Su Nian is everyone’s idea of the perfect woman: a partner at a top law firm, the future daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, and a winner in life. She lives in a gilded cage built from flowers and applause, until an anonymous text reveals the truth: her fiancé is using surveillance devices to monitor her every move.
At the same time, a disgraced former detective named Lu Chen enters her life. He is roguish, mysterious, and impossible to read, and claims he can help her uncover the truth.
But as the truth is peeled back layer by layer, Su Nian discovers that she is up against far more than a controlling fiancé. A carefully orchestrated conspiracy years in the making is unfolding, and she herself is nothing more than a pawn, conditioned and controlled on the board.
The cage door is open. Will she remain a canary on display, or tear this perfect deception apart with her own hands?
