"Dark Flame Tangled Branches" tells an emotional story full of suspense and entanglement between the painter Su Yan and the mysterious rich man Lu Chenzhou. When Su Yan was preparing for his personal exhibition, an intersection occurred due to Lu Chenzhou's strong intervention. Lu Chenzhou not only had insight into Su Yan's creative style, but also understood his unknown past.
It turned out that the two lived in an orphanage together when they were children. Su Yan had silently cared for the thin and bullied Lu Chenzhou, leaving sugar-paper roses as a farewell before leaving. Many years later, a fire took the life of Su Yan's adoptive father and became a knot in his heart. After the reunion, Lu Chenzhou was no longer the young boy he was back then. He was paranoid and strong. He used various means to get close to Su Yan. Not only did he show his extreme understanding of him in the details of his life, but he also hinted that he was related to the fire.
In Lu Chenzhou's private manor, as the relationship deepened, the dusty past was gradually revealed. Lu Chenzhou made no secret of his possessiveness. While facing Su Yan day and night as a model, he used secret clues to lead Su Yan to explore the truth. In shock and resistance, Su Yan gradually discovered her complicated feelings for Lu Chenzhou. In the intertwining of love and hate, the two launched an emotional game full of danger and temptation. At the same time, they also explored the truth of the fire in the fog.
Intent: Love and redemption under abnormal obsession: Lu Chenzhou's paranoid possession and Su Yan's passive struggle show how distorted love can become a new shackles in the name of redemption. When affection and control intertwine, it reveals the alienation of human nature by extreme emotions, and how the protagonist finds an outlet for self-salvation in the contradiction between love and injury.
