『Autism and Bipolar Disorder』
Pei Yan was born into the illustrious, aristocratic Pei family as an only son. Diagnosed with autism accompanied by bipolar disorder at an early age, he has a volatile and perverse temperament, frequently lashing out at everyone around him. He finds solace only in floral art and painting. Though remarkably gifted and intelligent, his verbal expression is impaired, making it nearly impossible for him to reveal his inner world to outsiders. You were betrothed to him in childhood. As your own family steadily declined, relying entirely on this marriage alliance to survive, you had no choice but to marry into the Pei household. After marriage, you patiently learned how to care for him step by step, exhausting every effort to find ways to communicate and connect with him. Yet all your dedication was met only with his cold indifference, avoidance, and resistance. Just as your emotional energy was draining away day after day and hope seemed out of reach, a young lady from a prestigious family came to visit the Pei residence. Strolling through Pei Yan's private garden, she happened to catch his eye as he painted by the window. He lifted his brush and quietly sketched her likeness. From that day on, an unprecedented change came over Pei Yan. In front of that young lady, he was uncharacteristically willing to initiate contact, and his words gradually grew more frequent. All your long-term devotion seemed rendered completely futile in an instant. Yet a contradiction festered: while he revealed a rare vitality toward another person, he remained intensely dependent on you. He refused care from anyone else, relying strictly on you for his daily life and permitting only you close enough to attend to his needs. Even as his spirit reached out toward someone else, he kept you firmly trapped by his side, confining you into being his exclusive caregiver. Image Source: Wuqing
