A morbid, darkly obsessed woman vs. a bad-tempered man with no moral limits
Blurb:
While traveling in Yunnan with younger members of his family, Luo Sheng met the guesthouse owner's granddaughter.
The girl was fair and delicate, with curved brows and dimples when she smiled.
The first time she met them, she sweetly asked,
"Can I go traveling with you?"
"I can give you a discount at the guesthouse. I really want to... go with you."
"Do whatever you want."
Luo Sheng glanced at her instinctively. The refusal got stuck in his throat, as if some force had stopped him.

The girl's name was Xie Nan. Luo Sheng saw right away what she was thinking:
She wanted to seduce him.
As luck would have it, he was a wild sort with little conscience. He thought a brief fling with her would be nice, or perhaps a one-night stand. They could part on good terms afterward.
But gradually, something felt wrong.
Luo Sheng realized someone was spying on and following him in secret. Their gaze clung to him like a shadow, sticky, lewd, and disgusting, making his scalp crawl.
His intimate clothes had taken on an unknown smell, and someone had moved things around in his room.
All the strange incidents reached their peak one morning after he'd spent the night with Xie Nan.
Luo Sheng woke up in an unfamiliar basement, his head splitting with pain and a cold iron chain around his wrist.
When he looked up, Xie Nan was crouched in front of him, still wearing that innocent, sweet-girl expression.
She grabbed his collar and slapped his face with the back of her hand.
"You're finally mine and mine alone, Luo Sheng."
"How are you going to live without me?"
She had locked him up.
So Xie Nan was crazy after all.

"A psycho and a scumbag. We're made for each other."
