In her previous life, she was the high priestess charged with the fate of her people. She was exhausted from carrying the burden.

Reborn in this life, she became the “little orphan girl” kept in a gilded cage by Xie Heng, a powerful figure in Beijing’s elite circles.

Xie Heng wielded immense power, but his paralyzed legs had left him gloomy and ill-tempered. Everyone kept their distance.

Until one day, she bent down and lifted his trouser leg without hesitation. Her gaze was clear and certain. “I can heal your legs.”

The man gripped her chin, his eyes full of scrutiny and menace. “What do you want?”

She met his abyssal gaze and spoke each word with conviction: “I want you.”

From then on, the gilded cage that had confined her flew open. He thought he had captured a little bird, but he didn’t know she was a phoenix born to soar through the heavens.
