"secretary"

The heroine lee: The family is discordant, the father is alcoholic and indifferent, and the mother makes him happier and more eager to get along with his father. In addition, she repressed and restrained, submissive, and released herself through self-mutilation.

Male protagonist Mr.Grey: Lonely, shy, his ex-wife is arrogant, he is helpless, has a strong desire to control, and enjoys the feeling of being submissive

After being favored by Edward, Lee sought a new release point and honored himself for being needed by the strong. They reached a tacit agreement: Lee will be "punished" for making mistakes. Yet she demanded far more than Edward-started to give her. She returned to self-mutilation, but found that it was still worse than that, so she deliberately made mistakes like a child, eager to get "punishment". In the end they were together, and she passed Edwad's test, enjoying that feeling forever.

Compared with 50°, there is basically no particularly large scale, but it is more delicate and pays more attention to the restraint of the spirit

The real sexy is not naked scratching and posing, what really makes people bloody is not the direct operation, but the nervous pursing of the corners of the mouth, the frantic pulling of the corners of the clothes, the friction through the fabric, the ripples from the soul, the sexy from the contrast.
