Su Xi, the daughter of the Su family, fell into the abyss overnight. Her father was seriously ill and the family property was swallowed up. To pay huge medical bills, she signed a contract that was like a prison and became Lu Zhiyan's "property".
Lu Zhiyan, the leader of the Lu family, is as handsome as a god, ruthless in his tactics, gentle and distant on the outside, but on the inside he is a yandere who is extremely paranoid. The shadow of childhood gave him a morbid fear of "loss", and he was used to confirming his belonging with absolute control. Su Xi's appearance was like an unexpected light. He was attracted by her tenacity in desperate situations, and was crazy about her unyieldingness. He vowed to lock this thorny flower in his palm.
"Stay with me, and I will give you whatever you want." His tone was gentle, but there was an undeniable possessiveness in his eyes.
But Su Xi was never a canary at the mercy of others. She endures and lies dormant, frantically absorbing strength in her confinement, using her resourcefulness and talent to tear open the gaps in the cage, to take back everything and break free from control. "I'm not your collection." She faced his madness, her eyes as sharp as knives, "If you want to keep me, you have to learn to respect me."
On the way to counterattack, conspiracy and truth are intertwined. The two are each other's shackles and allies against the common enemy. He struggled on the edge of paranoia, moving from "control" to clumsy "cherishing"; she was tempered in the flames of revenge, but she also glimpsed the scars under his cold shell. When thorns entwine the flames, and the cage traps the sincerity, this entanglement that started as a transaction will eventually subvert each other.
Gripping and worth watching
