Plum Blossom Fragrance

She was the bird he imprisoned with power, the only variable in his paranoid world that he couldn't control. Chen Yanzhi, the heir to the top circles in the capital, was awarded the title at a young age and acted vigorously and resolutely. He used the most direct method to lock up the designer who was dismissive of him - cutting off her contact with the outside world, monitoring her every move, and weaving an airtight web with possessiveness. But she wasn't the only one trapped in the net. And himself. An Ran never understood why this man, who could turn his hands into clouds and rain, insisted on clinging to her. Until the appearance of that bracelet awakened a part of her forgotten childhood - the boy who taught her how to recognize plum blossoms in the plum garden, the man she once called "brother Yanqing", the man who set out on the road of no return for her at the age of thirteen. And Chen Yanzhi, that boy's younger brother, spent more than ten years living as a sinner who cannot be forgiven and a trapped beast who cannot be redeemed by love. When the layers of the past were peeled away, when the shadows of the Fu family, the temptations of the Ji family, and Su Yan's calculations all came to light, An Ran found that she had long been involved in a whirlpool that spanned two generations. Her existence itself is a chess piece that is coveted by many parties. But she refused to be just a chess piece. In the silent confrontations, in the real and fake tears, she learned to build walls with silence, use professionalism as a blade, and use her obsession with design to guard the last piece of her own territory. And those who think they can control her will eventually discover that those imprisoned may not be the weakest. The ones that are broken may not be the most vulnerable.
