Chapter 1

I’m a third-tier manga artist with a bit of a side hustle.

Shen Jing, the unhinged villain from my manga, came to life and stepped out of the pages.

He started a romance with me.

But even when I realized his condescending affection was nothing more than a play for my blood, I still couldn’t find the heart to pick up my pen and kill him off.

I’ve been dumped in a foul, maggot-ridden swamp, left for the sludge to swallow me whole.

This is a mass grave in Northern Myanmar, littered with the corpses of countless illegal immigrants, scam victims, and those who died in agony.

My blood has been nearly drained dry, my abdomen sliced open, and my kidney stolen.

Shen Jing ordered his men to do all of this.
