Synopsis

Birds Cannot Escape the Golden Cage, Part Two

Age gap / status gap / mutually devoted / domineering pursuit followed by sweet pampering

Wild birds may die from longing for freedom.

Fu Xuelan’s solution is to build one a bigger, more spacious cage, then give it hope that it can leave.

One day, the bird will choose to stay in his palm.

Bai Yang is poor.

His scumbag father is in prison, with no end in sight to his sentence. His mother is hospitalized with a serious illness, and his little sister is in high school. As head of the family, he wishes he could split every penny in half, and yet it still isn’t nearly enough.

Crushed by the harshness of reality, he can only choose to sell himself. At least he’s good-looking.

Unexpectedly, after a fluke encounter, he catches the eye of the eldest young master of the Fu family from City A on his very first day on the job.

Don’t get the wrong idea. He’s simply being used as a prop for acting and an emotional dumping ground.

His benefactor is generous, and that eases the financial pressure on the Bai family considerably.

In the dead of night, Bai Yang feels he’s becoming more and more depraved. He actually thinks being kept might not be so bad.

But his good fortune doesn’t last. His benefactor’s elder, apparently having heard some unbelievable rumor, personally rushes to City M to catch him.

From then on, Bai Yang’s life takes a complete 180-degree turn.

Fu Xuelan, the current head of the Fu family in City A, has spent years living in the mountains because of his unusual constitution and rarely socializes. But in high society, tales of his ruthless decisiveness have long circulated.

He thought no one could ever make him break his principles. Then a delightful little Bai Yang suddenly appeared.

He follows his heart and decisively “steals” Bai Yang from his son, keeping him by his side.

Bound to the man by a contract, Bai Yang finds his life gradually invaded, until escape is impossible.

Familiar, so familiar. A glance at the homepage revealed it was by the author of "The Golden Cage," and I knew it felt so similar—it's the same author! The author's writing is truly excellent; the oppressive aura of power is very well-written.

This is noticeably gentler than the one about Nan Ke, which was too extreme and depressing. This one is much better; you can clearly see that Fu Xuegang genuinely loves Bai Yang.

Super good!! Hahaha, I came from the book next door, hehehehehe, I really like this style of forced love novel. Author Moduomoduo, I thought Fu's way of addressing Bai would be the same as in the previous book, but I didn't expect him to have a little lamb nickname, hahaha, so cute. I hope the following plot will be more different from the previous book, so that it will be fresher and more exciting (˵¯͒¯͒˵).

I just realized the author is the same one as the author of "Nan Ke"! No wonder it felt so right! I've been lamenting not finding a replacement, but now I have the same author—wow! Update!

It's so good! Although it's supposed to be forced, Lao Fu doesn't restrict Bai Yang at all. On the contrary, he constantly guides and helps Bai Yang become a better person. Judging from the progress, Bai Yang seems to have feelings for Lao Fu too. So sweet! 😍😍😍₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑

This is a really engaging older man/younger man story! The age gap is significant, but that's completely negligible. Men are like fine wine, the older they get, the better. The head of the family is such a perfect match for my taste—long hair, a reserved yet passionate man, and most importantly, he's got money!

I finished reading it a while ago and I'm going to write a follow-up review. It's a very good book. Even after finishing it, I still remember it vividly and feel like I haven't had enough. Fu Xuelan fell in love with Bai Yang at first sight, thus beginning his plan. He went to great lengths to obtain the lamb, and although there was a mandatory label 🏷, it wasn't really that simple.

So good! I've reread this author's books several times; they're the epitome of forced love! But this one, Fu, still has a human touch, it's so sweet! 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️ [Already hooked]

It's so good! This one is much more to my liking than the one about birds. So satisfying! 😋😋😋 I originally thought the punishment would be a beating, but it's just writing calligraphy! 🥺🥺🥺 Even an old man like me loves it! 😋😋😋 Reading it made me forget about finals week for college students. Brilliant!
