His Dark Side

Shen Yunkong is the golden boy in everyone's eyes. By nature, he is rigid and aloof, follows a set routine in everything he does, and has an overwhelming need for control. He hates trouble more than anything, and fears it just as much. Yet early in life, a little trouble became forcibly attached to him, and he could neither break free nor shake it off.

Later, he falls in love with this trouble, embracing it willingly and without regret.

The most frustrating thing in the world isn't that I love you, but you don't love me back. It's that I love you more than anything, yet don't dare tell you. By Shen Yunkong

"She has a boyfriend."

Shen Yunkong tells the therapist, "She smiles at him. She's good to him. So good that it makes me jealous, drives me mad."

Shen Yunkong's eyes turn bloodshot. "Every day, I imagine all kinds of ways to kill her boyfriend. I'd use every vicious trick, stop at nothing, just to have her, to take her back. But, but..."

His voice grows softer and softer, his eyes almost spilling over with tears. "I'm scared. I'm afraid my love will hurt her. I'm afraid my obsession will torment her. Rather than make us both suffer in the end, I'd rather we had never started."

Theme: If unrequited love is a gamble, then I'm willing to spend my whole life on you.
