Yu Xiyun’s life has been an endless wasteland. The biological daughter of the Yu family, she was ignored by her parents from childhood, treated coldly by her two older brothers, and forced to watch all the family’s love go to an adopted daughter with no blood ties to them. Hiding the emptiness in her heart, she poured all her passion into fashion design, mending her shattered youth one stitch at a time. Yet even owning a set of design tools of her own earned her family’s scorn for “neglecting her proper responsibilities.”
Then Yao Jinyi appeared, a fierce, scorching light that split open her dark world. He was the domineering CEO who ruled the Yao business empire, aloof and imperious, decisive and ruthless. Yet for her, disheveled and broken, he developed feelings he should never have had. He kept her in the palm of his hand, gave her every luxury, protected her from abuse, and even built her a private design studio, carefully cradling her dreams in his hands.
But his affection came with a domineering force she could not refuse: it was both a cage and a salvation. Yu Xiyun struggled between his tenderness and control, yearning for a warmth she had never known while continuing to endure the wounds inflicted by her family. When the adopted daughter stole her designs and her family twisted the truth to blame her, Yao Jinyi’s words, “I’m here. No one can hurt you,” finally gave her the courage to tear through years of restraint.
A single letter severed every tie with the Yu family. From then on, she was no longer the unloved castoff of the Yu family. She was the caged bird cherished above all by Yao Jinyi, Yu Xiyun, sheltered beneath his wings and free to pursue her design dreams in peace. But in this love scorched by danger, just how fierce was his devotion, and how deeply scarred was her past?
