Shen Dai has spent more than a decade pretending to be obedient around Xie Shuli. Everyone around them thinks she loves him passionately.
Then one day, after Xie Shuli is hospitalized following a car accident, Shen Dai leaves him without looking back.
She changes her SIM card, goes sightseeing, and has a brief romance.
Later, someone tells her that Xie Shuli has gone mad ever since the day she left.
The day she's dragged back to the Xie residence, Xie Shuli locks Shen Dai in a room and asks her one last time, "Do you love me?"
"No."
"It doesn't matter." He laughs in a deranged way, the calm in his eyes slowly cracking. "Shen Dai, you can't escape."
