Lu Heng had always known with perfect clarity that Yu Lanzhang was a poisonous beauty.
He was a first-rate lunatic, a second-rate disobedient subordinate, a third-rate dangerous plaything, and... the most lowly of lovers.
But Lu Heng still couldn't help being drawn to him.
And it wasn't just once. Again and again, he was bewitched, completely lost in a haze.
The first time, he was experiencing love for the first time and thought he'd found the love of his life. But Yu Lanzhang used him and forgot him, abandoning him without even saying goodbye.
The second time, he cautiously guarded himself against this femme fatale, but let his guard down for just a moment and got robbed of both money and his virtue. Yu Lanzhang stabbed him in the heart, nearly taking his life.
The third time, he was transferred and became Yu Lanzhang's direct superior.
He thought all he felt for him now was loathing and hatred. He would keep his distance and maintain a cold, professional relationship.
But one rainy night, the man collapsed, covered in blood, right outside his door. Lu Heng still lost his head all over again.
From then on, he was doomed to fall for him.
A reserved, pure-hearted, deeply devoted, upright puppy-like man x a breathtaking, ruthless, dark-hearted, beautiful but broken madman and irresistible charmer

----The evil sugar-and-angst divider----
"Do you know the most celebrated neurosurgeon in the capital ten years ago? He was young, brilliant, and dazzlingly talented."
He didn't answer. The broker across from him lit a cigarette.
"Hey, do you know what a wreck he's become now?"
"A lunatic. Mentally ill. A filthy little pervert, a shameless piece of trash."
"..."
With a wicked laugh, the man across from him moved closer.
"Who would let a lunatic operate on their brain? Am I right?"
Lu Heng was silent for a long time. Then he stood up and punched the cigarette out against the man's face. He pulled his fist back, wiping away the blood and the burning ash.
His eyes were red, yet he suddenly smiled.
Lanzhang, no matter what you look like, no matter how close I come to death, you're the only one who can save me. My body, and my soul.
You have to... save me.

Reader's guide:
1. Some cyberpunk elements, with unreliable sci-fi.
2. The love interest is a beautiful but broken, irresistible charmer with an onion heart. Peel away one layer, and there's another underneath.
3. Mainly told from the bottom's perspective, but the plot calls for a few chapters of the top's flashback perspective.
Theme: The sword of justice never grows old
