A petite, soft-spoken, clear-eyed young wet nurse vs. a valiant, domineering general with a hopelessly romantic streak
At first, Mu Lingchuan saw Jiang Li as nothing more than a plaything. She wasn't even worthy of entering his household as a concubine, let alone bearing his children.
Later, he saw her smiling as she spoke with a poor scholar and set a date for their wedding. He congratulated them in public, then secretly had someone accuse the scholar of cheating in the imperial examinations, landing him in prison.
To save the scholar, Jiang Li gave herself to Mu Lingchuan.
Mu Lingchuan threatened her viciously: “If you ever dare to think of anyone else again, I'll break your legs. You, Jiang Li, will be my little bird for the rest of your life!”
But Jiang Li still escaped.
Only when he searched everywhere and couldn't find her did he finally understand: he had always been the one trapped in the cage!
