   This book is about a double dilemma. However, I feel that there is no normal person except Shou. Gong only becomes normal in the later period. It is a bit coercive but Shou is very smart and I really love it. This novel is a bit abnormal but the more I read it, the more addictive it becomes.

    ### Story summary - **Punishment in the Basement**: Jiang You went to a bar with his friends and was discovered by Huo Hechen. He locked him in the basement and forced him to drink alcohol as punishment, showing Huo Hechen's twisted desire for control and Jiang You's fear and helplessness. - **Power and Fear**: As the most powerful person in the imperial capital, Huo Hechen had absolute control over Jiang You. Jiang You was forced to obey out of fear, and at the same time, he was filled with the desire for freedom. - **Shadows of the Past**: Jiang You recalled the process of her father committing suicide three years ago after owing huge gambling debts. Her mother was seriously ill, and Ho Hechen showed up to "buy" her, revealing the reason why she became the canary in the cage. - **Glossy on the surface**: Jiang You was allowed to go to art college, but had to return to Hochchen's villa every night and live a life of surveillance. He was depressed but did not dare to resist. - **Encounter and Hope**: Jiang You met Zhou Lin, a college classmate at an art exhibition. The other party expressed concern for her and invited her to a birthday party. This was the first time in three years that she felt normal social interaction. - **Fatal Choice**: Jiang You ventured to attend Zhou Lin's birthday party, but was discovered by Huo Hechen's spy at the bar, which led to the current punishment situation. She realized that she could never escape Huo Hechen's control. This writing section mainly describes the scene where Jiang You was punished by Huo Hechen in the basement, interspersed with her memories of the past three years of life, and the cause of this punishment - her adventurous participation in a class reunion. The story shows the twisted relationship between power and control. --- In the dark basement, the humid air was mixed with the mellow aroma of red wine and the smell of Jiang You's tears. The pale light cast down from above her head, stretching her shadow very long and distorting it onto the cold cement wall. "Why are you crying? Baby, you can't bear this?" Hochchen's voice was low and dangerous, like a dull knife slowly cutting her nerves. Jiang You knelt on the ground, his knees had long lost feeling, and his hands were weakly supporting the cold ground. Her cheeks were forced up, and Hochchen's long and strong fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth. "Oh... Don't..." Jiang You's tears fell down his cheeks and dripped on Huo Hechen's black leather shoes. She tried to shake her head, but the man's strength prevented her from moving. There was an abnormal blush on the tips of the ears due to shame and alcohol, which spread to the slender neck. Hochchen was sitting on the valuable leather sofa. His black suit outlined his perfect figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist. He looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at an object rather than a living person. The innate pressure of the superior made Jiang You tremble instinctively, and even his breathing became cautious. "Ha, don't you like drinking, honey? You went to the bar with a wild man, and I will ask you to drink enough today!" The man sneered, picked up the crystal decanter, and the dark red liquid poured down like blood. Jiang You choked and coughed, and the red wine spilled from the corner of her mouth, dripping down her chin and onto the white dress, spreading a shocking red color. "Ahem—" Jiang You closed his eyes in pain, his throat burning. The white jade finger on Hochchen's thumb was pressed against her cheek, and the cold and hard touch reminded her of that rainy night three years ago. That day, my father jumped from a thirty-story office building, leaving behind a huge gambling debt and a wife who was seriously ill in bed. The debt collectors smashed everything they could in the house, and my mother almost died crying on the hospital bed. Nineteen-year-old Jiang You knelt on the ground, pressing his forehead against the cold floor, saying "I will pay back the money" over and over again. Then Hochchen showed up. He was wearing the same black suit as today, and his leather shoes stepped on the broken glass on the floor, and stopped in front of her. Jiang You will always remember the first words he said: "Raise your head." She looked up tremblingly and met a pair of bottomless eyes. Hochchen looked at her for a long time, so long that she thought time had stopped. Finally, he reached out to wipe off the blood on her face and said, "From today on, you are mine." That night, Hochchen paid off all her debts and arranged for the best hospitals and doctors to treat her mother. In exchange, Jiang You became the canary in his cage. "Ugh... I was wrong, Mr. Huo, I don't dare anymore, please spare me..." The memory was interrupted by reality, and Jiang You struggled to beg for mercy. She felt her stomach churn, the alcohol was burning in her blood, and her vision began to blur. Hochchen finally stopped drinking, but his hand still clamped her chin. "Then dear, tell me, where did you go wrong?" His voice was soft, but it made Jiang You's hair stand on end. Jiang You's eyelashes trembled, and tears blurred her vision. She knew what Hochchen wanted to hear, but her throat was too tight to say those humiliating words. Three days ago, the Art Institute held a small painting exhibition. As a student in the Oil Painting Department, Jiang You's works were selected for the exhibition. Hochchen rarely allowed her to participate in such a public event, and sent two bodyguards to follow her from a distance. At the art exhibition, she met Zhou Lin. "Jiang You? It's really you!" Zhou Lin approached in surprise, "You almost don't come to school this semester. Everyone thinks you have transferred to another school." Jiang You subconsciously took half a step back and caught a glimpse of the bodyguard not far away from the corner of his eye. "I... Have something to do at home." She replied softly, twisting her skirt unconsciously with her fingers. Zhou Lin was her college classmate, a bright and cheerful boy who once lent her charcoal pencils in sketch classes and secretly handed her tissues when she was criticized by the professor. His brown eyes were full of sincere concern: "Are you okay? Your face doesn't look good." At that moment, Jiang You suddenly wanted to cry. For the first time in three years, someone looked at her in such a normal way, not treating her as an accessory of Hochchen, not looking at her with envy or contempt. "I'm fine." She forced a smile. Zhou Lin didn't notice anything unusual about her, and pointed at her painting excitedly: "Your technique has improved so much! By the way, it's my birthday this weekend, and some of my classmates are going to a Blue Note party, will you come too?" Jiang You's first reaction was to refuse. Hochchen never allowed her to attend any private gatherings. But looking at Zhou Lin's expectant eyes and thinking of his life as a prisoner, a rebellious emotion suddenly surged into his heart. "Okay," she heard herself say. When Jiang You returned to the villa that night, he couldn't sleep. Huo Hechen went abroad on a business trip. This was a rare opportunity for her. The next day, she made an excuse to go to the library, ditched the bodyguard, and secretly went to the Blue Note bar. It was the first time in three years that she felt free. The lights in the bar were dim and the music was deafening. Jiang You sat in the corner, sipping the mojito Zhou Lin ordered for her. The classmates were chatting and laughing, no one asked her why she never came to class, and no one looked at her strangely. For a moment, she almost forgot whose pet she was. Until—— "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Huo, please go back immediately." A stranger

At first, he helped his brother pursue the female protagonist, but then he directly slapped her in the face and begged the female protagonist to hit her. Male Protagonist 3: The unruly young master has misogyny, but in reality he is really a puppy, with a hard mouth and a soft heart. He and the female protagonist are so sweet that they fall in love with each other in the lottery. One of my favorites, the fourth male protagonist: a painter but can't see colors, loves the heroine without knowing it, wants to see colors but is afraid of being addicted. Male Protagonist 5: Celebrities have face blindness. It has not been updated yet. Readers are invited to explore on their own. The female protagonist: She only cares about money and is emotionally slow, but she can accurately guess the male protagonist's thoughts and has a career-oriented mind.

Moreover, the heroine's character is really both male and female.

    You can read it when you are short of books, they are all very interesting. The author's writing style is also quite good. The first and fourth ones are those who cultivate immortality and are the heroine type. The second and third ones are both interstellar novels. I personally like reading these two books very much during this period. They are also about heroines and group portraits. I really like these two books.
