Jamel Xiao's birthday gift to Wen Zhiyu was a tail ring engraved with his name. He said, "If you wear it on your little finger, you are mine," but he never asked Wen Zhiyu if he was willing. He used resources to build a wall, cut off the other party's retreat, and said "for your own good" as the most honorable shackles.
Wen Zhiyu had avoided loneliness for half his life, but felt even more suffocated by Jamel Xiao's "preference". He secretly hid his ID card, wrote down a dense escape plan in the studio, and finally chose to use an "accident" by the river to bid farewell to the person he loved and feared. The tail ring was left on the river beach, becoming the only "relic" in Xiao Jingyan's hand, and it also became an obsession that he would dwell on again and again in the next year.
It wasn't until the reunion at the art museum, with the sound of ribbon-cutting scissors falling to the ground, that Jamel Xiao knew that the tail ring that had not sunk into the river, and the person who had not left, were waiting for an answer - do you want to lock me with you, or do you want me to stay willingly?
Intent: "Control in the Name of Love" takes Xiao Jingyan's paranoia and Wen Zhiyu's escape as an incision, revealing that "coercion is not love, and control cannot buy sincerity", criticizes the misplaced emotions that package possessiveness into "protection", and conveys that respecting boundaries is the core of the cornerstone of intimate relationships.
