[The Feast of Man]
Wu Nanyu fell asleep at home, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself in Hongmu Village.
The Feast was drawing near, yet fewer and fewer tourists were around. A college student smashed his head against the ground, insisting that an eye had grown on his skull. Wu Nanyu blinked his vacant eyes and quietly asked Qi Zuiyu, whom he had met not long ago and who had been so gentle and considerate toward him.
"Are they all right?"
Qi Zuiyu pulled his tongue away from Wu Nanyu's nape. "Nanyu, don't worry. They're just talking about horror movies."
On the day of the Feast, Wu Nanyu was chosen by the gods as the Red Fish. After completing the sacrificial ritual, he was surprised to discover that he could see.
But what was all this? Wu Nanyu stared at Qi Zuiyu in horror. The latter narrowed his crimson eyes, fixing them on him.
"Big Brother, do you remember me? I'm Zuiyu, the one you killed with your own hands."
[The Divine Banquet]
Wu Jintang was the empire's only S-rank commander. People privately called him ruthless, but no one could deny that his face was stunningly beautiful.
Half a month ago, Wu Jintang was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease. He began coughing up blood, and his body grew weaker by the day. Everyone across the stars coveted him and waited for him to fall from his lofty perch.
With no other choice, Wu Jintang opened the locked door a thousand meters deep in the insect pit. Dim light revealed a grotesque shadow in the basement, its collarbones pierced through by iron chains. A fingertip glided over the scarred chest.
"Darling, has your heart healed yet?"
Wu Jintang's health gradually improved, but he didn't know that everything taken from someone had to be paid back.
In the gloomy basement, Wu Jintang lay on the cold floor, his pupils unfocused. His shirt was crumpled and torn, and tears kept running down to his chin.
The towering shadow lifted him up and pulled him into its arms. "Darling, you're all better now, so surely we can do it again."

Theme: There is always hope in the darkness.
There is no pain, but it is enough to kill the wolf. He has torn his own attack with his own hands before he has seen it. It is the most explosive existence in the dank male ghost world. It is exciting, good-looking, and I love to watch it. Come on, author.
I'm embarrassed, I feel like Gong is becoming less and less of a human being, even though he doesn't seem to be a [cattle dog] in the first place.
