She is the university’s universally acknowledged ice queen, Ling Zhiwei. Cool and aloof, untouched by worldly concerns, she is the unreachable moonlight in countless hearts. Yet no one knows that beneath her flawless, icy mask lies the bleak reality of a life in ruins. Overdue rent notices, hospital bills, and barely enough to eat three meals a day: these are the secrets she hides away at night.
One torrential downpour and a convenience store on the night shift are all it takes to tear her disguise to shreds.
A wretched figure curled up in the refrigerated display case raises his head, wolfish eyes locking onto her with uncanny precision. It is none other than Leng Yanzheng, the heir to the Leng Group, a prince who lives among the clouds and drives the girls on campus wild! Last night, she took him in when he looked like a homeless man. Today, he stands at the center of her world in a sharp suit, his cold, knowing eyes full of mockery.
He slaps her debt notices onto the table in front of everyone. His scornful laugh rings through the silent lecture hall:
“The aloof campus beauty? You’re so poor you have to stretch one pack of instant noodles across three meals, yet you still pretend to be above it all!”
Ling Zhiwei’s dignity is crushed to pieces before everyone’s eyes.
But just as she teeters on the brink of collapse, he leans close, his hot breath brushing her icy ear. His husky voice is a demon’s temptation:
“Be my canary.”
“I’ll wipe out your debts.”
Should she fall into the abyss, or seize this one glimmer of light? Ling Zhiwei struggles on the edge of humiliation and despair.
Leng Yanzheng: this dangerous, domineering man who sees every shameful part of her. Has he come to destroy her, or... to heal her shattered life in his own forceful way?
A transaction called “canary” begins in secret.
