After the Inner Thoughts of a Gloomy, Damp Man Were Exposed

Originally titled Evil Roots

Chen Zhao is a dark, twisted guy. Every day, he gets a thrill from imagining all kinds of curses and insults.

For example, he might kill the dog belonging to the female classmate who always talks about him behind his back, or imagine the school bully who picks on him getting into a car accident...

But Chen Zhao is just a coward whose beloved pet was beheaded by his younger sister, and who dares to fight back only in his fantasies.

Then one day, he discovers that his daydreams have come true. The dog is dead, the school bully is hospitalized after a car accident, and his sister receives a threatening letter.

Having gotten a taste for it, Chen Zhao soon sets his sights on his classmate Jiang Chen, the most popular person in the whole school.

After all, rich kids like him have never faced a setback. And, as it happens, Chen Zhao wants to see a heavenly prodigy become a dog like him.

Only later does Chen Zhao realize that Heaven was never favoring him. The one with the special ability has been Jiang Chen all along...

But by then, it's too late.

In a society where power reigns supreme, someone like Jiang Chen, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, is destined to live a smooth, challenge-free life.

But that kind of life is so boring that Jiang Chen can only think of ending it with death.

He drinks, jumps off a rooftop, and somehow survives, accidentally unlocking a special ability.

He can read minds. More precisely... he can read the mind of only one pathetic loser.

At first, he wants to ignore it, even sneer at it. Poor kids really are that pathetic.

But one day, the voice in his head becomes unbearably annoying, and then an unexpected incident occurs.

The dog dies, the school bully gets into a car accident, and his sister's hand is chopped off.

Listening to that desire-filled voice repeating endlessly in his ear, Jiang Chen laughs at the absurdity of it all.

"I wish Jiang Chen were my dog."

During the peak years of online scams,

Xia Zhixian's hard-earned savings are swindled away, and he gets into trouble with someone he shouldn't have crossed.

The other person offers him a way out: get close to someone, and that'll settle the score.

Xia Zhixian takes the file and pauses. It's an "old acquaintance."

Using what happened back then as an excuse, he lies that he's moved on, confesses, and starts a relationship with the other man.

He spends a year laying the groundwork, gradually gaining his trust, playing the devoted lover, and transferring assets.

Once he's squeezed the last bit of value out of the other man, he'll take his fortune and run away with his partner.

But on the way to a rural inn with his partner, after arranging fake identities, several black cars cut across the road and block his escape.

The window of the car in the middle slowly rolls down.

A man sits where the light meets the shadows, casually flicks away his cigarette ash, and beckons him over with leisurely ease.

-

After waking up from a car accident, Xia Zhixian has lost all his memories of his past with his boyfriend.

Everyone says they've been in love for years, and that he has always been indebted to his partner.

So he accepts this cool, elegant partner and decides to let bygones be bygones. No matter how awful he might have been in the past, he'll make it up to him from now on.

Until Xia Zhixian has a nightmare.

The man in it wears a gentle smile, but his words send chills down Xia Zhixian's spine.

"A wife being coaxed into eloping is a husband's failure, so I'll give you two choices."

"Should I tie you up and drag you back like a dog, or will you be my wife again and come home with me?"

*A possessive, gloomy, domineering top x a bottom who toys with people's hearts and gets caught in his own web

*Love and hate, a tragic romance, an unconventional mutual redemption

*The top really is sick. It's hereditary.

Theme: Even in a swamp, you must reach for the sun.
