On the seventeenth night when the autumn rain knocked on the windowpane, Su Qing's fingers stopped on the guitar score she had just arranged. She raised her head, and Lin Shen was looking down at her pill box to make sure each pill was in the right place. He did this action so naturally, like breathing. Su Qing suddenly spoke, her voice so soft that it was almost swallowed up by the sound of rain: "Lin Shen, replace the god in your heart with me, okay?"
The rain stopped. Lin Shen looked at Su Qing who was sleeping in her arms, with wet tears still hanging on her eyelashes. He tried to summon the Patronus in his mind, and for the first time the image became blurry. Instead, there were Su Qing's amber eyes and her desperate expression as she demanded absolute faith.
The city lights outside the window reflected on the ceiling, flickering on and off.
Lin Shen didn't know that at the moment this contract was reached, a certain balance had been permanently broken.
And he would come to understand much later: when one person becomes another person's god, they are destined to experience a slow, inevitable collapse together.
Concept: Growth is a continuous process, not a fairy tale of "being healed by love"
