Synopsis

[Scion of a powerful Beijing family]× [Jinling’s most beautiful woman]

[Modern romance + wealthy-family intrigue + heartbreaking love + powerful-family drama + BE aesthetic]

At seventeen, Song Yiru went to the Yihe Residence to pick up a blanket for a friend and met two men who would change her life. She thought their tender encounter was a gift from fate.

Zhou Yuezhi was the first to fall in love at first sight, but Chen Xingshen got to her first. He used his devotion as a cage, taking advantage of her to secure his place in the Chen family. Every step was part of a carefully laid scheme, and he kept her confined in an elegant Republican-era villa in Nanjing. She did everything she could to see through the deception and break free.

But when she turned around, she found herself caught in Zhou Yuezhi’s gaze. She thought he would save her from her desperate situation. Restrained and reserved, considerate in every way, he never pressured her too much, yet always appeared when she was at her most vulnerable and wretched. His perfectly measured tenderness soothed her wounds, giving her dignity and room to breathe. She let down her guard and willingly drew closer, never realizing that this seemingly clear-eyed, distant protection had already woven an even tighter web around her.

One cage was filled with schemes; the next concealed a possessive devotion no one knew about. Trapped in two forms of confinement, both called love, she was tossed between manipulation and devotion, yet in the end, she could not escape the carefully laid web of love.
