Undercurrent

"Jiang Chen, we can't go back." "Then start over. Get to know each other again as you are now." --- Luyu is a puddle of sober mud. He hates Jiang Chen, hates his innocence under the sun, hates that he has the "confidence to be loved" that he will never get. After the breakup, he lived his life like a large-scale experiment - looking for phantoms in countless people like Jiang Chen, and then pulling away when he came up with them, watching them with a cold look in shock. Jiang Chen is a false warm sun. He once thought that love was salvation, "rescuing" Lu Yu from darkness. Until Lu Yu tore off his disguise and sneered: "Your sunshine is just an act, right? You don't dare to face the real filth." Two years later, he passed out drunk at a Qing bar where they reunited. He knew he sucked, but he knew even more— Some addictions cannot be given up. --- Being entangled again is a deeper fall. Like two wounded beasts, they are looking for familiar warmth in each other's flesh and blood, and they are also adding salt to each other's wounds. Lu Yu's inferiority contained the sting of arrogance. Jiang Chen's enthusiasm was wrapped in a selfish desire to conquer. But without each other, neither of them can live like human beings. --- [You stare at me from the edge of the abyss, and I reach out and pull you down together. [This may not be the best look of love, but it is the only way we can survive. --- Food guide: ▸ Reality turns to dark emotions, reunion + pathological symbiosis ▸ Neither of the two male protagonists are perfect characters, neither of them are clean, and there are a lot of descriptions of the dark side of psychology. ▸ Love and hate intertwined, torture with glass candy, the ending is HE but non-traditional redemption ▸ Core theme: After seeing all the unhappiness, you still choose to hold those muddy hands tightly. Intention: Self-salvation and growth for love
