After Qi Jiu died of illness, a System bound him to it: "Since you're sickly, play a short-lived character: the obsessive, twisted villain's doomed white moonlight."
The obsessive villains are twisted and mentally deranged. They appear impeccably proper, but are monsters beneath the surface. They yearn for the protagonist from the shadows, using love as an excuse to do whatever it takes, even burning through their own lives.
The white moonlight Qi Jiu plays is the spark that sets off their madness.
But Qi Jiu plays the role too well. After faking his death, the System drags him back. Only he can stop the crazed villains from falling apart.

For the first time, they experienced love and kindness given on equal terms.

A high school student moves in next door to Qi Jiu. He's a cool, reserved top student who treats Qi Jiu well.
Qi Jiu's bad leg makes it difficult for him to go out, so the high schooler often helps him buy things and pick up deliveries.
Until one day, after dinner with a former colleague, the colleague urges him to come back and handle a case involving a second-generation cannibal.
The high schooler takes him home. Once the door closes, Qi Jiu gradually loses his strength and collapses.
Through his blurred vision, he sees the frail, pale boy pinning his leg in place.
