[Originally titled "The Butterfly-Knot Cage" | Two female leads | Strong-willed, obsessive female boss × sensitive, tearful assistant]
Wen Shiyu had two secrets that no one else knew.
First, she had unusually sensitive skin. The slightest touch to her wrist would leave her whole arm red for the rest of the day, her emotions showing plainly on her skin.
Second, her boss, Shen Zhihan, kept her in the office every evening after work.
She would loosely wrap all kinds of ties around Wen Shiyu's wrists, fashioning each into an elegant bow and tying it to the side of her chair.
The drawer was full of ties in shades both light and dark: charcoal gray, navy blue, champagne pink. A different color scheme every day, but the bows never went missing.
At first, Wen Shiyu was terrified and unsettled, convinced her boss was deliberately teasing and punishing her.
Then Shen Zhihan leaned over and gently twirled the pink bow around her wrist, her cool voice lingering by Wen Shiyu's ear:
“Can't you tell? I'm giving you a gift that's yours and yours alone.”
The bows wove themselves into a gentle cage. Time and again, Wen Shiyu tried to break free, only to become more deeply entangled in the other woman's fierce, obsessive love.
