[Black-hearted on the inside x little butterfly]
His love is sick, vile, and hidden from the light. He can only wear a gentle mask and gaze down at him with careful tenderness, afraid of disturbing the butterfly in his heart.
At seventeen, Shi Qi has clear, dark eyes and long lashes that rest quietly against them. He seems as pure as mist and frost, and always appears humble and gentle in public.
He's the genius boy in his teachers' eyes and the object of every girl's affection.
Even her strict father is always praising him.
Only Ming Die knows this isn't all there is to him, because on that night when he pretended to be asleep, she was so close that she caught the faint scent of tobacco on his fingertips, as well as...
His hot, heavy breath.
Later, he spends seven long years weaving a net, all so he can wait for the butterfly he once startled into flight to land again.
