Su Shu transmigrated into a long novel with an enormous, tangled web of romantic relationships between the leads, full of drawn-out angst.
The person she has to win over is the obsessive, sinister, black-lotus fourth male lead, who constantly gets in the way of the male and female leads' relationship and is always with the protagonist group, making him impossible to ignore.
As Su Shu works on winning him over, she realizes the plot is gradually taking a strange turn.
Then one day, when the protagonist group encounters danger, the boy in black finally stops adding fuel to the fire. Instead, he painstakingly digs her out of a pile of corpses, carries her back, and personally washes her clean, carefully and thoroughly.
"Don't get yourself all filthy again." Smiling, he gently fastens her belt. "Though... it's all their fault."
Su Shu chokes, just about to say something, when she sees him smiling as he kills the people who came after them to silence them with a swift stroke. She suddenly thinks she might be safer hiding in the pile of corpses.
In the depths of hell, I long for the human world because of you.
Reader's guide: The male lead really isn't a good person. You can't guilt-trip him with morality, because he doesn't have any. Synopsis captured on June 15, 2022.
Theme: Whatever choice you make, think it through carefully, carefully, and carefully again.
