Shen Zechuan, the president of the Shen family, a giant businessman in City A, is a hidden figure whose true face no one dares to see. His past of being abandoned by his mother in childhood and leaving a mysterious father behind has made him cold-tempered and not close to women. Xia Nianshu, an ordinary office worker in the island city, works multiple jobs to raise medical expenses for his mother. When he was singing in a tavern, he declined Secretary Shen Zechuan's invitation to accompany him as a drinker. It was a chance encounter, but he reunited with the boss of Party A because of Party B's proposal.
After Shen Zechuan recognized her, he deliberately made things difficult for her. He forced her to sing at the proposal meeting, and exposed her lie about refusing to drink alcohol at the dinner party. When he intercepted her in person, the tavern owner Li Mu stepped forward to protect her, which completely ignited his desire to conquer - smashing the hotel, kidnapping people, and forcing Xia to go to the bureau. At the wine table, he mocked her with all his might, watching her get drunk, but when she turned red and choked, he was attracted by the fragility of tolerance. He sniffed her breath greedily and caught a glimpse of her half-life grievances hidden under her stubbornness: her father's domestic violence, her mother's sole support, studying in a prestigious school, and raising money for her mother. All her tolerance collapsed in the choked "I'm sorry".
Shen Zechuan accidentally let her go home, but Xia Nianshu's life had just calmed down when the second female lead Yi Wan, whom she had not contacted for a long time, suddenly arrived in City A. This old woman who had cruelly rejected Shen Zechuan six years ago and now abandoned her family and children when she saw that he was in a high position came under the pretext of looking for his first love. She was once the white moonlight in Shen's heart, but she didn't know that this belated approach was the beginning of Xia Nianshu falling into the sick palm of Shen Zechuan.
The big boss's paranoid possession has awakened, Bai Yueguang's deliberate entanglement is pressing harder step by step, and the gentle male lead's protection has never been absent. However, Xia's humble obsession with treating her mother cannot escape Shen's control step by step. This conquest that started with making things difficult will eventually become his imprisonment in the name of love.
Purpose: Taking the paranoid possessiveness of the yandere boss Shen Ze as the core, it explores the distortion of intimate relationships caused by the trauma of the original family, and the self-salvation of Xia Nianshu, a lower-class woman, in the dilemma of survival and emotional manipulation. In the extreme tension, the story asks "whether imprisonment in the name of love is love", and ultimately points to: the real salvation is never to rely on the strong, but the courage to rebuild oneself in the brokenness.
