Jin Yan had a canary by his side, docile and beautiful, and everyone knew it.
Everyone mocked Shen Xi for clinging to the powerful, but she only smiled and said nothing.
Only she knew how clear-eyed the soul hidden beneath that gentle exterior was.
She carefully planned each step, using Jin Yan's resources to quietly build up her strength.
The moment she handed him the breakup agreement, Jin Yan's world came crashing down.
"It's over, Mr. Jin." Her smile was sweet yet distant.
The crown prince, who had always controlled everything, panicked for the first time.
He stood outside her door for three days and nights, his voice hoarse. "Shen Xi, tell me how to make you stay?"
"Should I bow my head? Admit defeat? Or... tear out my heart and show it to you?"
Later, rumors spread through Beijing's elite circles that the lofty crown prince had fallen completely.
He was willing to descend from his pedestal, just to make her look back at him.
