[System + replacement + twists + the long road to winning her back]
A dangerous game that begins with beauty, turns into a battle of wits, and ends in true love.
I used the beauty maxed out by my System to marry Gu Chen, the man everyone envied.
But for three years of marriage, he treated me with icy formality.
Then I discovered I might only be a stand-in, and decided to walk away, when I unexpectedly triggered the most dangerous secret behind our marriage.
When the gentle mask is torn away,
when a tender gaze conceals cold calculation,
when the man beside me starts looking at me as if I were prey,
I finally understand that this marriage was never a fairy tale.
And it seems the untouchable Mr. Gu has finally realized
that the canary he so carefully kept
has long since sharpened her claws.
“You think you control everything, but you don’t know I’m no longer a bird in a cage.”
