Moonlight deep in the cage

On a rainy night, down-and-out doctor Xiao Mu traded three bottles of painkillers for a silver-haired girl chained by iron links. Her name was Yun Sheng. Her body was crisscrossed with whip scars, her eyes hollow—like a broken doll capable only of saying “Awaiting master’s orders.” Xiao Mu had taken her in originally just to test some drugs, but as he personally erased, inch by inch, the scars on that ruined body, a deeper thirst for control began to take root in his heart. Yun Sheng, like a drowning person clutching at driftwood, anchored all her attachment and self-abasement onto that sullen, brooding man. The bond between them stretched taut like a strand of spider silk, waiting to be set ablaze.
