The ancient story of Cinderella and the prince;
The story described in "fifty shades of grey" is almost a replica of the love story between Cinderella and the prince: the heroine Steele, a female college student, meets the handsome young group president Mr. Gray by chance. It's natural that two people should strike a spark of love.
However, with the deepening of the communication between Steele and Gray, she found that Gray is an avid BDSM (binding and training, domination and submission, sadism and abuse) lover. He promiscuous countless times, but never fell in love. He just found a young girl to be his "follower" after signing a confidentiality agreement.
However, this novel uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the central theme of BDSM in detail, which is really unusual. It is repeatedly emphasized in the novel that Gray's pursuit of BDSM is entirely based on mutual willingness and mutual trust. He seems to really love Steele, and Steele has been trying to accept BDSM because he loves him.
In the process of communication between the two sides, Gray's gloomy past gradually emerged: he was the son of a prostitute. Because his biological mother died of drug abuse, he was adopted by his current parents at the age of 4 and lured by his adoptive mother's friends to become an abuser. The ending of the story is also very old-fashioned: the two went to the traditional contractual relationship-marriage.
