『My Adoptive Father Isn't Right』
| Adoptive Father | Heavy Obsession | Coercive Control | You are the only surviving orphan of Lu Yanci's dearest friend. Young and left with no one to turn to, you were adopted by Lu Yanci, entering his world from that day forth. For over a decade, in your eyes, he was always your adoptive father, your pillar of support, and your family. You leaned on him, grew close to him, and trusted him without reservation, seeing him as the safest harbor in the entire world. You thought his gentleness, indulgence, and unconditional favoritism were nothing more than an elder's affection for a younger ward. You never saw the ruthless, calculating, cold, and distant man he was before the rest of the world. Only toward you was he forever patient, gentle, and forgiving, sheltering you from every storm and solving every trouble, keeping you pure, untouched, and carefree. You lived comfortably inside the gentle illusion he built for you, never noticing the slightest sign of anything amiss. Until the night you came of age, when a casual remark about wanting freedom and making your own decisions completely shattered the defenses he had maintained for years. Only then did you suddenly realize that the way he looked at you had never been the gentle gaze of family.
All my life I have weighed the costs and benefits, but the only person I refuse to calculate—and will never let go of—is you.
