*Top-Tier Family + Older Man + Kept Woman + Uncle + Male Lead Is Chaste

Song Zhi was top of her class in forensic medicine. Usually unsmiling, she wore the same few outfits on rotation and never seemed to change her handbag. Yet a driver picked her up whenever she went out, bodyguards followed her, and the occasional post on her social media offered a glimpse of immense wealth and power.
In the eyes of her classmates, teachers, friends, and the children of elite families, she was a low-profile, mysterious, aloof heiress.
Until someone exposed that it had all been provided by a man from the Rong family in the capital.
Overnight, her status as an heiress crumbled, and she became nothing more than a mistress with no name or standing in everyone's eyes.
Worse still, rumors surfaced that she had been flirting with other men.
But before she could even make a fuss, the instigator vanished without a trace, and the news was suppressed as well.
A secretly filmed video soon made the rounds.
On a snowy night,
a multimillion-yuan Brabus was parked beneath a dim streetlight.
The footage zoomed in. In the driver's seat, Song Zhi was held down against the steering wheel and kissed fiercely. Only when her eyes were red and watery, as though she had been crying, did the man finally speak. "Pick an auspicious day and we'll go register our marriage, hm? Everyone outside is saying I'm your secret lover, with no name or standing. It'll be hard to explain to our parents..."

To Rong Xun, born at the very top of the pyramid and long accustomed to power, love was unimportant. It didn't even account for one percent of his life.
But since the young woman was going to such lengths to get in front of him, keeping her around for a while wouldn't hurt.
After all, she could make life a little more entertaining.
But... why wasn't she behaving?
Did songbirds in gilded cages go through rebellious phases too?
