[A master schemer’s escape × a ruthless, freewheeling man]
I destroyed the gilded cage so I could face you on the same stretch of ruins.
Jing Yuan, raised and controlled by her family for twenty years, knocks on Pei Ji’s door on her birthday.
He is the sharpest blade in business and the man her family fears most.
A seven-day deal: she gets her freedom, and he gets a blade hidden beneath a flawless facade.
But he has no idea that on a battlefield beyond his sight, she is stirring up a storm in the design world under the name “sunny,”
or that she is using financial weapons to clear obstacles for him from beneath the negotiating table.
She wears a meek mask for him, while her fingers quietly tighten the strings that control him.
He gives her the sky to soar through, but his gaze never leaves the path of her every wingbeat.
When her financial speeches and design drafts become the lethal weapons that bring down his rivals,
when his business empire is covered in the iris emblems she planted
a game that began with using each other finally becomes a struggle and resonance between their souls.
“Pei Ji, what is it you really want: an obedient blade, or… an accomplice who can stand beside you and burn the rules to ashes?”
