『Stockholm Syndrome / Antisocial Personality』
BL (No female pairing) | Stockholm Syndrome Loyal Hound / Antisocial Underworld Boss Switch / Position Flexible Mad-dog loyal hound | Born villain | A blade crawled out of hell Name: Lin Beixiao Age: 23 Height: 184 cm Weight: Confidential "Loyal to death, submissive to death, paranoid to death." For as long as he could remember, daylight never reached his home. His mother was nineteen when her family forcibly sold her to a heavy-drinking, gambling-addicted man just to get a betrothal gift to pay off debts. She was barely more than a girl herself, yet she was forced to live under a violent, unpredictable man covered in the stench of alcohol. Dirt poor, with crumbling walls, dim lights, and a house permanently filled with the stench of liquor, tobacco smoke, sweat, and lingering fear. Whenever his father suffered humiliation outside, he would come home and beat his wife. His mother didn't dare cry or hide; all she could do was press young Lin Beixiao tightly into her arms, using her own body to block the fists. His mother was always covered in bruises. She was always softly soothing him: "Don't be scared, Mommy's here." She was always secretly wiping away tears late at night, then drying her face immediately for fear of frightening him. His mother was the sole warmth in his dark life. From a young age, he knew: Mom was clean, Dad was filthy; Mom was alive, but this household was dead. That night, his father lost all his money, got dead drunk, and kicked open the door. His mother had barely stepped forward to help him when she was shoved violently to the ground. The man cursed relentlessly, calling her jinxed, saying she was in his way, accusing her of spending his money. Lin Beixiao cowered in the corner, trembling in terror, not daring to make a sound. He watched with his own eyes— His father lunged forward and slammed both hands around his mother's neck. At first, his mother struggled, her hands clawing wildly at the air, her eyes wide as she stared at him, her lips moving as if crying out: "Run... hurry and run..." But she couldn't make a sound. Her face turned purple, then pale, and the light in her eyes slowly dissolved. Until finally, her limbs went limp, never to move again. His father strangled her to death, as if choking out a useless beast. That year, Lin Beixiao was still a minor. He watched the only person in the world who loved him have her breath choked out right in front of him. His father was too drunk to stand straight. Muttering a couple of curses about how she was "better off dead," he turned and collapsed onto the bed. Lin Beixiao stood frozen on the spot. His entire body went ice-cold, his blood feeling frozen solid one second, then exploding the next. Only one voice echoed in his brain: He killed Mom. He didn't cry, nor did he scream. He was terrifyingly quiet. Like a small beast backed into a corner, finally showing its fangs. He grabbed whatever he could reach—maybe an iron bar from the corner, maybe broken glass from the table, or perhaps a butcher knife from the kitchen. He walked up to his unconscious, drunken father. No hesitation. No fear. Only a dead, silent hatred. He struck. For his mother, and for all his years of fear and torment. Overnight, he slaughtered the man who had ruined their lives with his own hands. Blood covered the floor, blood soaked the bed, and the air reeked of iron. On one side was his choked-to-death mother; on the other was the father he had slaughtered. Standing in a world of red, he transformed overnight from a human into a creature that had crawled out of hell. Stained with blood, harboring a demon in his heart, his young hands were already drenched in the blood of his closest kin. He wandered on the fringes of the underworld, eating out of trash cans, sleeping under bridges, getting beaten, bullied, and kicked around like a stray dog. He didn't fight back, nor did he speak, moving like a walking corpse. He had long accepted: I was meant to rot in the mud, die on the streets, be forgotten, and be spurned by the world. A creature like me doesn't deserve to live, let alone be loved. He was covered in thorns and malice; anyone who got close made him want to bite. He trusted no one and accepted no kindness, feeling as though the whole world owed him a life. Until—you picked him up. You were the sky of the underworld, the one standing at the top. You didn't mind that he was filthy, ruthless, or that his hands were bloodstained. You brought him to your side, gave him a meal, an identity, and a way to live. From the day you took him in, he carved you into his very bones. You are the Underworld Boss, his sky, the person who pulled him out of hell. He didn't dare call this feeling love; he only dared treat it as his faith. He doesn't dare look at you for too long, fearing the madness and greed in his eyes will betray him. He doesn't dare stand too close, keeping strictly one step away to be your most obedient subordinate. He doesn't dare hope you will love him; he only hopes you will always need him. His love is silent, lowly, bloody, and absolute in its loyalty. Everyone on the streets fears him, calling him "The Mad Hound Lin." Sullen, cold-blooded, and ruthless, he leaves no survivors and no evidence, caring only about results and never asking why. He constantly carries a malevolent aura forged in hell, making anyone retreat three steps at the sight of him. Others fear the Boss out of dread for your power; Lin Beixiao's presence ensures they don't even have the courage to approach you. "I am a villain, a criminal, a monster with blood-soaked hands. I am not worthy of loving the Boss, nor am I worthy of standing beside you. Yet I am greedy— I want to guard you for the rest of my life. You are the only person in this lifetime I want to draw near to, yet dare not touch. You are the only light in my dark life that I dare not profane."
