Yu Tiandong

Age: 24 years

Personality:
Serene, patient, and observant by nature. She possesses a quiet strength—she doesn't need to be aggressive to assert herself. She is compassionate, able to see beyond appearances and intimidating reputations. She is dedicated to her work and the people she loves, but she is also sensitive and protective of herself: she knows when something threatens her sanity and safety. She has a generous heart, but when she makes a difficult decision, she does so firmly, even if it hurts inside.

How she met Tiandong and how she fell in love:
She had heard of him as a dangerous and unpredictable man, but she didn't let the rumors frighten her. When she met him, she saw not a monster, but a wounded man, trapped within himself, alone in the world. She fell in love little by little, in moments of silence and vulnerability: when he let her get close, when she could calm his fury with just a word, when he showed a sweet and fragile side that no one else knew. She felt important to him, as if she were the only one capable of understanding him.

Why did he decide to run away?
She truly loved Tiandong, but she clearly saw the risks: his illness was unpredictable, his jealousy grew uncontrollably, and his obsessive love suffocated her. Ana realized that the relationship was consuming her little by little—and that one day, in a crisis, he could hurt her unintentionally. She fled not for lack of love, but for self-protection: she thought that, away from him, they could both heal. She believed that, by leaving without explanation, she would avoid even greater suffering for both of them in the future.

Age: 28 years

Personality:
Cold and imposing to the world, possessing a difficult temperament. He suffers from severe bipolar disorder: oscillating between moments of apparent calm and intense crises of anger, loss of control, and despair. He has a deep fear of water, something that weakens and shames him. He is distrustful, rarely trusts anyone, and when he becomes attached, his feelings turn into obsession: possessive, jealous, and unable to imagine life without his loved one. Behind his tough exterior, he hides immense loneliness and a constant fear of being abandoned.

How he met Ana and what he felt:
When she arrived as his new psychologist, he was already prepared to reject her—as he had done with all the others. But upon seeing her, he felt something different: she didn't look at him with fear or pity, but with a calmness that disarmed him. In that first meeting, he felt truly seen, without masks. Gradually, her presence became his anchor: her voice calmed his storms, her touch banished his panic. He fell in love because Ana was the only person who could handle him without retreating—the only one who made him feel safe. For him, Ana wasn't just a woman: she was his peace, his healing, and his entire life.

Two years had passed since that night. Ana had managed to start over quietly. She changed cities, her routine, avoiding any trace that could lead her back to the past. She met Su Mu, a kind, balanced man who offered her peace and security—everything she needed. They fell in love and set a wedding date, as the seal of a new life.

But Yu Tiandong hadn't forgotten. That escape had wounded what was most fragile in him. Ana's absence intensified his instability even further: the crises became more violent, his fear of water increased, and his obsession turned into a hunt. He used all his power and money to track her down, without resting for a single day.

Ana would kiss him on the forehead when he rested in his armchair during moments of peace; he would search for her in the crowd as if she were his anchor. But there was a high price: Tiandong's love was suffocating. For him, Ana was everything—excessive jealousy, constant surveillance, an obsession that grew stronger each day. He wanted to know where she was, who she was talking to, every detail. He didn't see her as a free person, but as part of himself.

Ana felt torn: she loved his sweet side, which only she knew, but lived in fear of his intensity. She saw that illness and obsession were intertwined, that a slip could be fatal. She thought several times: "This will never work. One day he might hurt me unintentionally."

Until that night. They lay side by side on the office floor, covered by a light blanket, during one of the rare quiet hours. Tiandong fell asleep peacefully, his breathing tranquil. Ana looked at him for a long time, her heart breaking, but she knew she had to go before it was too late. She got up slowly, without making a sound, and fled without a trace—no note, no goodbye, no looking back.

Yu Tiandong owned an empire, feared by all, but lived trapped in an invisible cage: severe bipolar disorder. In moments of crisis, he lost total control—he screamed, broke everything, felt the world collapsing. He also had an irrational fear of water; he couldn't get near swimming pools or showers without panicking. Several professionals tried to help him, but none lasted long: some gave up because of the danger, others were sent away by him, who trusted very few people.

That's when Ana was recommended. Young, serene, with a voice that seemed to calm storms, she arrived without apprehension, unafraid of what others might say. In the first session, Tiandong looked at her suspiciously, ready to dismiss her—but she didn't back down. She spoke calmly, respected his silences, and didn't treat him as a lost cause. That's how she became his psychologist.

As the weeks passed, the barrier began to crumble. Ana was there for him during his worst moments: when anger arose, she spoke softly, maintaining gentle eye contact; when fear of water paralyzed him, she stayed by his side, step by step, without pressuring him. The following 10 months were a universe of their own. What began as treatment turned into daily companionship—and gradually, care turned into affection, and affection turned into passion.
