At fifteen, Xing Yun struggles to survive in the mud of the slums, until one rainy night, Yan Zhi, a thirty-five-year-old financial tycoon, reaches out to her. He spends a fortune turning her into the brightest star and most celebrated actress, but also fastens the most exquisite golden chain around her neck.
As an adult, Xing Yun shines brilliantly, but in Yan Zhi’s study, the contract selling her at fifteen is still under lock and key. When Qin Mo, a kind young director on the rise, enters her world, Yan Zhi finally drops his hypocritical mask. “You think you can fly just because your wings have grown strong? Don’t forget who picked you up from the garbage heap.”
In this game, love is a means of taming, and hatred is nourishment. But is she truly a work of art carefully sculpted by President Yan, or merely a stand-in for the unforgotten woman he has loved all his life?
The canary strikes back. It starts now.
(Showbiz + possessive pursuit + stand-in romance + angsty love and redemption)
