Lu Yanchen, a paranoid young man from a wealthy family, met the cold beauty Jiang Chi by chance on a rainy night. He fell deeply in love with her at first glance. His strong possessive desire made him use his financial resources and connections to get closer step by step, determined to keep her by his side. Jiang Chi suffers from bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, has hearing loss in his left ear, and is cold and distant. Faced with Lu Yanchen's arrogant and unreasonable pursuit, he always resists strongly. Even if there are many suitors, he never shows any warmth.
In order to keep Jiang Chi, Lu Yanchen put him under house arrest in a private apartment and cut off all contact with the outside world. He used both hard and soft tactics to restrain Jiang Chi mentally and sexually. The two continued to fight each other in the cage: Jiang Chi went on a hunger strike, had a cold war, and waited for opportunities to escape, using self-mutilation to resist and defend freedom. Lu Yanchen was paranoid and controlling, but also felt sorry for the other's illness. He customized protective gear for him, hired famous doctors to treat ear diseases and mental illness, and struggled repeatedly between love and madness. Jiang Chi once successfully escaped, but after regaining his freedom, he had difficulty integrating into normal life due to mental illness. His old injuries frequently recurred, and he had no one to take care of him. Lu Yanchen hid in a corner day and night, watching silently, protecting him secretly, and not daring to disturb him.
Desperate, Jiang Chi finally had no choice but to return to Lu Yanchen, and the two formed a pathological symbiotic relationship. Lu Yanchen's tenderness could not win Jiang Chi's heart. Jiang Chi, who was born with emotional defects, could never respond to this paranoid love, and Lu Yanchen's love completely collapsed. The two realized that they could neither love nor separate from each other, and finally agreed to go to the deep sea together to find relief. On the seaside during a heavy rainstorm, which was like their first sight, the two held hands and sank into the ocean, achieving eternal binding through death.
The main text and all the extras have tragic endings. Lu Yanchen was trapped in the obsession with possession until his death. Jiang Chi was unable to break free from the shackles of psychological illness and love. The deep sea became the final and eternal prison for the two of them. Their love was lost and there was no redemption.
Intention: Paranoid possession cannot buy sincerity, illness and obsession are intertwined, and death is the end of the two people's unresolved cage.
