Jiang Zhuo's survival rule is simple: run.
If you can't run away, just tell yourself: it's just a transaction.
He had been practicing "No expectation, no pain" since he was twelve years old. At the age of twenty-five, he met a man who wanted to support him.
Huo Mingqian gave him the role of Shen Yan, a studio, and Fontaine Latour's original rose. Jiang Zhuo thought he had finally been caught.
Until he pushed open the door and saw a wall of water lily paintings and a group photo, he had never seen Huo Mingqian smile like in the photo.
The day he pulled out his navel nail, he used an octagonal hammer bought from the hardware market to smash all the water lily paintings in the wall cabinet, burned an entire sketch of Huo Mingqian's profile, and left a stack of screaming oil paintings copied by Huo Mingqian. Then, he disappeared into the cold November wind in City C.
Seeing the bloody navel nail, Huo Mingqian panicked for the first time.
Payne Gray is the dark side and Ultramarine is the light side.
He gave Huo Mingqian a whole tube of ultramarine.
Shuangjie has a pseudo-substitute.
The emotional flow is slow and has a lot of foreshadowing.
One is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, while the other is a hindsight.
Demining: It's just a fun beginning, tumultuous in the early stage, bloody torture in the middle stage, and two-way healing in the later stage. There are trauma settings for both attack and reception, and the plot will stop at the end. Neither of them are good people in the absolute sense, and both have shortcomings. A little bloody. A bit literary. A bit showbiz.
Purpose: Love can make trauma healable
