[Everyone’s Favorite + Drama Queen System + Unmatched Beauty + Male Rivals Battling for Her + Every Character Is Crazy + 1vN]
In a nutshell: The heroine writes herself a “kept songbird” script, fooling a group of obsessive big shots into believing she was trapped in hardship in her past life and now wants nothing but to escape.
(Six male leads plus a secret bonus character, each with an unexpected side. Those who prefer clean romance, read with caution.)
[The Key Twist] The heroine never experienced the so-called “past life.” She made the whole thing up.
Su Tingyue understood from childhood that trading favors was how adults played the game.
Her relationship with the System was simple and straightforward: she completed missions, and the System paid her what it owed.
They each got what they wanted, just like a client and a contractor.
System: “Win over your targets, sign the contract, and your wish will come true.”
Su Tingyue agreed at once. “Just one? No problem.”
The System gave a slight cough. “...Read the contract first.”
She flipped to the last page and counted the targets. Her voice immediately cracked. “...Six?!”
The System played dead on the spot.
Su Tingyue took a deep breath and quickly composed herself. “Then I’ll stagger them and win them over one at a time.”
She only had one thing to do: play the role of a wounded little bird, trembling with fear.
As for these men falling for her and becoming crazed with obsession, she didn’t care in the least.
Only later did they learn the truth.
She wasn’t crying because she was afraid.
She was crying because she’d acted so convincingly that she’d almost believed it herself.
But
A hunter can never be kept inside a songbird’s cage.
It feels very similar to a book I read before, but that book has been discontinued.
