Dark Salvation

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Shakespeare – [The Tempest] As a form of punishment for mistakenly killing an innocent civilian, Song Zhuyu, a priest and part-time exorcist, found himself exiled to the distant shores of Shenci Island, hundreds of miles away from his hometown and the only city he had ever known his whole life. However, unbeknownst to anyone, he harbored a secret agenda— to hunt down the culprit who had turned his life upside down. Fully prepared for meeting danger at every turn, what he encountered instead was a beautiful, serene island, albeit with two strange ironclad rules: First, do not climb the hill after 1 AM. Second, do not interact with Rui Ye. On the first night of his stay, Song Zhuyu broke two of the taboos, only to discover that the infamous Rui Ye was nothing like he had expected. “I am cursed,” the blind, beautiful man told him with a wistful smile. “If you associate yourself with me, the curse will haunt you too.” In response, Song Zhuyu’s lips hooked into a careless smile, “I don’t think you have to worry about that. I, myself, am cursed as well. What’s the big deal about adding another one?” But as inexplicable deaths began to plague the island, Song Zhuyu realized that the island, including the helpless and soft-hearted Rui Ye he had come to know, held a far darker secret than he could've ever imagined. In a race against time, he must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal to unravel the island’s sinister truth and achieve his goal before it's too late. *** Pretty, flirtatious yet heartless priest gong x blind, mysterious and cursed shou Additional tags: gong/seme/top protagonist, action, mystery, suspense, horror, psychological, thriller, dark elements, angel and demons, slow romance, murder, crime, beautiful protagonist, older love interest, 1 vs 1, dubcon, supernatural creatures, exorcism, tragedy, past plays a big part Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord

How Good Would It Be?

With this promise dangling in front of him, Rui Ye seemed to have received a boost of motivation as he resumed carving with twice the amount of vigor and concentration. Yet the more he wanted it to be done sooner, the more prone he became to clumsiness, and he ended up cutting his fingers twice in the span of half an hour.

"Ouch." When he winced for the third time, Song Zhuyu decided he'd had enough. 

"Alright," he declared, plucking the knife out of Rui Ye's hand with an exasperated sigh. "You're not touching this again today."

"B–But…" Rui Ye snapped his head up in shock. "What about the promise?"

"Huh? Of course, you can just forget about it." Song Zhuyu sneered. "You still expect to fulfill it with your hands in such a state?"

"Noooo!" Rui Ye cried out desperately, lunging forward in an attempt to reclaim the knife. But Song Zhuyu held it out of his reach, cautioning, "Hey, hey, don't move around like that—urgh!"
