The moment I stepped into the university gate, I (He Junlin) thought I was ushering in freedom, but unexpectedly I fell into an airtight cage. Yan Haoxiang, the scheming second-generation rich man, imprisoned me with force, and the protection of his sweetheart Liu Yaowen was vulnerable to his oppression; Song Yaxuan, who changed my bed for me, had greed hidden in his eyes, academic tyrant Ding Chengxin used the name of study to control me, and Zhang Zhenyuan always took advantage of the situation to be frivolous. In addition, Ma Jiaqi, a senior student with a high profile, paid special attention to me because of my appearance. In the name of love, they regarded me as a prey to satisfy their possessive desire. My resistance was in vain due to the absolute disparity in power. In this entanglement of desire, I could only let them control me in depression and despair.
Purpose: The novel takes He Junlin's imprisoned dilemma as the core, revealing the distortion of human nature and the cruelty of power imbalance under the influence of desire. When "like" becomes an excuse to satisfy possessiveness, and when individual wishes are completely crushed by group power, He Junlin's struggle and despair become a victim of the power game. The work profoundly satirizes control and harm in the name of love, shows the helplessness and sinking of vulnerable individuals in extreme circumstances, and triggers reflection on the boundaries of human nature and the bottom line of morality.
