Wen Jiao’s copycat roommate, who had secretly loved her for years, got engaged to a wealthy young master during their passionate relationship. At the engagement party, Wen Jiao was consumed by hatred as she watched the loving couple.... more>>

Her former lover laughed, “Wen Jiao, look at your circumstances. You can’t give me the life I want. I was just playing with you.”

Three years later, the Zhou family went bankrupt. Wen Jiao found her unfaithful ex-lover and blackmailed her into becoming her mistress. She held Zhou Ziyan captive, making her lose all her will to live, and turning her into a canary in a gilded cage who could only survive by pleasing her.

After learning Wen Jiao’s true nature, Zhou Ziyan fled one night with a suitcase, escaping the place that had caused her so much pain.

The truth behind the engagement party years ago slowly surfaced as power shifted: Zhou Ziyan had never betrayed Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao went mad, putting out a global bounty to find Zhou Ziyan, but she came up empty-handed. Until one night, she received an anonymous text message.

“Wen Jiao, I’m getting married. Please let me go.”

…

Zhou Ziyan settled in a secluded small town, using the alias Zhou Yan. The people there were simple and kind, and the scarred woman met a gentle female teacher. The teacher didn’t care about her past, only if she was tired or doing well. Zhou Ziyan decided to let everything go and marry her.

On the eve of the wedding, Wen Jiao’s bounty was released. Zhou Ziyan began to receive harassment from all sides and finally sent the anonymous text to her ex. From that day on, misfortune came in waves, and the people closest to her turned her in for the bounty, pushing her back to Wen Jiao.

“If you really love me, let me go.”

“Let you go?”

“Only when I’m dead.”

When they reunited, Wen Jiao discovered that Zhou Ziyan truly hated her and genuinely wanted her dead. <<less
