At the age of seventeen, Lin Yan was helpless and had no choice but to be taken back to a luxurious river view apartment by Shen Yubai.
He thought he had found salvation, but accidentally stepped into an exquisite prison.
The young Shen Yubai was swallowed up by paranoia and mistook possession for deep love. He provided food and clothing, but deprived him of his freedom, cut off all contact with the outside world, and trapped Lin Yan with layers of rules. Arguments again and again, endless restraint, and the regret of not being able to see her grandmother for the last time became the last straw that broke Lin Yan's heart.
His love was gone, and on a midsummer night, Lin Yan escaped quietly and disappeared from the world.
After five years of separation, the master in the cage is trapped in endless regret. Shen Yubai finally realized: love is never about confinement and collection, but about giving the other person the right to choose. He wiped away his anger and trekked for a long time, persistently looking for the missing boy.
In the small southern town, the sea of people met again.
Lin Yan has rebuilt his life long ago, but the scars still remain in his heart, and he avoids Shen Yubai like a flood. On the long road of pursuit, Shen Yubai put away his former strength, guarded his boundaries, and carefully made up for his past mistakes. The truth that has been sealed for many years is slowly revealed, and the ice between the two slowly melts.
Scars cannot be completely erased, but love can grow again.
The bigots in the past learn to be gentle and respectful, and the hurt people muster up the courage to talk to each other again.
After going around and around, enduring tearing and separation, and suffering all kinds of pain, they finally found each other, and between freedom and equality, they rushed to a long-overdue stay together.
Purpose: 1. Possession does not equal love, boundaries and freedom are indispensable in intimate relationships;
2. The scars left by injuries are indelible, and those who make mistakes will have to pay the price for a long time;
3. People have the possibility of self-transformation and self-salvation;
4. Reconciliation is self-choice, not forced forgiveness; belated awakening can never make up for the initial harm.
