Cold, ruthless evil god x cute, clueless sweetheart. A sweet romance. Falling in love really can save the world! It has saved it many times!
Li Zhi is a country kid from a remote star system. He's inexperienced, not very bright, and always a beat slow. His mom told him to make friends with smart people.
At school, his roommate is a top student with a mysterious background, excellent grades in every subject, a cold personality, and a poor family. He always keeps to himself and refuses to accept anyone's offers of help. Li Zhi decides this is the smartest person at school and deliberately sticks close to him.
At last, thanks to Li Zhi's tireless efforts, the top student starts treating him differently. He gets answers to all the things he doesn't understand, a partner for his combat classes where he's a total weakling, and the people he hates all drop out and disappear. Life at school goes smoothly, and he's even happier than he was back in his hometown village.
It's just that sometimes he sees strange things: an unidentified object flashing past in the mirror, red marks inexplicably appearing on his wrists and ankles, and countless eyes staring at him in his dreams, crowding around his bed. But they're all trivial things, and they don't affect Li Zhi's mood.
He wants to be best friends with the top student for the rest of his life!
Until one day, Li Zhi opens the dorm room door to find the cramped room filled with some indescribable mass of limbs. The top student is sitting on the bed, slightly turned toward him. There is no heart in his chest, only a giant, blood-red vertical eye, trembling faintly as it looks at him.
Li Zhi thinks he must be dreaming. Finals are coming up, so he must be too stressed. He politely prepares to close the door and leave the dream.
Countless writhing tentacles push Li Zhi toward the top student, no, the evil god. He can't resist and can only watch himself inch closer and closer to the inhuman creature.
The top student calls his name, as calm as ever. “Isn't the first rule of human courtship to be honest with each other?”
Li Zhi trembles. “Eek!”
He'll never again make friends with ulterior motives. You really do get punished for being insincere!
Is it too late to regret it now?
