Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Xu Luling had a boyfriend that everyone envied. He was cool and refined, a graduate from a top international school, an investment banking elite, and most importantly, he treated Xu Luling extremely well.

Lately, her boyfriend seemed to be stalked by someone.

He kept receiving death threats, and strange accidents kept happening one after another: secret surveillance cameras installed in their home, a car that suddenly couldn’t stop on the road, a plaster dummy falling from above…

Finally, one day, her boyfriend really disappeared.

As she went to report it to the police, the missing man suddenly appeared behind her, drenched, like he’d rushed over without even grabbing an umbrella, looking like a lost puppy she’d forgotten by the roadside: “Lingling, I’m back.”

But twenty days later, this man who said he’d returned mysteriously died.

There was one thing she never told anyone.

She always had a feeling that he had never truly left. He was always there, right by her side.

[No one knew that her boyfriend could stay by her side 24/7.]

literal chills!! Its a really short read so giving it 5☆, if it dragged on then that wouldn't be the case.

to be clear, although I'm a sucker for mystery the ending is not my cup of tea but other than that the story is written well, and the translation is very beautifully done. Personally, I get too involved in a story and get lost in emotions, and the later parts made me feel extremely nauseous. even the background characters are realistically written. The build-up and the reveals are quite okay. Although you can find some plot holes, they're not that apparent.

the twists and turns are very well put together, but amongst the intrigue I would like to put the FL in the limelight. She is a really admirable person. Her getting tricked so much was not quite to my fancy but its good
Spoiler

loved her personality; finding the truth and believing in herself, as well as her varying emotions, was truly striking albeit even she was fooled.

this story is one of a kind.

I think this was written well but personally I don't like this story at all. If you like feeling disgusted by reading stories then you might like this one. I usually wouldn't complete a story like this because I don't really like the topic/plot twist of this kind of story but I completed it because it was short. The plot was very complete without any plot holes but for me it felt a bit outlandish and I just felt horrible for the MC ... more>>
Spoiler

especially at the end when she thought she could move on but was tricked again. I just personally dont like the topic of repeatedly tricking your SO into something they do not consent to and oh boy theres a lot of that.

I really don't like these stories so I would normally give a 1 star but giving 2 because it is very well written! <<less

If I could give half points this would be a 4.5, probably. This is a very specific type of story and if you're like me you might spot the plot twists from a mile away, but it was still a fun and completely solid read. The perfect length and pacing for this type of premise, fairly well-written with an intelligent lead. The best way I can describe it is that this story is like the comfort food of the thriller/horror genre. Very trope-y, very on-the-nose but it was exactly what... more>> I was looking to read. Like watching an episode of X-Files.

There are some loose ends and some details that felt a little random (the main character's family is apparently so rich they bought her an entire building for her 18th birthday but this is just treated as a throwaway detail. Feels like she could've been hiring a personal guard detail this whole time, or security cameras, in retrospect) but I rated this almost purely off of personal enjoyment. Your mileage will almost certainly vary. <<less

As a horror story: 4/5. Truly horrifying, with minor plot holes.

In terms of personal taste: 1/5. Wish I hadn't read.

Technically speaking, it's not a bad story. Initially a bit predictable, but the last couple of chapters & the epilogue added details I was horrified to discover. But there's the rub. I was left feeling horrified & helpless, & that's not how I like to feel at the end of a story. I wasn't expecting the ending to be so upsetting.

While I prefer HE's in general, I hate BE's where women end up with their ab*ser. I can suffer generic bad endings, but this type of gendered intimate violence is truly not my cuppa. It's even worse when they don't even get to hate the man who has hurt them, bc they don't even know they're sleeping with the enemy.

[collapse]

At the very least, the author didn't romanticize it? In that, I feel like this series is mislabeled here — this was horror, not romance. The tragedy tag should have been there before I added it.

Spoiler

You think it's just one sick, twisted man pretending to be her lover (who's also his twin). You root for the FL as she notices inconsistencies, & you're terrified with her as she finds a secret space in their apartment with evidence of animal & human mutilation. And you retch with her, as you find out her boyfriend's decapitated head was positioned to watch their bed as she was intimate with the fake. That's bad enough, right? At least she got away.

[collapse]

There's a sense of victory & agency to be found in the FL piecing together the clues. Despite everything else that has happened to her, there's comfort in her ability to take control of her reaction to it.

Spoiler

Then you find out all of this was planned. Her discomfort, her grief, her disgust, her trauma — all of it manipulated by someone who wanted her to develop a false sense of autonomy/security. Despite everything he put her through, there was some modicum of control in her finding out the truth. But this, too, was manufactured.

He wanted her to suffer, he planned every bit of it, because it led her into his final trap. &Amp; that's so sad & depressing. She'll never escape him. She'll never know the man she sleeps in the same bed with orchestrated the worst time of her life.

[collapse]

I could rant on, & that's speaks to just how horrifying I found this very short story. But I wish I hadn't read it. <<less
