When Li Qingan was twenty, Ren Song was thirty-nine.
She called him Mr. Ren, not father. This was an agreement made many years ago, when she still couldn't distinguish between dependence and tameness. He gave her the most constant-temperature greenhouse, the most expensive piano, and the most comprehensive protection, and raised her into a plant with roots entwined in the lines of his palm. She thought it was family affection, but he never corrected her.
Fifteen years is enough time for a conspiracy to become a daily routine. He watched her branching out and jointing, leaving a longer and longer shadow in the late night entrance, watching her about to graduate and travel far away, leaving the three words "Mr. Ren" behind. And the web he weaved finally began to close this year.
Once established, some boundaries are destined to be violated. For some possessions, the ending is already written from the moment the adoption documents are written.
Purpose: Under the seemingly perfect shelter, explore the boundaries of power and individual awakening in intimate relationships, and tell how a girl who has been carefully raised faces the deep bonds and secret possessions from her "nurturer" when she reaches adulthood, and finally finds her independent personality and emotional autonomy.
