Sixteen-year-old Mu Yun was on the verge of collapse in the abyss of school bullying. In despair, she called out another self - the powerful and calm guardian "Xi He". Xihe's shadowy methods brought temporary peace, but the "love" between mother and daughter turned into more suffocating control. Her mother regarded her "abnormality" as a disease that must be cured and forcibly sent her to a mental institution.
The treatment was "successful", and Xihe seemed to be "cured" by the medicine and discipline and disappeared. Mu Yun returned to life with an empty "normal", but encountered more secret rumors and isolation in the new environment. When reality once again crushed her fragile balance and she was on the verge of collapse, her mother issued a final fatal call to her with twisted "eternal love" on her bedside.
This is a cycle that begins with violence and ends with destruction.
The story asks: When the external world is full of scars and inner salvation is regarded as madness, is there still a way for individuals to survive? Is the light born in a desperate situation a sign of salvation or a prelude to deeper darkness? If love becomes a cage that swallows everything, will its end be symbiosis or death together?
Purpose: The novel explores the spiritual survival and destruction of traumatized individuals under extreme oppression. Through the dependence and confrontation of the dual personalities "Mu Yun" and "Xi He", it shows how violence, distorted family ties and social prejudice push people to the edge, questioning the definition of "normal" and the nature of healing. In the end, the tragedy is not only the death of the individual, but also the strangulation and alienation of the unique spiritual form by the system (family, society, medical care).
