Light in the Rift

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in., Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"

Xia Ye's life was supposed to go something like this: driven by childhood nightmares she could never escape, she would take revenge, kill her enemy with her own hands, and end her short life.

Wu Xiaozhuo's life was supposed to go something like this: after failing to escape his dysfunctional family, he would give up, carry on as the spoiled rich kid everyone despised, and live out a joyless life.

But as they hurtled toward their respective misfortunes, they met by chance. From then on, they became entangled with each other, shouldering on side by side as fate swept them along, and together veered off the paths their lives had been set to follow.

Xia Ye was someone who lived only to die. The moment her revenge succeeded should have been the end of her life.

But someone forcibly dragged her away from her life's "finale."

Through a twist of fate, she became entangled in an even more complex and sinister conspiracy.

It turned out that the nightmares of her childhood were only the tip of the iceberg. Little by little, she uncovered the full extent of the demons' crimes.

But...

"It's my first time getting married, so I'm not sure how this works. Someone said that fleeing together is a shared responsibility between spouses. I don't buy it. How can I get divorced as quickly as possible and get away from him?"

The person she wanted to get away from frowned and secretly replied.

"Anonymous reply: There's a one-month cooling-off period for divorce. After that, both parties have to appear together. To ensure your safety, having me protect you around the clock for that month is perfectly reasonable."

If a beam of light appears in the cracks of a life that was dark from the start, it must be you...
