Synopsis
Lin Shen has the most perfect life in the world: he has been in love with his soul mate Su Xiao for seven years, and they have been together like honey; his parents are kind, his parents-in-law are kind, and his family is happy; the warm sunshine in the small town near the river is wrapped in the fragrance of flowers, and his days are filled with honey without any regrets. He thought this sweetness would last until death, until Su Xiao suddenly disappeared, tearing apart all the illusion of tenderness. The bloody banquet in the remote mountain village, the warm and bloody minced meat, resembled the remains of his lover, crushing his happiness into powder. When he called the police, he was imprisoned by disguised gangsters. The torture of the meat grinder was heartbreaking, and he was shocked to realize: the police were fake, the family relationship was fake, and even Su Xiao, whom he had loved for ten years, was a complete fake. The human skin mask peels off, the truth about the bionic body emerges, and the most piercing cruelty is finally revealed - the real Su Xiao was skinned alive and died tragically in the darkness ten years ago. The perfect love he indulges in is a tailor-made imprisonment experiment; all the warmth he cherishes is a butcher knife wrapped in honey. The ultimate and perfect love is always Lingchi who will never be reincarnated. Lin Shen had the most perfect life in the world: seven years of deep love with his soulmate Su Xiao, sweet and inseparable; kind parents and gentle parents-in-law, a harmonious family; the warm sun of the riverside town wrapped in floral fragrance, his days flawless with honey. He thought this sweetness would last forever, until Su Xiao's sudden disappearance shattered all gentle illusions. A bloody feast in a mountain village, warm blood-stained minced meat, a corpse to his lover, crushed his happiness to dust. Calling the police led to his imprisonment by disguised gangsters, and the agony of the meat grinder pierced his heart. He finally realized: the police were fake, family love was fake, and even Su Xiao, whom he had loved identically for a decade, was a complete fake. When the human skin mask peeled off and the truth of the bionic body emerged, the most piercing cruelty was revealed—the real Su Xiao was skinned alive and died in darkness ten years ago. The perfect love he indulged in was a tailor-made imprisonment experiment; all the warmth he cherished was a butcher's knife wrapped in honey. The ultimate perfect love has always been an eternal torment with no redemption. In the warm sunshine of the small town near Linjiang, Lin Shen was trapped in a flawless fantasy of happiness like enamel: his beloved Su Xiao was as gentle as ever, his close relatives were by his side, the years were quiet, and his love was long-lasting. This perfection that spanned seven years was all the light in his life, but it collapsed when Su Xiao suddenly disappeared. The bloody chef in the mountains, the disguised law enforcer, and the near-death torture in the meat grinder, the perfect mask is torn apart layer by layer. Beneath the human skin is a bionic body, ten years of love is a programmed lie, and the warmth of loved ones is a puppet show in which consciousness is imprisoned. The real Su Xiao has long been reduced to a sacrifice of "freedom", stripped off and annihilated in the darkness ten years ago; everything he owns is a systematic prison in the name of "love". When beauty is falsified, reality is obliterated, and emotions are reduced to rational experimental data, Lin Shen will eventually make the most tragic existential sacrifice between false perfection and real nothingness. This is the ultimate anatomy of love and existence, and it is also the most tragic soul martyrdom of human emotions under the tyranny of reason. In the warm sun of the riverside town, Lin Shen was trapped in a flawless happiness illusion like porcelain glaze: his beloved Su Xiao was as gentle as ever, his loved ones accompanied him, years were quiet and peaceful, and love lasted forever. This perfection spanning seven years was all the light in his life, yet it collapsed in an instant with Su Xiao's sudden disappearance. The bloody kitchen in the deep mountains, disguised law enforcers, and the near-death torture in the meat grinder, tore off the perfect mask layer by layer. Under the human skin was a bionic body, a decade of love was a programmed lie, and the warmth of his loved ones was a puppet show with imprisoned consciousness. The real Su Xiao had long been a sacrifice to "freedom", skinned alive and annihilated in darkness ten years ago; everything he owned was a systematic cage in the name of "love". When beauty is falsified, truth is erased, and emotions are reduced to rational experimental data, Lin Shen will eventually make the most tragic existential sacrifice between false perfection and real nothingness. This is an ultimate dissection of love and existence, and also the most solemn soul martyrdom of human emotions under the tyranny of pure reason.

Interspersed Perspective [Wu Que·Observer's Diary] ▸ Accounting for 15% Core: The cold and rational third-person perspective explains Lin Shen's emotional fluctuations from the perspective of an experimenter, using extreme calmness to contrast the extreme pain, forming cruel irony, laying down the core foreshadowing, and raising the brain-burning level. Fragmented Perspective [Bionic Xiao·Redundant Data Flow] ▸ 3% Core: The inhuman perspective of poetic chaos, using data flow and code fragments to show the birth and rebellion of the bionic body "love", deconstructing the essence of love, becoming the most sadistic undercurrent and philosophical finishing touch of the whole text.

Purpose: 1. Emotional level: tearing apart the illusion of "perfection is salvation", proving that if love loses its true background, no matter how strong the sweetness is, it is the prelude to lateness; 2. Existential layer: Asking "What makes a person human?" - When memories, emotions, and loved ones can all be forged, what should be the anchor for human self and existence? 3. The era layer: Criticizes the colonization of human nature by technological rationality, revealing that when rationality attempts to encode everything, human beings' most precious free souls and chaotic love will eventually become variables that are cleared. 1.
