But I'm Not a Canary (To Be Revised)

After winning Best Newcomer, Lin Xinlu was hit by a deluge of scandals.

One news story after another discussed the mansions, luxury cars, clothes, and jewelry that didn't match her background or family circumstances. She was also often seen at upscale bars and parties, and was suspected of entertaining clients.

The definitive proof that she was being kept was a photograph.

In the dim light, in a secluded corner, she knelt on someone's crossed legs, kissing them passionately.

Long hair obscured the other person's face. All that could be seen was the hand gripping Lin Xinlu's slender waist, long and elegant, and the diamond ring on its index finger, shining brighter than anything else in the animated image.

As the story blew up and she faced questions from all sides, Lin Xinlu changed her social media status to say she was on her second day in a relationship. The diamond ring that had sparked heated discussion appeared on her left ring finger.

Not long afterward, the old-established Wei Group underwent a transfer of power. Its newly installed leader was young and beautiful, with an elegant air. But on her left ring finger was a diamond ring that onlookers found strangely familiar.

The public was in an uproar.

After Wei Yan was found to have a same-sex orientation, her mother tossed the meter-high "Record of High-Quality Human Males" into the trash and started leafing through "High-Quality Human Females."

Wei Yan was sixteen that year.

Later, her mother brought home a girl from who-knows-where. She was lovely, quiet, and would shyly lower her head and call Wei Yan "big sister."

This wasn't her younger sister. She was her future wife.

By the time Wei Yan graduated from college, she couldn't help bringing Lin Xinlu, who had been raised to be increasingly obedient, to live by her side.

If Lin Xinlu was her wife, then Wei Yan should be the one to teach her.

Wei Yan taught Lin Xinlu to be bold, taught her to be lively, and taught her to do everything she wanted. Even if Lin Xinlu wanted to act, Wei Yan had more than enough resources to let her play around.

What can she say? You have to spoil your own wife. She may not have much talent, but she's always been remarkably approachable.

Question: What did Wei Yan teach you best?

Lin Xinlu blushed. "Love."
