This story brings a new twist to "Never let me go." Not just for the one whoâs holding on, but for the one who secretly wants to be held.
Lin Yueqin is known as the Ice Empress, sharp, untouchable, and incapable of love. Xu Zhihao is the illusionist, an actor who sells perfect romances he doesnât believe in. They didn't belong in the same world. But when a contract ties them together, so does something else: obsession, control, vulnerability.
Every time they get closer, something bigger tears them apartâhis past, her pride, the world watching. But what truly threatens them isnât a villain or a scandal.
Itâs how much they need each other... and how deeply they fear what that says about them.
This isnât just a love story. Itâs about emotional power, aching dependence, and the quiet, terrifying hope that someone might choose you⌠even when they shouldnât.
