The Man I Casually Saved Years Ago Became a Love-Crazed Madman

In her second year of high school, amid the barking of stray dogs in an alley behind the county town, Lin Mang took Shen Nian's hand for the first time. He was covered in injuries, his eyes like those of a startled young animal, while she was a ray of light that had accidentally entered his gloomy world.

Years later, they meet again. Shen Nian has become a gentle young man who remembers all her likes and dislikes and always seems to show up by “coincidence.” Clumsily, he follows her, his eyes filled with careful, tentative affection. Lin Mang gradually softens, thinking this is a long-overdue mutual pursuit. But just as she's about to say yes, she discovers the hidden tracking device on his phone. Those “chance encounters” were all deliberate. Behind his gentleness lies an almost frenzied possessiveness and obsession.

He is the boy she once protected, and also a prisoner trapped in the shadows of the past. His father's death and years of repression have left deep scars on his heart. He sees her as his only lifeline and tries to hold on by extreme means. When his need for control tears through his gentle facade, and the wounds from his self-harm are laid bare before her, Lin Mang looks at the person who is both familiar and strange to her and finally understands: his dependence on her has become an inescapable shackle.

Salvation and ruin, tenderness and obsession: their story holds the struggle of two souls. Can she pull him out of the mire once more? And can he learn to love her without hurting her?
