* Brooding, possessive tattoo artist × sweet, honest good girl with two personalities

* Substitute lover / yandere romance / sister complex

1.

Yan Tong had always been a good girl in other people's eyes. The only outrageous thing she'd ever done was, after catching her boyfriend cheating, take in a puppy-like junior who came along and use him as a substitute.

The kid looked just like her ex-boyfriend. He was sweet, obedient, an excellent student, and did everything Yan Tong said.

For six whole months, they pretended to be madly in love, plastering their social media with intimate photos. As if to vent all the frustration she'd bottled up over the years, Yan Tong did every wild thing imaginable with him.

Then one night, a misunderstanding about their breakup was cleared up, and she couldn't help rising onto her toes to kiss her ex-boyfriend.

Later, in a dark, narrow alley, she saw Luo Chizhou, usually so obedient, grab her ex-boyfriend by the collar and smash his face with a vicious punch, breaking his cheekbone. He calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled ominously.

"Now that his face is ruined, you can only love me, Sis."

That night, she packed up and ran away, vanishing without a trace.

2.

When they met again, she was a customer who'd decided on a whim to get a tattoo, and he was the owner of the tattoo shop. Her eyes fell on the scar at his temple.

She still remembered that day years ago, when rain poured down and he knelt on both knees, wearing a ring as he repeatedly punched himself in the face, pleading for her forgiveness.

3.

Inside the tattoo shop, Luo Chizhou held a tattoo machine. His thin face was deathly pale, but a chilling smile played on his lips. He stared at her, like a devil fixing its gaze on prey.

"Your tattoos look beautiful, Sis. You should get them all over your body."

She suppressed the trembling in her thigh and quietly edged her leg away.

Luo Chizhou suddenly grabbed her ankle, the heat of his palm scorching his self-control.

He abruptly leaned close to her ear, his voice whispering like a demon's.

"When he touched you here, were you this sensitive too, Sis?"

4.

In a dark, cramped room, she sat in the seat of honor, one high heel pressed against his chest. Luo Chizhou knelt on one knee, his long fingers cradling her calf. He wore a sick smile, his gaze cold and sinister.

She held out a slender finger and looked down at him like he was a dog. Her red lips parted. "Lick it clean."

Later, when she went to that room for the first time, she found it full of photos, dresses, and jewelry. She pretended to be her second personality, but the moment she touched his cold skin, her whole body froze.

He coiled around her like a snake, winding up her body and around her neck. His low, icy voice came from beside her ear.

"Doesn't this feel familiar?" His lips grazed her neck, then slowly moved to the corner of her mouth, stopping her from moving.

"Why are you trembling so much, Sis? You're not very convincing."

The heroine has two personalities:

By day (the primary personality): a good girl is pursued by a ghostly man and runs for her life.

At night (the secondary personality): two ghosts walk side by side.

* I wrapped poison in a coating of sugar and fed it to her with my own hands.

* I love someone with all my heart. Anyone who stands between us must be destroyed, including me.

1. The leads have only ever been with each other. The heroine never slept with her ex-boyfriend. The second male lead is a sweetheart whom she genuinely loves. The cheating was all a misunderstanding, and they later temporarily broke up because work took them to different places. He returns later, and the male lead literally becomes a ghost.

2. The male lead loves only the primary personality. He uses the secondary personality to manipulate her and fish for information, hoping to keep the primary personality by his side. The secondary personality developed as an antisocial personality after the heroine suffered years of repression from society and her family, and she enjoys training dogs. The male lead is happy to go along with it, as long as the primary personality doesn't leave him. The secondary personality has never slept with the male lead, who respects the primary personality. At times, the two personalities are hostile toward each other. The secondary personality eventually disappears and has no moral limits, which may make some readers uncomfortable.

3. Happy ending. About 150,000 words.
