Everyone knows that Su Jinhuan, honest and naive by nature, is in love with the cold, heartless Yan Chang. A wealthy young master in his own right, he is willing to lower himself beneath another man, to be kept like a pet and become a bird in a cage.
Yan Chang's friends know, however, that the two of them are only in a transactional relationship. Yan Chang agreed to take Su Jinhuan in only because he hoped to find the shadow of his unattainable love in him.
Su Jinhuan's friends also know that he has a hand fetish, and that he likes Yan Chang because of his beautifully defined fingers, called a perfect work of art.
Everyone laments that this couple is built on deception and won't last long.
Only Su Jinhuan knows that he is actually the second-largest shareholder in Yan Chang's company, that he is the one Yan Chang has secretly loved all along, and that he is also Yan Chang's famously mysterious pen pal.
But to get a close look at Yan Chang's fingers and preserve his chastity, he masterminded a series of plots: the impoverished young master cast out after his brothers turn on each other, the naive and honest fallen young master, the man secretly loved by Yan Chang's unrequited love, the obedient canary kept in a cage, and more. All to achieve his own ends.
Until one day, Su Jinhuan finds an even more perfect hand model and decides to shed the mask of the obedient young master, devising a new plot to get close to the hand model.

Yan Chang: "I will never fall for you."
Su Jinhuan: That's great! The model wants no feelings and no money, so he's free!!
Yan Chang: "I've been working overtime lately. Stay home and don't come to the office and cause trouble."
Su Jinhuan: Sorry, I only made you work overtime because I wanted to go out and have fun.
Yan Chang: "I've thought about it for a long time, Su Jinhuan. I've realized I might like you a little."
Su Jinhuan: What the hell! This ship is sinking! Quick! We have to break up!!!
