Why Does This Scumbag Sugar Daddy Dote on His Aloof Canary?

[Melancholy, devoted, gentle and doting CEO Shen He VS stubborn to the bone, delivery rider/waiter/doctor Su Mo]

[Double Rebirth, not a true stand-in]

Unable to have the one he loved, Shen He ended up taking in Su Mo as his caged songbird.

Shen He thought they both understood it was a transactional relationship.

Physical attachment, emotional distance.

Each got what they needed, and they stayed out of each other’s way.

Later, the songbird died, forcing Shen He into a one-sided tragic love story.

Shen He, who didn’t realize he was in love, didn’t want Su Mo to die.

So he gave his life back to Su Mo.

Given another chance, he wanted to take good care of his sorrowful songbird.

But the moment they met again, he realized the songbird had been reborn too.

In his previous life, the songbird had said, “Shen He, let’s not meet in the next life.”

What could he do?

He chose to play dumb.

And then...

He kept up his secret identity for three days before it was exposed...

Su Mo died.

He died on the day he had healed his severe anxiety by himself in the mountains, hopped on his electric scooter, and set off to deliver food and chase a better life.

Given another chance, all he wanted was to live well in a world of his own, until he discovered that Shen He had also been reborn...

“Shen He,

In my previous life, I was trapped in a quagmire and couldn’t escape, so I willingly became a loveless stand-in, a caged songbird.

In this life, I want you to love me. Give all your love to the best, healthiest, whole version of me.”
