Mother is armor and weakness

Li Jiangdao is a heinous loan shark collector. He is cruel by nature and cruel. The people he collects debts, some people have love, some people have families, they all have hope for a right life, and he violently collects debts , leaving countless families torn apart.

He was alone, and he was not used to seeing the beauty of the world.

But suddenly one day, a woman named Jiang Meishan claimed that she was his biological mother, and Li Jiangdao was his long-lost son.

The woman made breakfast for him and knitted his clothes. This woman's considerate care was a long drought for Li Jiangdao, who had been emotionally deficient for a long time, and the emotions that Li Jiangdao buried deep in his heart gradually revealed.

He was finally not so alone.

From the beginning of resistance, hatred and hatred of her mother's abandonment, to going out shopping together, risking beating people for her mother, and gradually becoming more and more dependent on her mother. He wanted to sleep with his mother, and when she was out of sight, he would frantically search for her, and he became more and more dependent on her.

"Is it wrong for a mother who has only found her child in thirty years to hang out with her child?"

He is a demon who uses money to test humanity

But he always wanted to be the forever child in his mother's arms

——————

He gradually became kind, willing to let go of some difficult families, willing to compromise for his mother again and again, and willing to "save" her mother's inferiority...

Love can also influence demons

But things took a turn after a birthday. The woman didn't let Li Jiangdao touch the scarf she knitted, and she became indifferent and uncertain.

Is this suddenly appearing woman really Li Jiangdo's mother?

He believed she was, he hoped she was. He has fallen into the illusion of happiness, and his mother has become the only sustenance in his life.

But this mother is a fake, her real son has long been told by Li Jiang...

It is a long-planned revenge that destroys a person not by physical torture, but by quenching his desire for love and hope.

Violence, sex, class, tangle, love, redemption…

In the end, the woman could not forgive Li Jiangdao, and she wanted to complete this revenge in exchange for her own death. Li Jiangdo lost his "mother" and returned to a world of loneliness. He lay on the soil where his "mother" fell, crying like a child and calling for his mother. The seeds of affection planted by the vengeful fake mother sprouted. On the road at the end, Li Jiangdo hangs himself on the truck and draws the redemption of love with the blood of the flesh.
