Synopsis
After discovering she is the doomed cannon-fodder female supporting character destined to die at the very beginning of a novel, Song Zhenxing decisively shreds the “good girl” script imposed on her. She stabs the scumbag man who wronged her and fiercely confronts the relatives who tried to seize her family fortune. Without hesitation, she hires a seemingly obedient 20-year-old young man, Lu Zheng, to act as her shield.
This “younger brother” figure is not only attentive but also formidable—kicking down the ancestral hall’s main gate, smashing through the company’s doors, and helping her reclaim her shares, proving himself to be the ultimate ally. But just as Song Zhenxing begins to grow dependent on Lu Zheng’s constant presence, she is shocked to uncover the truth: this so-called “poor student” is actually her long-unmet fiancé. Every trace of his gentleness and compliance was a carefully crafted trap.
What began as a fake sibling dynamic instantly escalates into a high-stakes game of power and deception. In the end, will she be a caged bird—or the one who controls the board?
