Introduction to the novel
After a car accident, Su Zhenyue became Gu Yantang's "caged bird".
He is known as a gentle philanthropist by the outside world, and is the "benefactor" who holds her life and death in his hands. He takes great care of her in the villa with crabapple flowers, but he says in the gentlest tone: "Don't even think about escaping, you can't live without me."
She pretended to have amnesia, used her frail body as a shield, and stayed step by step in the gentle trap he had woven - the overturned documents, the hidden medicine dregs, and the probing words late at night were all the weapons of her "dirty strategy".
He saw through her disguise, but indulged her temptation, with paranoid possessiveness hidden in his eyes: "Zhenyue, stay with me, okay?"
When the truth about her parents' "accident" came to light, she realized that the strategy had already gotten out of control——
She hated his imprisonment and his calculations, but after he was imprisoned, facing the empty Begonia Garden, she admitted for the first time: those clumsy tenderness had long been engraved in her heart.
Is the pull between the sick hostage and the hypocrite a redemption, or another catastrophe?
"Mr. Gu, your tenderness is fake, but my feelings are real."
