Story Outline:
In the light-hazed city, everyone keeps secrets deeply in their heart - yet still yearns to be seen, to be needed.
Evelyn Liu, a girl whose icy exterior barely conceals the fractures within, carries her old dreams and love, hiding in the crowd. She believes she can control every relationship - yet each encounter pulls her deeper until she gets devoured by the abyss of each other.
There is no such thing as an "ideal lover", only endless cycles of intimacy and distance, temptation and resistance. Some may offer her purity and warmth while some others may drag her down.
Will you dive into the depths with her - or say do you believe the light still exists?

Diana

Lorelei
A careerist with no regret.
A serpentine and assertive girl who enjoys the pain in every sense, fated to drag Evelyn into a shared twisted descent.
Once material desires were sated, a deeper craving of obsessions and love awoked.
