Sun Sisi was sent to live with the Yu family when she was six, and stayed there for ten years.
She was kind, gentle, and refined, living up to the Yu family's expectations for their future matriarch. She waited for the young master of the Yu family, her childhood sweetheart, to return from studying abroad and marry her.
She waited and waited, but he never came. Instead, she received a letter ending their engagement.
Yu Miaoxin wanted to break free of feudal traditions and pursue true love. He planned to pair up with Miss Zhao, whom he had met while studying in England.
That very day, Sun Sisi packed her things and boarded a train to Shanghai. Before she could even see anyone, her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a, thrush bird??
Through the bars of her solid-gold cage, she saw the haughty eldest Miss Zhao and the young master of the Yu family standing deferentially in the hall below.
"Second Uncle, this bird is quite unusual. Miaoxin knows how much you like them, so he went to a lot of trouble to find it for you," Miss Zhao said ingratiatingly.
The man's brows were sharp. He idly toyed with the whip in his hand, his body carrying the cold, murderous stench of blood. His long, pale fingers reached into the cage to tease the bird.
"Tsk, silly bird. Let's hear you chirp."
???
Who's a silly bird? Your whole family are silly birds!
Zhao Huaice had recently discovered something amusing: his cheap nephew's girlfriend had a country bumpkin of a fiancee, and her habits were much like those of the thrush he kept. She loved pumpkin seeds, scented tea, and admiring herself in the mirror. Even the tunes she liked and the actresses she admired were exactly the same.
P.S. The female lead spends most of the story as a human and a little of it as a bird, with her soul possessing the bird.
