Lin Yan knew that Xu Zhixia was ill.
He'd known it from the first day they'd been together. It's not a slight depression, it's a severe depression that has taken root for many years, and it's a recurring bi-directional emotional breakdown. One second they were smiling and throwing themselves into his arms, and the next second they were suddenly silent and crying, locking themselves in the darkness and refusing to make a sound. Xu Zhixia's illness is the root cause of the rot in her native family. Especially her mother, who is the biggest shadow in her life. Years of denial, suppression, mental PUA, and countless cold violence from childhood to adulthood have left the originally lively little girl full of holes. She has low self-esteem, is sensitive, and is world-weary. She always feels that she is redundant, unworthy of being loved, and unworthy of any stability or beauty. Everyone had advised Lin Yan to forget it, it was too tiring. Spending time with a seriously ill person would have no end in sight and would only drag him down. But Lin Yan couldn't bear it. He had seen her tenderness hidden under the brokenness, he had seen her cautious way of loving others, he had seen her being soft-hearted towards the kitten on the roadside even though her body was covered in scars. So he was willing to accompany her through the sea of suffering.
