The Canary

I was the golden canary at the side of the capital’s most powerful young heir, and I thought he treated me differently from other women.

It wasn’t until his beloved, Li Yue, appeared before me that I clearly understood my six years of love had been a joke. From beginning to end, I had only ever been a stand-in.

Later, I left without a word and chose to build a life of my own. Three years later, when we met again, everything had changed.

That year, the snow fell fiercely, but his voice was bitter beyond words.
