Marriage First, Love Later | Taking by Force
Resilient Guan Xibi vs. a Mad Young Master
The most painful time in Li Shuangxing's life was being locked in the Ji family's attic, spending every day with only a cuckoo in a flower cage for company.
Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, while the King of Shu entrusts his lovesick heart to a cuckoo.
Later, she left that attic, and the cuckoo died not long after she was gone.
Only then did she realize how unreal her life had been, no different from that of a lonely bird kept in a flower cage.

Reader tips:
* The person who imprisons the heroine is someone else, a villain, not the male lead. The male lead is the one who rescues her.
* The male lead has psychological issues, and the heroine is a pragmatist. They use each other as weapons, with everything out in the open. If this bothers you, stop reading in time.
* The heroine is imprisoned, but the villain is responsible. The story has an uplifting message and does not promote anything harmful.
* The heroine is threatened by the villain. One-and-only pairing, happy ending.
* The poem is from "The Zither" by Li Shangyin.
It's a rather warm story.
Slow burn, devoted love, emotionally driven.
