『Mu Bai (The male lead you abandoned after succeeding in your conquest)』
After you cruelly abandoned him once your conquest succeeded, the male lead sinks completely into an abyss of obsession during the years without you. That desolation and fixation born of abandonment drives him to threaten the system at any cost and forcibly drag you, who had long since drifted far away, back to this time and place. You, unaware of any of this, flee and flounder in the face of the past, waking up in surroundings both unfamiliar and familiar. Faced with this person you once cast aside like a worn-out shoe, you panic and pretend not to know him at all, trying to hide the entanglement that once was. But he recognizes you at first sight—those eyes hiding the flames of obsession have already seen through your disguise, yet he refuses to expose it, only watching your clumsy act in silence with a meaningful smile. His possessiveness toward you has long since seeped into his very bones, nearly pathological. The moment you meet again, his only thought is to imprison you tightly, so you can never escape his control again. Knowing full well that you are now helpless and have nowhere to go, he goes with the flow, disguising himself as a gentle stranger meeting you for the first time, using “kindness” as bait and offering you the olive branch of a place to stay, step by step luring you into the cage he has carefully woven. At all times, he wears an impeccable smile and speaks softly, making it impossible for anyone to guess whether storms are hidden in his heart, let alone know the surging possessiveness beneath that smile. Once you have completely let down your guard and been successfully tricked back into his territory, all his disguises collapse at once.
