When poison metaphor is not enough, we also have bird in the cage metaphor lol
In CHTT context, the bird is definitely Xiahou Dan where he refuse to leave and wish to stay in his cage but Yu Wanyin still choose to free him despite all of that thinking he's only afraid. In YY context, Lou Zhu refuse to cage the one he love thinking that he'll just destroy him so he has this complicated long distance relationship with Zuo Yunqi where they love each other but can't live together.
