It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

Only after the deal fell through did I realize that all the young ladies were yanderes. (Author: Su Mouqie Ali 16)

Summary:

Being liked by a yandere might not be such a big problem, but if you, who is liked by a yandere, fall in love with someone else, then you're asking for trouble.

That sunset, as she watched me holding someone else's hand, she couldn't hold back anymore...

...

It was damp and a bit chilly; that was his first impression.

Su Yu slowly woke up, fighting off drowsiness and physical exhaustion, and savored everything he could feel.

My eyes are covered, so I can't see anything. I think I'm lying in bed. The bed is made of nice material and it's comfortable to lie on. My wrists seem to be locked, and they make a rattling sound if I move them.

It looks like a chain, and it sounds like a very thick chain. The chain doesn't seem to be very long, which means the space for movement isn't very large.

Prologue: The Dark Room After the Lies Are Shattered

Being liked by a yandere might not be such a big problem, but if you, who is liked by a yandere, fall in love with someone else, then you're asking for trouble.

That sunset, as she watched me holding someone else's hand, she couldn't hold back anymore.

...

It was damp and a bit chilly; that was his first impression.

Su Yu slowly woke up, fighting off drowsiness and physical exhaustion, and savored everything he could feel.

My eyes are covered, so I can't see anything. I think I'm lying in bed. The bed is made of nice material and it's comfortable to lie on. My wrists seem to be locked, and they make a rattling sound if I move them.

It looks like a chain, and it sounds like a very thick chain. The chain doesn't seem to be very long, which means the space for movement isn't very large.

The other end of the chain seemed to be firmly embedded in the wall, impossible to budge. Su Yu gave up after only a couple of attempts, not wanting to waste his already limited strength.

When raising a small animal, you need to prepare a cage for it. The cage should not be too big, otherwise its heart may wander outside and it will not become loyal.

The cage can't be too small, otherwise it might drive your pet crazy and make it feel restricted. So you need to give your pet a space that's neither too big nor too small, so it can feel a little bit...

Ridiculous freedom.

Su Yu slowly sensed the limits of his mobility. This chain was the cage Lin Mengqing had given him. The chain was very tight, and he could feel a chill where the handcuffs touched his wrists. It seemed as if the chain was trying to lock up his heart.

Lock his heart away, prevent him from dreaming of those ridiculous freedoms, and make him obediently be your pet...

The cage she used to keep for herself was her "home," and back then she used a marriage certificate to lock herself in. Now, the cage she keeps for herself is this kind of bed, and what's locking him in... seems pretty obvious.

After confirming that the only boundary he could move around in was the bed, Su Yu gave a wry smile. He had finally regained his memories, only to have her see through his act...

Su Yu only remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to have drunk a glass of water that Lin Qingmeng handed him. At that time, her expression was very strange, but he didn't think much of it and drank it.

He thought his acting was flawless, but just like before, she saw right through him. Like a hunter who always knows his prey perfectly, Su Yu realized that this time... he seemed to have nowhere to escape...

Su Yu gritted his teeth, somewhat helpless…

The leisurely time didn't last long. A girl humming a song walked briskly toward the cage.

Su Yu heard the voice and subconsciously shrank back a bit. The girl saw this action, but she was in a good mood and didn't seem to intend to hold it against him.

The way she hummed was so cheerful, as if she had obtained something extraordinary. The song she hummed was also strange; for some reason, one could hear a hint of smugness in it.

Her steps were light and rhythmic, like a song, striking Su Yu's heart one beat at a time. It was a beautiful sound, yet it made him tremble all over.

She finally walked to the bedside, looked at Su Yu who was trembling all over, and laughed. She sat on the edge of the bed and used her slender fingers to remove Su Yu's blindfold.

She is beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, like the most beautiful work of art in the world. Everyone who sees her cannot help but marvel at her beauty.

Her captivating peach blossom eyes seemed to express the myriad thoughts in a woman's heart. At this moment, those eyes were filled with excitement, and her small, rosy lips curved into an alluring smile.

However, the expression on her alluring and seductive face now was somewhat morbid, but aside from that morbidity, her face still showed an uncontrollable excitement and joy.

Like a child who has received a beloved toy.

Su Yu trembled even more violently when he saw that stunningly beautiful face.

Her eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement as she reached out to touch the handcuffs binding Su Yu's wrists. The handcuffs were thick and cold, but they didn't seem as cold as Su Yu's heart.

"Xiaoyu, are you happy? You didn't seem to like the house I gave you before, so I had to move you to another place. Don't blame me."

Although he said he didn't want to blame them, there was still an undisguised smugness in his tone.

"The moment you heard that voice, didn't you also hope that it was that naive and innocent girl coming to save you, Xiaoyu? Why are you being so naughty? We're already married."

Su Yu looked at her, and suddenly her tone became somewhat aggrieved, and her expression became pitiful, with her slightly pouting lips as if she was about to cry, all of which seemed to be telling her that she was unhappy.

Her stunningly beautiful face revealed this expression, and anyone who saw it would surely feel heartbroken. How could such a beauty be allowed to show such an expression?

But even when she pretended to be wronged, she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"But it's okay, Xiaoyu, this place is very secluded. We don't have to worry about being discovered anymore. We can be together without worry!"

Her grievances

Ba seemed to disappear in an instant, her voice trembling with excitement.

Su Yu clenched her teeth even tighter.

See? She's a madwoman.

She then stroked Su Yu's face with her hand, her movements gentle yet occasionally firm, as if she dared not use too much force, as if she would lose her most beloved toy if she used too much force.

She always seemed so unpredictable, and this time her voice had become somewhat dangerous, her words filled with a threatening tone.

"Xiaoyu, why won't you talk to me?"

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Yu with a puzzled expression. Su Yu said in a trembling voice, "Lin Qingmeng, you are a liar and a madman."

The moment she heard his voice, she seemed a little happy again: "Hehe, I was worried about what would happen if Xiaoyu couldn't speak anymore. But why did Xiaoyu scold me?"

"Xiaoyu never used to scold me, right? It seems Xiaoyu is sick. I need to get her treated properly."

"And besides, and besides, it was Xiaoyu who lied to me first, it was you who started it first."

"Didn't Xiaoyu say she would love me forever? Didn't she promise to marry me willingly in the future? In the end, she was just lying to me. You just wanted to use me."

"Hahahaha, Xiaoyu, do you know what? Do you know what? After finding out that you were using me, I was so happy, because that means I can act with you without worry."

"If I had been like this from the beginning, Xiaoyu would definitely have left me, right? So, Xiaoyu, how was your acting, my jealous young lady?"

"Praise me, Xiaoyu."

"Between the two of us, who's lying to whom? Hehe."

She finally stopped pretending and slowly moved closer and closer to Su Yu. Su Yu looked at her, and at this moment her eyes were full of a morbid love, a love that swallowed Su Yu like the sea, a love that made him breathless and suffocated.

Her love was a bottomless quagmire, trapping people tightly, blocking out the light, making it impossible to break free, only allowing them to slowly sink deeper and deeper…

Yes, whose lie was exposed?

Whose is it...?

If possible, Su Yu really didn't want to make those deals anymore...

Those deals... ruined him.

1. The Arrogant Young Lady

"You said you want to break up with me? Su Yu! Have you thought this through?"

A voice filled with disbelief rang out, followed by intense anger. What was originally a pleasant sound now sounded rather grating.

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

Then a crisp sound rang out, like a slap.

Let's go back to the morning.

On a hot summer day, on campus.

A long queue had formed at a milk tea shop during lunch break. It was almost time for afternoon classes, so most of the people in line were getting impatient.

Queuing in this sweltering summer heat is hardly a pleasant experience, especially standing under the blazing sun with no shade at all.

The hot weather made most people look impatient.

Most people who come to buy milk tea are in groups, with couples being the most numerous. Milk tea has become a staple for couples on dates, though it's unclear when it started.

Because of the timing—afternoon classes are about to start—people who come to buy milk tea usually have a specific purpose. Those who just want a sip have already given up queuing up, since being late isn't a big deal, but it's not insignificant either.

Generally, if you're the only person still queuing up at this time, then that person is basically taken.

The milk tea shop is located in a fairly conspicuous spot on campus. Girls passing by will often chat with their companions when they see a boy queuing in line.

"Hey, did you see that? Su Yu is buying milk tea for Lin Qingmeng again. It's so hot, and Lin Qingmeng still asks Su Yu to buy it for her every day. Su Yu is really good-natured."

"If I were Su Yu, I would have broken up with Lin Qingmeng long ago. There are plenty of girls in school who are just as pretty as Lin Qingmeng, why would I keep hanging on to one person?"

"They're a handsome couple, it's none of your business."

"Hey, what are you saying? You know perfectly well what Lin Qingmeng is like to Su Yu. Su Yu is practically portrayed as a simp by the confession wall."

"Isn't what he did just groveling?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's go."

The two women left quickly, and not long after, Su Yu, whom they had mentioned, also left with milk tea.

Fortunately, it was almost time, and more people left; otherwise, it would be uncertain whether they could even buy anything now. As for the looks from others earlier, Su Yu felt he was already used to them.

He let out a soft sigh.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Standing in line for milk tea in the sweltering heat without any shade was truly unbearable, especially if it weren't for his little darling wanting some…

Su Yu walked towards the teaching building. Many girls were watching him, but Su Yu was somewhat immune to their gazes.

He was very handsome, always wearing a gentle smile. His eyes were as beautiful as black gemstones, dazzling and captivating. His hair was just a mess of short, choppy strands, but it seemed to accentuate his good looks even more.

This is a top university in China, and there are quite a few handsome men and beautiful women. However, Su Yu is considered quite famous. His family is very ordinary, or rather, he doesn't have a family at all.

He was an orphan who had supported himself through hard work since childhood.
