Drowning Deep

Yu Xi began pursuing Pei Guanyu because of a bet.

She was good at sweet talk and flirted so casually that she never imagined a boy who seemed so unapproachable would fall for her so easily. In a relationship, he was innocent, clingy, and utterly obedient.

Unfortunately, the day after she slept with Pei Guanyu, he found out about the spur-of-the-moment bet.

The look in his eyes suddenly became terrifying.

The breakup she had imagined never came. Instead, Pei Guanyu became irrationally controlling in a way that made her scalp tingle.

“Tell me you love me. Every day.”

“Now, kiss me in front of him.”

“You didn’t spend eight hours with me today.”

When Yu Xi couldn’t take it anymore and begged to break up, Pei Guanyu looked at her just as he had the day the bet was exposed.

Suddenly, he tossed a lighter into the gas tank. “If we die together, will we never be able to break up?”

-

Yu Xi was scared witless by Pei Guanyu’s state of mind.

Luckily, she found out that Pei Guanyu had a special status that meant he couldn’t leave the country. She made plans to go abroad overnight and ran away for several years.

She returned to the country quietly, without telling anyone. After staying cautious for three months and seeing that all was calm, she finally let her guard down and resumed her normal social life.

One late night, after relaxing at a bar, Yu Xi came home with half-closed eyes and opened the door.

Along with the click of the lock, Pei Guanyu’s face appeared in the dim interior.

He said calmly, “Xi Xi, it’s a good thing you came back.”

“Come to our wedding next month.”

A story about a lovestruck, secretly twisted pretty boy who goes completely off the rails after a sweet-talking beauty tricks him into giving her his heart and body.

The part in the blurb about dying together is fake. The male lead doesn’t break the law or commit crimes.

Content warning: The male lead is abnormal and extremely possessive. If you can’t handle that, definitely don’t read this. It will hit a nerve.
