Early stage (college period, about 40,000 words): Liu Yan has been secretly in love with Lu Muchen since his freshman year, and he still refuses to give up even after his confession was mildly rejected in his sophomore year. In his junior year, he carefully planned his second confession and confessed his love in public at the graduation party, but was sternly rejected by Lu Muchen in public and became a joke on campus. Liu Yan's self-esteem was severely damaged and he buried his obsession.
Middle period (compulsory period after graduation, about 50,000 words): Liu Yan used his family's power to become an important customer of Lu Muchen's company after he joined the Architectural Design Institute. They approached each other in the name of project cooperation and gradually set up a situation to put Lu Muchen into a career crisis. Finally, Lu Muchen was forced to sign an unequal agreement, move into the residence arranged by Liu Yan, and begin forced cohabitation.
Later period (falling in love three years later, about 30,000 words): In a forced relationship, the two torture each other and understand each other. Lu Muchen gradually discovered the trauma behind Liu Yan's paranoia, and Liu Yan also saw Lu Muchen's vulnerability under his indifference. An accident made the two people face their hearts, and finally reached a true understanding through mutual redemption and established a relationship of equal love.
Concept: The emotional entanglement between two men spanning twelve years, weaving a web of thoughts about injury and healing, control and freedom, escape and courage, time and perseverance.
