The Cage Under the Moonlight

Jiang Yu never imagined that Shen Wanting, who had always followed behind him with eyes curved in smiling crescents since childhood, had long rotted inside into a vast web feeding on him. They were neighbors, classmates, inseparable childhood sweethearts. He was so used to her presence, just like he was used to the air. Until that college party, when he got half-drunk and she took him back to her place. In a haze between sleep and waking, he heard her sweet voice tearfully confessing a love so chilling it made one's hair stand on end. In that moment, that face of pure first love and that bone-deep possessiveness became one and the same. Tonight, she stood beneath the male dormitory building, like a man-eating flower beginning its hunt under the moonlight.
