Ye Qiuchen
- Identity: Top psychiatrist, gentle on the surface, but actually the breeder of "caged birds" - he built an isolated "sterile paradise" for Xu Yunian, and trapped him under his control in the name of "treatment".
- Traits: Paranoid, extremely possessive, good at weaving cages with gentle words, holding a scalpel in his left hand and a rose in his right hand, twisting "love" and "imprisonment" into symbiotic vines.
- Obsession: Xu Yunian was the "only light" he saved from the ruins of the fire. He would never allow this light to go out again, even at the cost of "imprisonment".
Xu Yunian
- Identity: A genius painter who lost all his relatives in a fire and suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. He was adopted and "treated" by Ye Qiuchen.
- Characteristics: Cold and brittle on the outside, with the flame of madness hidden in his heart. His paintings are full of dark fairy tale metaphors (butterflies entangled in thorns, burning birds in cages). He seems to be resigned, but in fact he is secretly looking for opportunities to break free.
- Secret: He remembers the truth about the fire. Ye Qiuchen's "rescue" was no accident, and his "disease" may be a disguise to resist confinement.
