    · Zhou Yan: · The "crazy and affectionate" male protagonist is ruthless but has double standards for the female protagonist. His famous line: "Shen Yu, if you run away once, I will destroy something you cherish." · Pain point: childhood trauma leads to distortion of emotional cognition, equating possession with love. · Shen Yu: · A heroine who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is tolerant in the early stage to make a living, but decisively fights back in the later stage. She is good at overcoming rigidity with softness. · Growth line: Awakening from "fear of being possessed" to "actively setting boundaries".
