"Love is a prison, and I am your only key."
——
Chu Ning is the "canary" raised by the Lin family chaebol. Since she was adopted at the age of seven, her life has been engraved with Lin Su's name.
Lin Su, the young leader of the Lin Group, has a high IQ and is paranoid to the point of madness. She cast her love into a chain: a neural chip was implanted in the back of Chu Ning's neck, an emerald anklet clasped her freedom, and the city's surveillance network was woven into a dragnet.
"You escape once, and I'll inject a shot of adrenaline into your veins."
"Guess which comes first, your freedom or my heart stopping?"
When Lin Su was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, this morbid game suddenly got out of control. Chu Ning discovered that every time she escaped, she would accelerate Lin Su's death, and Lin Su had already encoded her lifelong memories into her neural chip——
"If I die, you will live like me."
In this cat-and-mouse game with life as a bargaining chip, the most deadly trap is: when the prisoner falls in love with the jailer, who imprisons whom?

Core highlights
- The pinnacle of yandere aesthetics: data gloves × lace choker × electronic shackles, using technology to reconstruct the romance of imprisonment.
- A suffocating emotional game: the quantum entanglement between escape progress and brain tumor growth. The further you escape, the faster I will die.
- Memory Maze: The reality of neural chip tampering. Which memory has not been tampered with by Lin Su?
- The ultimate reversal: when the jailer voluntarily becomes a prisoner, the only freedom is when the cage itself is.
Excerpts from famous sentences
- "I have dissected twenty-seven butterflies, and only your wings are still bleeding in the glass box."
- "There are three thousand pieces of glass on the church window. Every time I think of you, a piece of your DNA is embedded in it."
- "You always say I'm crazy, but what's crazy is this world - it actually thinks love should be measured."

"Welcome to my brain, where it will always rain for you."
Intention: Love is not possession, but the courage to let go; freedom is not escape, but facing the true self.
