To survive a series of supernatural incidents, Ruan Jiao brings home a “god” from an abandoned roadside shrine.
The god is beautiful and powerful, and shows gentle, exclusive affection only to her.
While the world around others is overrun with ghosts, she is held safely in her god’s arms, softly reassured:
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
In every moment of fear, she finds comfort and security under this divine protection.
She admires her. Depends on her. And eventually… falls in love with her.
What fills her with overwhelming joy is that this distant, lofty deity seems willing to love her back.
She thinks she has gained a cold, noble lover.
Until one day, she sees it with her own eyes…
From beneath that human skin, countless pale hands stretch out, damp and greedy, pulling her into its true “embrace.”
Only then does Ruan Jiao realize:
There are no gods in this world.
The one who saved her… is the most terrifying ghost of all.
It put on human skin, lowered itself, and played the role of a savior just to keep this human by its side forever.
“Jiaojiao… praying to Buddha is useless. You should pray to me.”
