He is a public interest lawyer from a well-known law firm in the city. He fights lawsuits for them for free and helps them escape and regain their freedom.
But no one knows that his mother is also a female college student in the mountains.
No one knew that the way he loved her was exactly the same as the way his father loved his mother.
Lin Dongxia first met Chen Jin at the legal aid center. He was a gentle and restrained lawyer. He remembered that she drank coffee with a little sugar, would send umbrellas on rainy days, and sent good night messages every night. She is a woman without a past - no identity, no relatives, no friends, like a plant that does not need sunlight, barely maintaining life.
He said: "I will protect you"
She believed it
He helped her move, deleted all male contacts in her address book, pretended to be her to reject job opportunities, and monitored her whereabouts all the time. He said this was love, concern, and fear of losing her.
He said: "You are mine and I will not let you escape."
Until she met her elegant but mentally disturbed mother in the yard of his hometown. Her mother said to her in French: "He will destroy you."
She understood
But she can't leave anymore
This is a story about redemption and destruction. He redeems everyone, but cannot save himself; he loves her, so he wants to pull her into the same abyss.
When love turns into imprisonment, when protection turns into control, when "for your own good" turns into the gentlest cage - she finally understands that he is not her salvation.
He is another abyss
He saves others because he can't save himself. He loves her because he hates himself.
