The Labyrinth of the Cage

Sign language teacher vs. game designer

Li Ruan never imagined that her first love would be Jiang Songxiao, or that it would be a relationship with a younger man.

Oh well, what's the big deal about having a younger boyfriend call her big sister? She likes him, after all!

Jiang Songxiao never imagined that he had deliberately approached Li Ruan with dishonest intentions.

Who could have guessed that he wouldn't get done what he set out to do, and would end up giving her his heart instead?

Little bonus scene:

Li Ruan wanted a freshly fried sunny-side-up egg, but neither she nor Jiang Songxiao knew how to cook.

At mealtime, alongside the takeout, there was a freshly fried egg.

Li Ruan looked at Jiang Songxiao in delight.

Jiang Songxiao casually said it was no big deal.

But he barely ate at dinner, saying he wasn't hungry.

Later, Li Ruan discovered that the new carton of eggs was empty.

She'd only eaten one fried egg. Where had the rest gone?

Coming soon: Transmigrate to Ancient Times as a Female Musician and Escape Servitude. Please bookmark!

Yan Xiyu transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a female musician who was kidnapped as a child and sold to the Bureau of Music.

The Bureau of Music has a rule: women there must perform at a brothel within a year of coming of age.

The original owner came of age in June. She had a chance to be bought out, but another female musician at the bureau secretly snatched it away.

The original owner was so furious that Yan Xiyu transmigrated into her body.

Yan Xiyu, who is about to take the original owner's place at the brothel: ...

Kidnapping, the Bureau of Music, female musicians, and brothels.

Yan Xiyu: Just those words alone are enough to make the newly transmigrated me furious all over again.

But Yan Xiyu isn't the original owner. She isn't going to wait around for someone to buy her freedom. What she needs to do now is escape the Bureau of Music.

But Yan Xiyu has no household registration, no travel permit, and only a slave contract held by the matron in charge of her.

Yan Xiyu: No rush. Let me think first.

Later, Yan Xiyu escapes alone and heads for the border. To her surprise, quite a few others come along with her.

The borderlands are filled with mountains. Yan Xiyu takes a liking to the tallest and largest one, only to find that someone already lives there.

The other party clearly refuses to let her bring her people there, too.

Later, Yi Yanliang stands beside Yan Xiyu and tells those who have come to seek refuge, “Whatever happens, you don't need to ask me. My wife is the one in charge.”
