The Canary's Guide to Self-Rescue

In her previous life, Luo Ning was Shao Han's caged songbird for seven years.

She spent every day in the villa Shao Han had prepared for her, cooking for him and waiting at the door for him to come home.

But all Shao Han ever left Luo Ning was the warm yellow glow of a lonely lamp in that empty villa.

Later, Luo Ning discovered she was only a substitute. Still, she refused to leave, stubbornly staying by Shao Han's side and hoping he would look her way a little more often.

It wasn't until she died in a car accident that Luo Ning finally understood. People shouldn't live only for others. They should live for themselves, too.

After being reborn, when her contract expired, Luo Ning didn't stay by Shao Han's side as she had in her previous life. She chose to leave.

Facing a fresh start, Luo Ning decided to pursue a small dream first: opening a dessert shop of her own.

Then one day, a customer walked in who seemed vaguely familiar.

Shao Han's eyes were bloodshot and rimmed with red as he held Luo Ning tightly and begged, "Ningning, don't go."

Luo Ning calmly pulled away and replied in an even tone, "Sorry, sir. I think you've mistaken me for someone else."

Little scene: Shao Han's friends all knew he kept a substitute for his white moonlight at home. She was very well-behaved and devoted to him.

But at a gathering one day, they realized that she wasn't a substitute at all. She was more like an empress!
