I will give this a 3/5 because this is very hard and angsty and I'm not into thatĪnd there's also one thing that I hated about the end : He Yan keeps Fu Shen Xing's baby. Fu Shen Xing must live with the fact that he had the woman he loved r*ped, tortured, sold, aborted (yes, at some point, she was pregnant with her husband and he forced her to abort, out of jealousy, even though he was already in love with her) and that he's the one who gave her all of her sufferings when he now wishes to make her happy.
Now, he's confronted the fact that he did that and unlike him who tried to forget it all, hoping she would forget it too, she had to live with this. But his current feelings don't matter : the wrong is done. All this time, he had tried to escape and forget this guilt, hoping everyone (especially He Yan, the victim) would forget, because not only it made him crazy with shame and remorse (nothing to be proud, after all, to have done all of that to a woman to a woman when you're now claiming for her love) but also because he thinks that if He Yan were to forget, she might love him : but now, he can no longer be blind about his guilt. Now that he loves her, of course it doesn't feel the same to see her sufferings due to all of that and to remember what he did. For the 1st time, reality strikes him, although he had always known but he always tried to forget, to forget that this woman he's now very in love with, he's had her raped several times, r*ped her himself, used her r*pe to threaten and torment her in every way possible, forced to prostitution and even threatened her loved ones to force her to sully herself. However, at that time, he didn't care and even rejoiced of her suffering.
SERIES PREY BOOK FULL
When she's kidnapped by the first man to whom he sold her in the past, a pervert and a sadistic, he clearly realizes how much he hurt her and how impossible it is for her to love him : when he finds her being tortured by him, full of scars, after hours of crazy worries, her first reaction is to remind him that two years ago, he almost forced her to go through this for his personal pleasure.
Sometime, the pain of knowing she doesn't love him, even hates him, and the remorse almost make him crazy and for us readers, that feels good. He may have her, have her body but he'll never have her heart or her trust and what's worst, he knows that he did everything to deserve her treatment.
He's now not only prey of his love for her because she doesn't love him and never will but also of his guilt and torment to have hurt, sullied and shamed the one he now loves. But it's too late : he's hurt her so much that not only she could never love him but she can never forget the scars that are in her heart and will always hate him.Īnd this is his punishment : not only he falls in love, and therefore has a weakness, but he must now live with the pain of knowing the one he loves will never love him back, and with the guilt of knowing that he only has himself to blame for that. Fu Shen Xing slowly falls for her, and in that way, he actually becomes her prey, or at least, prey of the love he has for her. And then, things slowly start to change, at least, on her jailer's side. Like I said, she's a fighter)Īnd this is where we understand the origin of the title : « Who is the prey? »Īt first, it seems the female lead, He Yan, is the prey of the psychological torture imposed by Fu Shen Xing. She may get kinda attached to him or get used to be him at some point (though it seems to be more out of survival) but not once, she forgets everything he's put her through (even though she's sometimes so emotionally broken and exhausted that she considers forgetting it all, and just letting days go, allowing her jailer to have her and even pretending she likes him : however, we quickly realize she's a fighter and so, even if she's tired, even if she's down, she'll always get up again, always remember that she can't live like that, live with someone she hates and lie to herself that she's okay with living with the one who ruined her life and had her r*ped, even though he now loves her. In here, the victime gets r*ped several times (and even gets threatened with a video) and is forced to leave her beloved husband and to live with one of her rapists, the one who orchestrated it all but she never forgives him or falls for him.
