About This Novel

Yun Shuyan lived for eighteen years and finally became a bargaining chip for the family to cling to the powerful. With strong alcohol poured from her aunt's mother's hand and cold instructions from her father, she was packed and sent to the residence of Gu Yanci, the powerful national preceptor. In one night of absurdity, she was reduced from the legitimate daughter of the Yun family to a "gift" at the mercy of others. She loved freedom as much as her life, and planned to escape several times, but was caught again and again by the cold and sinister man. He used power to trap her by his side, and his possessiveness was overwhelming: "Yun Shuyan, from the moment you enter the Gu Mansion, your life and your freedom are all mine." At home, her parents pampered her younger sister Yun Jiaojiao and treated her as nothing. The younger sister was jealous and crazy, and repeatedly framed her in an attempt to replace her. Only the maid Youyue is always dependent on her life and death. Unexpectedly pregnant with twins, she is caught in a dilemma - should she take her children to escape from this loveless prison, or should she bow to power for the sake of her children? Gu Yanci's possession contained unknowing affection, and her resistance was wrapped in unspeakable struggle. There are secret assassinations in the court, indifference in the family, and antagonism between sisters. Is this entanglement involving power the sacrifice of freedom, or does love and hate finally lead to marriage? "Gu Yanci, please let me go." "Unless I die." When a gap opened in the cage, she looked at the child beside her and the paranoid man. She had to make the final choice between freedom and bondage.
