Faking a Psychopath

[Coming soon: Abstract Dating Show] Blurb: Hush is a crime thriller where every character is evil. The leads and supporting cast wreak havoc across a city of sin, committing crimes on the run and making readers cry, “What the hell?!” In the end, they all meet gruesome fates. . Shen Yan transmigrates into the story. He becomes the male lead's neighbor. The male lead is the brains behind a criminal gang, an epic-level lunatic who builds a team of villains, leads them in their evil deeds, then sends them all to their deaths because he's bored with the game. Basically, a dark version of the Chosen One. His neighbor is his first underling, a fervent admirer who, at the male lead's suggestion, offers up his heart as a declaration of love. Shen Yan (eyes closed): Great, a brother who'd give me his heart and soul. Shen Yan has no money to move, so to stay alive, he can only take things as they come. As the saying goes, like recognizes like. Shen Yan decides to copy the other man's persona to save his own skin. You're a lunatic? Same here! You hate idiots? Same here! You want to destroy the world? Haha, guess what, so do I! . In the end, he successfully passes himself off as a lunatic and becomes the male lead's closest friend. The male lead kisses the back of Shen Yan's hand and intertwines their fingers, his eyes dark with an unsettling, feverish intensity. “Only you deserve to stand by my side.” . Later, once Shen Yan has saved enough money, he makes a clean getaway. To eliminate any future threat, he turns around and sends the lunatics to a star prison, where they'll serve ten thousand years. Then he fakes his death and, using a new identity he'd already prepared, slips away to a remote planet. After two carefree years, Shen Yan sees a news anchor calmly reporting on the star prison: “On July 28, Star Calendar Year 136, a criminal gang led by a certain Ruan escaped from the star prison. We urge all citizens to…” The anchor's mouth keeps moving, but Shen Yan can't hear a thing. The male lead embraces him from behind, resting his chin against Shen Yan's neck and shoulder; A red-haired fugitive excitedly points at his wanted poster on the TV and laughs loudly; A fragile-minded con artist curls up under the dining table, trembling as he grips Shen Yan's ankle; A cool, composed arsonist pulls out a chair across from Shen Yan, sets the tablecloth on fire, and smiles at him in the blaze. . “Baby.” The male lead kisses his temple. “How do you want to run away this time?” Shen Yan (not about to lose it): Haha, what a lively crowd!
