Lost in the Cage

1. Xue Yi was born into humble circumstances. By chance, she had a prophetic dream and learned that in the future she would become the plaything of a powerful man and meet a tragic end. When she woke, Xue Yi resolved to avoid the man from her dream. Unfortunately, although they had shared a bed for so long in the dream, Xue Yi had never been able to see the man's face clearly. She only remembered that he was moody and inscrutable, and that he had a red, crescent-shaped birthmark on his lower back. 2. Her paternal aunt had married into a wealthy family. When Xue Yi visited the Duke of Boling's residence, she happened to meet a promising match: Cui Heng, the future heir. This older cousin was highborn and as gentle as jade. His one flaw... was that he was far too proper. No matter how she flirted with him, he wouldn't fall for her. To secure the marriage, Xue Yi staged a rescue after falling into the water, embracing Cui Heng in her wet clothes in front of everyone, their skin pressed together. She fell into the water, and her clothes got wet. Just as Xue Yi was about to get what she wanted, she accidentally saw that familiar, terrifying crescent-shaped mark. It was on her “gentle as jade” second cousin. Xue Yi: “...” Is it too late to change my mind? [Hero's point of view] When a beautiful distant cousin came to stay with his family, Cui Heng developed improper thoughts from the very first time he saw her. Yet the more he tried to restrain himself, the more recklessly she threw herself at him. Well... then she couldn't blame him. #She tried to avoid him, but still ended up in the palm of his hand# [Reading Guide]: The prophetic dream does not mean she has been reborn, and what she sees may not be real.
