When Qin Yunzhou was six, someone took up residence in his heart.

She was a bright moon hanging high in the sky, while he was an illegitimate child abandoned in a filthy gutter.

She was proud, radiant, free, and full of life.

He was sinister, obsessive, hypocritical, and crazed.

When they met again, she was still the moon in the sky, but now she was a caged bird belonging to his older brother.

He should call her sister-in-law.

He bound himself with the chains of morality, but she was always stirring up trouble, setting temptation ablaze wherever she went.

She lifted his chin. "What I mean is, be his substitute and be my dog."

Once he crossed the line and broke his vows, he couldn't bear to let go.

From then on, he was willing to be her sharpest blade and most obedient dog.

"So what if you use me? So what if I'm a substitute?"

"As long as it's you."

As long as it's you.

Qin Xilou kept an unruly canary.

After three years together, she wanted to leave him just because he got engaged to someone else.

He cruelly clipped her wings, thinking it would only take a few days for her to come crawling back, beaten and begging.

He never imagined that one miscalculation would cost him everything.

Under the veranda in the courtyard, she had once told him, "Mr. Qin, I may love money, but I love you more."

But now, with both arms wrapped around his half-brother, she said, "Your brother and I were only putting on a show. You're the one I truly love."

Later, in prison, he caught hold of the hem of her clothes. "What did those three years we spent together mean?"

Song Yuqing chuckled. "Obviously, getting paid to sleep with a man, Mr. Qin. What, did you think it was love?"

"To be honest, every night I spent with you, I was wondering when the Qin family would finally get what was coming to them."

Song Yuqing had known from the start that Qin Xilou had never loved her as an equal.

But it didn't matter. She only loved herself, too.

Three years of playing along and putting herself in harm's way were all for the day the Qin family fell.

She had also known from the start that the Qin family's illegitimate son, her brother-in-law, had feelings for her.

But she had never given Qin Yunzhou a second glance, either.

Not until the day she realized he could be useful.

In a private club, beneath the dim lights, she pretended not to know him and announced that she wanted to hire him for the night.

She wrote her number across his chest and stomach with lipstick, teasing him with smoldering eyes. "Qin Yunzhou, call me."

Under the birch trees, in the scorching sunlight, she turned up the heat and named him as the man she wanted for a substitute.

She traced his features with her fingertip, making no effort to hide her scheming. "That's right, I'm using the fact that I helped you to ask for something in return. So, do you want to be my puppy?"

Three years ago, the Song family was framed and ruined overnight. Her family was destroyed, and she lost everything.

From the moment she decided to take revenge, Song Yuqing cast aside her morals and her sincerity.

She used honeyed words to win money and affection, and made her beauty a weapon.

The bright moon above became a woman of the pleasure houses.

Reputation and love were no more than flowers reflected in a mirror, or the moon's reflection in water.

Love? That was a dream only young people could afford to have.

From the moment she set her sights on Qin Yunzhou, Song Yuqing had already planned how the story would end.

The illegitimate son would take his place in the family, and the caged bird would tear down her cage.

She would make the Qin brothers turn against each other, turn friends and family into enemies, and bring every crime to light.

She was ready to take up arms against him.

How could she have known that he would always be on her side, willing to hand everything over to her?

When a dream sank into a mire and passion caught fire as pure love, she fell helplessly in love without even realizing it.

Only then did she understand that once a soul is loved, the flesh can grow wildly.

Adult love is about weighing the pros and cons, about schemes and calculations.

But you are the only scheme I have.

1. Paragraph comments are now open.

2. The former title was Flip the Table! The Rich Family's Canary Won't Put Up with This Anymore.

3. The male lead is a virgin; the female lead is not. Before the major revision on May 26, both leads were virgins, but that didn't make sense given the story and characterization, so I changed it. I also apologize to readers who added the book to their shelves because both leads were virgins.

*. From Yu Xiuhua's poetry collection The Moon Falls on My Left Hand. The original line is: After a soul is loved, the flesh grows wildly.

Theme: I was born to be a mountain, not a stream.
