After Being Entangled by a Reborn, Obsessive Male Ghost

In his sophomore year of design school, Chi Lanyi thought he had found the perfect older boyfriend.

Gao Rong was strong, reliable, rational, and deeply devoted. He provided Chi Lanyi with the best fashion resources and dealt with all the jealous classmates. He protected Chi Lanyi’s genius image with ruthless calm in business, yet at home, he would gently kiss away every fragile tear.

Chi Lanyi felt like the luckiest person in the world. He was grateful to Gao Rong and wanted to spend his entire life with him.

Until he discovered that Gao Rong was not what he had imagined.

Gao Rong had been watching him all along.

Gao Rong was reborn from the shadows of betrayal.

In his previous life, Chi Lanyi used his genius, his neurosis, and his deadly beauty to make Gao Rong fall hopelessly in love with him—and then destroyed the life Gao Rong should have had on a normal track.

Gao Rong should have become a great entrepreneur or a successful politician, not this: after crafting the myth of Chi Lanyi’s fashion genius, he was divorced and cast out by the man he loved his whole life.

After his rebirth, Gao Rong looked at Chi Lanyi and thought that in the last life, he had spoiled him rotten.

In this life, he would make Chi Lanyi unable to function without him. He would use a gentle trap to make the genius his personal forbidden fruit.

He drove away the professor who framed Chi Lanyi, locked him in the incubator project’s greenhouse. He negotiated the most favorable contracts for him, but also sent away the friends who kissed Chi Lanyi’s cheek.

He wanted Chi Lanyi to be his canary in a glass cage: dazzling, perfect, but only able to hop within his palm.

He wanted to soak Chi Lanyi in warm water, to drown him unknowingly until he became his possession alone. He wanted Chi Lanyi to love him madly, to stay by his side, and never want to escape.

Gao Rong always thought he was doing an excellent job.

He arranged the bankruptcy of Chi Lanyi’s venomous parents, cutting off his final escape route. But he never imagined that Chi Lanyi, whom he thought was sleeping soundly on a velvet cushion, was standing right behind him, pale-faced, having listened to the entire phone call.

Gao Rong thought Chi Lanyi was lost in a beautiful dream. At dawn, he would give him a gentle morning kiss and continue their blissful, fragrant days with his little prey.

Gao Rong didn’t know that Chi Lanyi, hiding behind the curtains, had only one thought amidst his boundless terror.

—He wanted to escape.
