The story mainly follows the character Fan Xiao, who had a very tragic childhood, which led him to develop an obsessive personality and post-traumatic stress disorder. His heart is dark because he never received love and doesn’t know how to love others. At first, he couldn’t stand Director You Shulang, a genuinely good and kind man. Fan Xiao believed it was impossible for someone to be so righteous, so he wanted to pull You Shulang down from his “pedestal” and expose the dark side of human nature.
However, after spending time together, he realized that You Shulang truly was a good person, and he unknowingly fell in love with him. They eventually became lovers.
After they got together, You Shulang discovered the wrongdoings Fan Xiao had committed in the past—such as, in the first episode, hitting someone with his car, seducing You Shulang’s then-boyfriend, drugging someone’s drink, and other harmful acts. All of this came to light. You Shulang was furious and broke up with him.
Fan Xiao acknowledged his mistakes, but he was already deeply in love with You Shulang and couldn’t let go. He couldn’t accept the breakup. He forced You Shulang to stay with him—essentially love by coercion. In short, he behaved like a horrible person. But he eventually realized that his actions only made You Shulang hate him more and lose the will to live.
This is when Fan Xiao finally understood the gravity of his mistakes. He began learning respect, learning how to love, and tried to atone. He even voluntarily turned himself in and went to prison.
Fan Xiao’s family had long run a business involved in criminal activities. However, he himself never touched any of the dirty money. He planned to gather evidence to send his father and older brother to prison to avenge his mother. But at the same time, You Shulang wanted to break up with him. Fan Xiao refused, so You Shulang tried to find leverage against him to force him to let go. This leverage turned out to be the evidence of the Fan family’s crimes.
But in reality, Fan Xiao had intentionally leaked the evidence to You Shulang. His goal was for You Shulang to turn him in, so he could atone. But You Shulang didn’t have the heart to do it. In the end, Fan Xiao took You Shulang’s hand, placed the evidence in it himself, and allowed himself to be arrested.
Three months later, the verdict came: he had committed no crime. Only his family members were guilty. He was released. Meanwhile, in Thailand, his family’s business believed he had betrayed them, so they sent a gang to kill him. Fortunately, the gang leader soon died, and Fan Xiao was protected by the police, allowing him to survive.
After surviving, he started from zero. He earned money through his own effort, matured little by little, and eventually moved You Shulang’s heart. The two reunited.
They had been separated for two years.
During the time he was incarcerated, Fan Xiao found the mother of a child and asked her to contact You Shulang. He knew that You Shulang would adopt the child. He was afraid that You Shulang would be alone.
Fan Xiao also left an education fund for the child, and secretly arranged for You Shulang to transfer into a job he truly loved. This time, it wasn’t obsessive pursuit at all—it was genuine selfless giving, a real transformation to become stronger and better.
For the first time, Fan Xiao felt You Shulang’s love, but he didn’t know how to deal with this unfamiliar feeling. He became confused, distressed, and misinterpreted this emotion because he had never experienced love before.

Fan Xiao’s childhood trauma — the tsunami
During a tsunami, Fan Xiao and his mother were trapped inside a house. Have you seen Titanic? It was like Jack and Rose. His mother placed him on a wooden plank to keep him afloat while she remained in the water.
The water kept rising, slowly submerging his mother. The house was extremely dark, and Fan Xiao kept lighting matches to see his mother’s face. Eventually, he ran out of matches and couldn’t light any more, but he pretended as if she was still alive and beside him.
This is why he kept lighting matches afterward—because mentally, he remained trapped in that small dark room and never escaped it.
When the rescuers finally opened the door, light poured in, and at that moment he saw his mother’s face again—already distorted and swollen from the water. It was unbearably cruel for such a young child.
