One Hundred and One Deaths

*

After dying unexpectedly, Xu Liao becomes trapped in a loop.

He dies over and over again, his life frozen at eighteen.

That stretch of time is made up of blazing sunlight, crowded classrooms, icy lake water, biting winds, and endless insults and arguments.

None of that is frightening. The frightening part is that this life still has a long way to go.

After meeting Ji Fengnian, though, his eighteenth year becomes a churning swimming pool, a crimson mole, breaths mingling between their lips and teeth, and scorching hands pressed against his kneecap.

Xu Liao: Sometimes I really wish I could become something without thoughts, become a part of you, a bone, a piece of flesh, anything at all.

Love burns him from within, draining his essence and vitality.

1. Top-focused! Top-focused! Top-focused!

2. Younger top, doted-on top.

3. One-on-one, HE.

Upcoming: "The Detective Must Die"

Wei Tao is inexplicably pulled into a live-action murder-mystery game called "The Detective Must Die." The players take turns playing detectives and murderers, with one mystery after another waiting to be solved and the threat of death lurking everywhere. Who will be lucky enough to survive to the end?

In this tense, brain-burning game, everyone is on high alert and doesn't dare let their guard down for a second, except for Wei Tao and Kang Nai.

When they first see each other against a backdrop of flying flesh and blood, the world seems to disappear, leaving only the two of them in each other's eyes.

Wei Tao and Kang Nai: Oh no, my head's so itchy... I'm growing a lovesick brain!

So from then on, their behavior never fits in with everyone else's...

Everyone else, racking their brains: Who's the murderer?

Wei Tao and Kang Nai, racking their brains: How can I get his attention?

Everyone else, pondering hard: Why did the murderer kill? What was the motive?

Wei Tao and Kang Nai, pondering hard: What should I wear on our date?

Everyone else, thinking as hard as they can: What's the murderer's method?

Wei Tao and Kang Nai, thinking as hard as they can: Is it too soon to get together after knowing each other for only half a month?

Everyone else: Enough already!!!

Over time, all the single people, already dealing with the pressure of surviving a horror game, also have to withstand the psychological assault of this nauseating couple, leaving them full of resentment. But one of the two looks like a reckless, brainless cannon-fodder, while the other looks like a pretty good-for-nothing who won't survive three episodes.

The now thoroughly warped crowd immediately thinks: Respect, best wishes, stay together forever. You two are a damn perfect match!

But their happiness lasts no more than three seconds before the brainless cannon-fodder crushes them with his intelligence and the pretty good-for-nothing beats them into submission.

Everyone: Turns out I'm the clown.
