u/Idkmaybeimtheproblem

Heyy guys, so as the title speaks for itself i picked up into the thrill manhwa without knowing that it was on an indefinite hiatus (sigh y’all should’ve warned me in advance…) and words on the street that the artist actually dropped it??? So since we were left on a cliffhanger and I’m so desperate to know what unfolded later on, i was contemplating if i should pick up the novel? The reason i was lowkey hesitant to pick it up in the first place is that it’s SO LONG yall😭 so i just wanna make sure that it’s worth it so i won’t waste my time :)
Lemme know your thoughts!!

If you’re in the mood for a possessive, watching-from-the-shadows ML who’s been obsessed with the MC way longer than the MC realizes, this one’s for you.

Chen Huai is 18 when his mom remarries into a wealthy, image-obsessed family — no blood ties, no real status, just an outsider in a beautiful cage. Then he meets his “brother in name,” Jiang Tingshi: cold, untouchable, strikingly beautiful. Looks at Chen Huai like he’s something dirty. Naturally, Chen Huai falls for him anyway, hard, in the way you’re not supposed to talk about out loud.

Meanwhile he’s getting unhinged texts from an unknown number — the kind that read sweet until you realize how much the sender actually knows about his day. He gets his hacker friend to trace it.
It’s coming from inside the house.

That’s basically where the story kicks off, and it only gets better from there. The suspense is genuinely well-paced — the ML’s “indifference” unravels into something much more calculated the deeper you go, and the reveals about how long he’s actually been watching the MC will keep you on edge the entire read. If you like yanderes with actual buildup, backstory and psychological weight instead of just possessive-for-shock-value, this scratches that itch.

CW: stepsibling dynamic (no blood relation, but still a family-taboo setup), stalking/surveillance, R*pe, possessiveness/obsession themes, confinement, dark/mature content.

Status: Raws are complete at 84 chapters. Translation I’m following is currently at ch. 50 — anyone know if there’s a way picking this up further, or has managed to get through the raw source? (Registration on the raw material site is brutal if you don’t have a CN number.) and couldn’t find the book on amazon either :(

Can someone pls help me with the title of this manhwa i saw this pic on an X post but there was no title :(
