A cold-faced, scheming top x a stubborn, delicate bottom
Gong Zicheng begins by forcibly binding himself to his wife. He keeps her under surveillance, scares her, and deliberately acts harshly toward her. He knows she doesn't want to depend on him, so he cries and suffers alone.
He's a little obsessive and unhinged. Ye Qing isn't entirely a delicate flower either. He grows, and gradually comes to understand the pain Gong Zicheng endured in the past, as well as his own part in it. Their relationship isn't plagued only by misunderstandings; there's also a chasm between them that can never be crossed.
But in the end, with only each other left, they decide to let everything go. They face the past honestly and begin their future anew.
