# Seemingly delicate but actually tsundere heroine × possessive, scheming hero
# The hero chases his wife after losing her ● A story of rebellion
When Yu Yue was ten, she made her first trip from Jiangsu to her mother's home in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.
A detached mansion, a private driver, and several Filipina maids. Who could have guessed that just seven years earlier, Yu Xiulian had been an unknown actress in a small county theater troupe?
The first time Yu Yue saw her mother, she was wearing a white silk slip dress, her beautiful face lowered. "Yu Yue?"
She nodded timidly and shyly. Yu Xiulian smiled and beckoned her over. "Come here, sweetheart."
Yu Xiulian embraced her, but before Yu Yue could soak up enough of her warmth, a maid came in. "Mr. Zhai and the young master are here."
The next moment, Yu Xiulian shoved Yu Yue into a cupboard. "Don't make a sound!"
Yu Yue clapped a hand over her mouth and peered through the crack in the cupboard door. She saw the tall, imposing man they called Mr. Zhai.
And behind him stood the young master, a handsome boy with eyes like glass. He glanced over coolly and casually, meeting the innocent eyes peering out from the cupboard.
Zhai Qingyuan smiled faintly. While Mr. Zhai and Yu Xiulian went downstairs, he quietly walked up to the cupboard and asked, "Are you a little mouse?"
His words were full of malice, and Yu Yue was afraid.
Ten years later, Yu Yue became a sensation on the runway and one of the most sought-after models.
But in Zhai Qingyuan's eyes, she was still the "little mouse" who had once hidden in the cupboard.
Zhai Qingyuan, her former stepbrother and now her lover, was the person she hated most and wanted most to avoid.
The seeds of revenge had sprouted in her heart and continued to grow.
Zhai Qingyuan had always thought of Yu Yue as a plaything.
If he liked her, he could cherish her like a treasure. If he didn't, he could cast her aside like trash.
If he made her cry, she had to cry. If he made her smile, she had to smile.
At some point, he began to care about his plaything. He didn't want to see her cry, but he couldn't stand to see her smile at anyone else, either.
He loathed marriage. He thought it would be fine to keep Yu Yue, his little canary, by his side for the rest of his life.
But one day, the bird had a mind of her own. She pecked him, then dared to fly out of her cage and leave him behind.
(Note: The heroine's mother and the hero's father were never married. The leads are not related by blood in any meaningful sense, and their relationship begins after their parents part ways.)
