her talking with a friend. She learned that he didn't love her and had only saved her because he wanted something from her. Her heart died in an instant. She turned to run. Through a hopeless landscape of deathly gray, she stumbled forward. As she tripped and fell, someone gathered her into his arms as though she were a priceless treasure. "Don't cry." "What do you want? I'll give you everything." No one ever taught me what love was. I only know that I want to give you everything you want. Whatever the cost, even if it means giving my life. A madman's love is always instinctive and all-consuming. Sinister, unhinged knight vs. scheming princess in distress * In the eyes of love, low birth and wicked deeds count for nothing. They can both be transformed into happiness and honor.
