When he was twelve years old, Zhou Yuan watched his father hack his mother to death.
The father was sentenced to life. He was thrown to relatives and learned to laugh. The brighter the smile, the less no one will notice - he has the same dream every night: blood on the white wall, father's lips behind the car window: "I'm sorry."
He became a psychiatrist. Heal others, numb yourself.
Until he met Gu Yanqing.
The dentist looked at him with such clean eyes, so clean that he was afraid - afraid that his father's blood was flowing in his bones, afraid that one day he would lose control, afraid that the only way to fall in love would be destruction.
So when Gu Yanqing said, "I want to pursue you for the purpose of getting married," Zhou Yuan agreed with a smile.
Then he started cheating.
It's not that I don't love you. It's so much love. I love you so much that I have to destroy you with my own hands so that I won't be like my dad - locking you in my arms and dying together.
But after Gu Yanqing found out, he didn't leave. He just hugged Zhou Yuan, who was trembling all over, and said:
"You are not him. You are you. And I will not let you become anyone else."
