[Very unhinged, read with caution / Treats suicide like a game / Everyone is evil / The only romance is between the two leads. They're an adversarial couple. No breaking them up in any way]
◆ Both leads are crazy. The author can't figure out who tops, so they'll switch (hides face.jpg).
Here's how it works: Jiang Ren tops on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; Shen Zheng tops on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sunday is a day off (cheers.jpg).
◆ This is just an old blurb that's been revised and reposted. Don't get the wrong idea.
◆ Jiang Ren X Shen Zheng / two long-haired, crazy men
"Why do you think you ended up here?"
Shen Zheng lowered his head, looked at the tips of his shoes, and shook his head.
"Then can you tell me?"
The man thought for a moment before replying, "Because you've been cursed."
Only after the man finished speaking did Shen Zheng abruptly raise his head to look at him.
"Cursed?"
"Hello, and welcome to Nancheng Mental Hospital, at 44 South Cross Street, South Nancheng. Everyone here has been cursed."
A flicker of disappointment crossed Shen Zheng's eyes. So it wasn't because of his ghost-summoning ritual.
The man continued, "You have to act in horror films and meet certain targets. Then the curse will let you go. At that point, you'll be able to leave and return to a normal life."
"I see..."
Shen Zheng replied, but his eyes were fixed on the person reflected in the mirror behind the man. The person in the mirror looked at him meaningfully.
It wasn't until after he'd settled in for the night that he realized that was the look someone gave a kindred spirit.
When they finally formally met, the first thing the man said was:
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Jiang Ren. I've been in this mental hospital for 327 years. Like you, I'm a refined egoist."
If you had to ask what the craziest thing Shen Zheng did in this mental hospital was, it would probably be this: he dug up Jiang Ren's grave and pried open his coffin.

◆ The crazy, refined-egoist character setup is so good!!!
