A self-indulgent work: a frail, obsessive character and lots of caretaking scenes | Emotional and physical angst | Happy ending
Screenwriter vs. music producer
Reserved and gentle vs. arrogant and caustic
-
Sui Ren is warm and courteous, speaking softly, with a gentleness that flows like a quiet stream.
The quieter a person is, the more they live by the rules and lead a well-behaved life, the more likely there's a lunatic inside them. When they rebel, they're the scariest of all, charging headfirst into a brick wall without regret.
In the behind-the-scenes world, Zhou Wang is an insurmountable peak. When he plays an instrument, his hands create melodies as flawless as natural diamonds. Like the man himself, they are cool and sharp, impossible to approach.
His hysterical breakdowns when he falls ill, and the warmth he finds in the arms of an obscure screenwriter, are all swallowed up by the dangers closing in around them.

Everyone knows.
Zhou Wang has only ever acknowledged one girlfriend. That girl was as radiant as a doll, a once-in-a-generation star who seemed to appear out of nowhere. She wasn't like Sui Ren, plain and unremarkable.
No one paid attention.
In her first year in the industry, Sui Ren won Best Newcomer, only to quit while she was ahead and spend the rest of her career playing the supporting role.
Later, she was dumped, and everyone knew. People in the industry laughed that she had clung to Zhou Wang for four years and gotten nothing out of it.

Knowing that all their love and hatred would be swallowed by a suffocating reality, the seemingly unruffled one still willingly offers up everything and bares her neck to the blade.
She appears to be the weaker one, yet it is Zhou Wang who gives himself completely. Looking down at the only point of light in his eyes, he ruthlessly shatters them both.
Love is buried in the dead of night, unseen and impossible to prove.
No one knows that from beginning to end, she alone could make Zhou Wang willingly tear every thorn from his body, skin and all.
He is the desire she fantasizes about. He survives on her love.

Reading guide:
1: First the woman suffers, then the man. But this is a beautiful love story, with lots of caretaking scenes. Their love is written into everyday life, and it has a happy ending.
2: The male lead is a lunatic. He has his own worldview, and thinks everything he does is reasonable.
3: The female lead truly loves him, loves him desperately. Later, when she rises up, the male lead will be tormented by her until he's half-dead.
4: Written before I signed a contract. The whole novel will be revised before posting ^з^ At the beginning, I didn't understand how to post chapters and kept running into bugs, so I accidentally duplicated them many times. The chapters already posted can't be deleted, so I split the first two chapters and added them to existing chapters for readers to preview. I hope this won't affect your reading, dear readers. Short novel, 250,000 characters, complete.
↓ Please add this to your to-read list if you happen to pass by, dear readers.
