In 2010, Li Xiaoran experienced a terrifying experience. Threatened by her ex-boyfriend with an AIDS needle, she cried and begged for mercy in a panic. Although Li Xiaoran was fortunate to be released, her current boyfriend Yan Po was brutally attacked. The attackers used machetes to swing at Yan Po several times, causing him to suffer a staggering 13 knife injuries, exposing his bones and breaking his hamstrings. The case, which was widely reported and dubbed the "Yan Po case", showed extremely brutal methods.
In 2010, an incident that shocked the society occurred in the entertainment industry - the Yan Po case. This case not only reveals the dark side of human nature, but also highlights the tragedy of malice and control. Li Xiaoran, a female star with a lot of status in the entertainment industry, became one of the victims in this turmoil.
Since his debut, Li Xiaoran has won the love of many fans with his excellent acting skills and charming charm. However, while her career is thriving, an unfortunate love entanglement puts her in an unprecedented predicament.
It all started with her acquaintance with Sun Donghai. The two met while filming the TV series "Paris Fairy Tale", Sun Donghai fell in love with Li Xiaoran at first sight, and immediately launched a passionate pursuit. In order to win the hearts of beauties, Sun Donghai did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy luxury cars, mansions and various luxury goods, and even provided her with rich film and television resources. Under Sun Donghai's sugar-coated cannonball offensive, Li Xiaoran was gradually moved, and the two began a sweet love journey.
However, the rift soon became apparent in the relationship. Sun Donghai's desire for control is so strong that it is suffocating, and he demands that Li Xiaoran must report his whereabouts to him at any time, and even interferes in her private life everywhere. Not only did he check her phone's contacts and chats to make sure there were no secrets to hide, but he also questioned her choice of work and asked her to change items he thought were inappropriate or didn't like.
Li Xiaoran initially tried to adapt to these requirements with a grateful attitude, after all, Sun Donghai had given her a lot of help and support in the early days of her career. But as time went on, this feeling of being watched and controlled all the time made Li Xiaoran feel exhausted. She began to realize that personal freedom and dignity were far more important than any favor.
Once, when Li Xiaoran was filming an emotional drama, he had a relatively intense emotional scene with the male protagonist. This was originally a professional need, but in Sun Donghai's view, it became an intolerable thing. He groundlessly accused Li Xiaoran of being too enthusiastic in the play, and even suspected that she had an improper relationship with the actor. This incident became the last straw that crushed Li Xiaoran's endurance, and completely ignited the fire of resistance in her heart.
Sun Donghai's vexatious and disrespectful to her made her unable to bear such a relationship anymore. Li Xiaoran decided to stand up and defend his rights and dignity, and was no longer bound by the unreasonable demands and prejudices of others. She resolutely ended this relationship full of control and repression, and regained the autonomy of her life and career.
So, she decisively proposed to break up. This made Sun Donghai very angry, and he vowed to make Li Xiaoran pay the price. Through his connections in the circle, he spread rumors to slander Li Xiaoran, and maliciously made things difficult for her by various means. Li Xiaoran fell into an unprecedented predicament, and his career and life were severely hit.
However, the good times did not last long, and with the deepening of the relationship, Sun Donghai's desire to control Li Xiaoran became stronger and stronger. At first, the sweetness and romance between the two seemed to herald a good relationship, but as time went on, Sun Donghai began to show his possessiveness and insecurities. He showed excessive attention to Li Xiaoran's career and even tried to interfere with her work choices and personal decisions.
In public, he asked Li Xiaoran to be by his side at all times and did not allow her to have any form of interaction with other male friends. This demand gradually extended to daily life, and Li Xiaoran found herself deprived of the right to socialize normally with the opposite sex. She used to be a cheerful actress with a wide range of friends, but now she has to carefully abide by the boundaries that Sun Donghai has set for her.
Li Xiaoran tried to communicate with Sun Donghai, hoping that he would understand her professional needs and the importance of personal space. However, none of these efforts seem to be to avail. Sun Donghai's control over her became more and more tight, and he even began to monitor her whereabouts, checking her phone records to make sure she was not violating his rules.
This kind of almost ** control made Li Xiaoran feel depressed, as if he was in an invisible golden wire cage. The skies that once soared freely were now narrow and suffocating, and her mind and body were under tremendous pressure. In this relationship, Li Xiaoran gradually lost himself and became a puppet in the hands of Sun Donghai.
Now, Li Xiaoran has come out of those dark years and walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand with his male best friend Xu Jianing. And the Yan Po case has also become a cautionary tale for people to be brave enough to say no and defend their dignity and personality in the face of malice and desire for control.
