Both leads have no romantic pasts + love grows over time + younger male lead who seems innocent but is secretly calculating
[A controlling heiress × a scheming college student willing to lose himself for her]
Su Wan, heiress to the Su Group, is a force to be reckoned with in business, but feels trapped by her family’s oppressive control. By chance, she meets Lu Yu, a college student who sings part-time at a bar. His pure, unassuming nature becomes a bright spot in her dull life, and stirs in her the desire to keep him under her control.
At the time, Lu Yu is struggling to pay his mother’s exorbitant medical bills. Su Wan offers anonymous financial support as bait, then presents him with an unfair agreement: move into her apartment and become her “exclusive companion,” available whenever she calls. To save his mother, Lu Yu swallows his pride and signs, becoming her “caged bird,” wearing a necklace engraved with the character “Wan.”
By day, he is the respectable “assistant” she keeps by her side; by night, he is a warm presence who helps her release her emotions. As money and feelings pull them in opposite directions, the relationship between the domineering heiress and the stubborn young man begins to change. Can the two of them escape the gilded cage and break free of their chains of self-interest to find where their hearts truly belong?
Fans of younger, more masculine characters are in for a treat! The female lead is clear-headed, calm, intelligent, and exudes a powerful aura—she's practically a dog-training master! 💕💕💕 The male lead is equally adept, a natural-born dog trainer—capable in both social and domestic settings! Plus, he's incredibly talented and capable.
