Summary
When Shu Xun wakes inside a novel, the future yandere wolfkin second male lead is still a round-cheeked child clutching her thumb. She decides to raise He Li well, train him to survive, and leave gracefully after taking the knife meant to remove her from the plot. But every kindness changes the story. He Li grows taller, stronger, and far more calculating than the tragic boy she remembers. He hides his claws behind pitiful eyes, stages every moment of weakness, and uses his once-in-a-lifetime wolfkin mark on her before she can escape to college. When the original hero and heroine finally appear, Shu Xun expects the plot to correct itself. Instead, He Li crosses a thousand kilometers through the first snow, ready to shatter the mask he has worn for years. The little wolf she raised never wanted the heroine. He has only ever wanted her—and he has spent years learning how to make her walk willingly into every trap.
