The ending is a tragedy. Read with caution.
Pei Xueshi was only a teenager when she transmigrated into a book. Later, she met a refined and gracious young gentleman who reached out to her as she lay near death.
Pei Xueshi followed him back to his residence. Before long, the young girl fell in love, without even realizing it, with the gentleman who had helped her in this unfamiliar world.
But for some reason, the gentleman despised love and romance.
When she confessed her feelings, his gentle, watery gaze vanished, replaced by an expression of disgust.
The girl's affection had come suddenly, and disappeared just as quickly.
Pei Xueshi let him go.
But in the end, the gentleman tore off his refined and gracious mask and devoured her whole.
Young Master Qin was a gifted young man of great integrity, highly regarded by his family and admired in the capital. What no one knew was that a young woman was bound inside the courtyard where he lived. He despised love, yet craved the warmth of Pei Xueshi's body with an almost pathological obsession.
“You're sick,” Pei Xueshi called him.
