The Slag Gong wants to Kill me

I wholeheartedly recommend this. MC Shen Yizhou is a brilliant, Oscar-caliber actor with a touch of psychopathy. Here's a spoiler alert: When he discovers his husband's infidelity, he takes drastic action by killing him and even involves their childhood sweetheart in a disturbing scene. The story is concise and well-constructed, although many character names are referred to as A, B, or husband. The epilogue reveals the MC's identity, and possibly the ML's, providing a satisfying conclusion. If you're still curious, the ML holds the title of Film Emperor.

It wasn't as impressive as everyone claimed. I concur that the main character appeared quite psychopathic, maintaining an eerily calm demeanor amidst everything, lacking empathy. He could effortlessly manipulate his emotions, knowing precisely when and how to present them, unlike an average person who would instinctively express their feelings without analyzing. His revenge plan didn't sit well with me either; I believe death is too easy a solution. I prefer a slow, torturous process that leaves the victim lingering between life and death, turning their own existence into a form of mercy rather than punishment. I craved a confrontational scene, wanting to witness the reactions of the cheaters when their actions were laid bare before the world. Would they repent, or remain despicable?

Unfortunately, none of that transpired. Additionally, the plan had its flaws. A spoiler: The murder clearly occurred within the room, and the locks were outside, suggesting an accomplice if the childhood sweetheart's alibi was genuine. This undermined the assumption that only two people were at the villa. Fingerprint analysis on the lock should have been considered. Despite having a knife, the autopsy revealed the victim died from drug C, not cannibalism. Yet, no one delved deeper into who supplied the drug. The protagonist's explanation to shift blame onto himself was flimsy – if forced, wouldn't he prioritize severing ties with the victim to avoid inheriting his assets? Why risk it if all he wanted was to be with his "true love" freely? And how does his supposed forced captivity align with the video from the movie's fourth promotional event, which portrayed the childhood sweetheart as eager and promiscuous? It raises questions about the legality of their relationship.

While I'm not opposed to graphic content, this storyline lacks coherence, leaving me bemused. If you're content with going along with it without thinking too much, you might enjoy it, but for me, it falls short.

This scenario can be referred to as "Playing the Game of Deception." Let me briefly introduce the key players: Our protagonist, a wolf disguised as a sheep, the oblivious target, whom we'll call渣龚/Hubby, unsure of whom he's trying to deceive. Then there's the cunning antagonist, a seemingly innocent, ethereally beautiful "white swan" or White Lotus, and the film emperor/ex-boyfriend, possibly a naive victim himself, manipulated by the protagonist.

The storyline itself is engaging, but one must be wary of the morally complex characters. I rate it 4.5 stars. The main character exhibits remarkable manipulation, making any relationship with them feel unsettling, like navigating a world of illusions.

"WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Picture this scenario: You met your spouse during university, and they actively pursued you. You were already established as a successful writer prior to graduation, which propelled your career forward. Conversely, your partner faced setbacks in their business venture, but you supported them with your connections, despite facing disapproval from your in-laws.

Then, just as your husband reached the pinnacle of his career, he made the shocking decision to eliminate you. Undeterred, you took matters into your own hands and began investigating. To your surprise, you discovered his true intentions.

Some readers argue that the main character (MC) has a psychological issue, but I believe it's entirely normal for them to seek justice given the betrayal they experienced. If I were in their shoes, I might consider drastic measures too.

The story was narrated from MC's point of view, with character identities veiled. However, the epilogue revealed their true names, turning the reading experience into a guessing game for readers.

Throughout the story, when you thought MC made foolish decisions, like the key plot point, it was later revealed that those actions were calculated, showcasing their strategic planning in their quest for justice."

[END OF SPOILER CONTENT]

The book was exceptional; however, the epilogue left me slightly puzzled due to the introduction of character names. Despite that, I cherished the perspective of the main character (MC) without them, as it effectively conveyed his personality. He embodies the principle of 'an eye for an eye,' where betrayal is met with a tenfold retaliation. I found him to be quite compelling.

This tale is not for the faint-hearted; the author's storytelling prowess is truly commendable, and the translator deserves credit for unearthing such a captivating piece. It's an intriguing and dark read, delving into horror that resonates more deeply with my personal taste, as it avoids the typical ghostly or supernatural elements.

The novel left me with a complex mix of emotions – a sickening thrill that bordered on satisfaction, and a lingering horror that I can't quite shake. Surprisingly, I wouldn't mind seeing more from the author, despite the intense nature of the story.

While I'm tempted to wholeheartedly recommend it, I must caution against reading this if even the slightest hint of fear, something outside your comfort zone, or outright aversion to such themes bothers you. However, personally, I enjoyed it immensely and am giving it a solid 5-star rating.

Summary: A captivating appetizer; don't let the title deter you, as it's just the beginning of an engaging tale.

Plot: This story is dark and gruesome, yet strangely satisfying, revolving around a twisted revenge narrative where the protagonist (HE) and main love interest (ML) play their roles masterfully. The conflict involves a cuckolded husband, his mistress, and supporting characters like the loyal brother, the supportive editor, the naive film emperor, and the observant yet somewhat foolish detective.

Romance: Expect no conventional romance; instead, the focus is on intense confrontations and a small, begrudging dose of affection that unfolds towards the end, with the main love interest's confirmation reserved for the epilogue.

Length: Each chapter is shorter than typical Chinese novel lengths, making this a perfect choice for a fast-paced read. With a reading speed that suits your preference, you can easily devour the entire series in 1 to 5 hours.

Final, Highly-Opinionated Recommendation: If you're looking for a quick, intense, and perhaps morally ambiguous read, this book is definitely worth your time! So grab it now!

Great read! It combines elements of suspense, mystery, and murder. What I appreciate is the open-ended narrative that encourages readers to piece together the story themselves, trying to identify characters and hidden motives.

From what I gather, the main character (MC) and Editor B (Ji Qu in the epilogue) had a history together but were separated for years, with MC seemingly being the one who ended the connection. Both characters seem to struggle with mental health issues; MC might exhibit sociopathic or psychopathic traits, while Editor B/Ji Qu becomes increasingly fixated on MC, almost like a loyal dog.

When MC reaches out to Editor B, he becomes entangled in MC's life and uncovers the husband's affair with MC's childhood friend. Editor B even serves as an alibi and aids MC in hiding their actions. The reason for Editor B's loss of "someone" in the epilogue lies in witnessing MC with the movie mogul.

During the three-year period when Editor B was in a state of amnesia or hypnosis, MC maintained a relationship with the movie mogul to leverage his power, possibly to protect the childhood friend from Detective D. The childhood friend, realizing he wasn't crazy, planned to escape from the asylum but hesitated due to fear of MC. Seeing Editor B triggered his impatience, leading to a quicker action.

Detective D likely suspects a conspiracy between MC and Editor B. If Editor B were to regain his memories, it would complicate matters further for the childhood friend's rescue. The timeline goes like this:

- Car accident: MC wakes up, learns about the incident, and Editor B's intentions.
- MC requests hypnosis to forget, promising a chance if Editor B can resist the hypnotic state.
- Editor B's potential involvement in the car accident remains a speculation.

In summary, the story involves intricate relationships, hidden agendas, and a web of deceit that keeps readers engaged.

This is an intriguing read, actually. I wouldn't classify it as "Yaoi" since it revolves around a psycho's desire to avenge his husband's infidelity and perceived attempt on his life. It's unfortunate that such a gripping story falls under the Yaoi category, as it might be overlooked by many due to the lack of explicit sexual content or tender moments. The main character's motivation for revenge is clear after being betrayed, but I must admit that I found it hard to believe the husband genuinely tried to harm him after the protagonist's plans were set in motion.

One unique aspect of the story is that no character has a name until the epilogue, which adds a layer of intrigue. If you're interested in themes like murder, infidelity, revenge, psychological exploration, and a cunning protagonist, this might be worth checking out. However, if you're sensitive to betrayal, abuse, graphic violence, cannibalism, or minimal romance, it might not be the right fit for you.

In terms of the relationship dynamics, there's virtually no romantic involvement between the main characters. While the MC does end up with someone, the ending is open-ended, and their connection doesn't significantly impact the core plot.

As for the conclusion, the story might be seen as having a happy ending (HE) from the MC's perspective, although it's not a conventional love story.

Wow, this was quite an intense and gratifying experience, huh... It's almost unbelievable how the despicable characters always seem to escape. Are you tired of stories where they get away with their misdeeds? Well, feel free to vent your frustration here, and let's revel in the satisfaction together!

So, it's a tale about a psycho protagonist who skillfully eliminates the despicable husband, outwits the rest of the fools, all while being supported by an ex-lover (a film mogul), the husband's brother, a relative of the idiot, and a charming (or maybe not so much) editor B who adores the main character. Frankly, if there were a novel chronicling their twisted dynamic (assuming MC and B/Ji Qu have a romantic connection), I'd definitely give it a read, despite acknowledging it might not be the healthiest relationship dynamic. But hey, sometimes, darkness has its own appeal, doesn't it?

In an odd sort of way, there's a twisted satisfaction in reading this - it's like, who even cares about forgiveness? So many stories feature a <del>naive and simplistic</del> main character who forgives anything that comes their way. Being overly nice is just plain dull... and our protagonist couldn't be further from mundane.

Compared to other overly idealized tales, this novel shines because it has a <del>brash and unapologetic</del> anti-hero who couldn't give two cents about it. Frankly, I adore this darker narrative. The theme of revenge is undeniably compelling.

It may be morally questionable, but it feels invigorating and gratifying simultaneously.

The book you're reading would best be accompanied by "No Body, No Crime" by Haim and Taylor Swift. This song captures the essence and tone of the story, which is filled with unexpected twists. Initially, I assumed it would center around a misunderstanding, but it delves much deeper into a sinister plot.

The narrative revolves around a husband's desperate desire to eliminate his spouse (character referred to as Scum 1), leading to a tale of revenge, manipulation, murder, cannibalism, complex relationships, and even induced insanity. The anonymous approach until the climax adds to the intrigue.

As the story unfolds, we witness the husband meticulously plotting and executing a double murder, cleverly involving his editor as an alibi and gaining sympathy through feigned vulnerability. His reliance on influential figures and the compassion of others, particularly the film emperor and the brothers, masks his true nature. However, the only one truly aware of his dark side is his editor friend.

While the editor aids him in dealing with Scum 1, there's an element of uncertainty if the husband is using manipulation or genuine gratitude. The irony is that his revenge is driven by a connection between his spouse and his childhood sweetheart, despite his own history with someone else.

Despite the morally ambiguous protagonist, who could be seen as a toxic sociopath, the story captivates due to its shocking twists. As a work of fiction, it provides a satisfying continuation of "The Show Must Go On," another tale of excessive and dark revenge.

In summary, this book is a thrilling rollercoaster ride, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite its darker themes.
