"The sun had disappeared from the sky because he had pulled it into his arms"

I looooove how Zhao Ran is all about the sun, his powers are shining and golden, his symbol is a sun, he radiates warmth, his real form is round like the sun... but he also can't stand real sunlight because it literally drains him of life, strength and even colour. He is a little fake sun of the polar night.

ngl the chibi fanarts are killing me:

Zhao Ran
Yu An
Ha Bai with the eyedrops :D

Volume 4! I really locked in these past few days. This novel is soooo goooooood.

“His eyes were filled with an almost obsessive, almost manic determination that he couldn’t live without me.”

“He can only belong to me; this is my lifelong pursuit.”

When they match one another’s freak ✨🥰

“What could be more erotic than a flawless white body enveloping a heart brimming with desire?”

“Zhao Ran clapped his hands, all four of them clapping at once, which was a bit startling.”

My man is just aura farming at this point

Once again I'm surprised at the depth of this silly little story, no plot holes in sight. Like how Zhao Ran keeps disciplining Yu An and trying to teach him to be moral and human (because Yu An is lowkey a sociopath). Why would a monster care? Because if everything goes right, Zhao Ran will eventually come under Yu An's control and he doesn't want to become a nuke in a psychopath's hands, so he tries to prevent it.

“You might wonder: what if I lied, what if I wasn’t the monster you met? But that’s nog the most important thing. The important thing is what you would do if I really were that monster.”

Starting Volume 3, woo!

I love how Yu An’s first reaction to a heartbreak is to plan the murder of his lover, including various methods of preserving the body.
